PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. Magnesium oxide is used mainly in soil treatment and groundwater remediation, wastewater treatment, etc. it is used for it's acid buffering capacity and effectiveness in dissolving heavy metals.

b. MgO is the chemical equation for the reaction.

c. multiply the given mass of O2 by the inverse of it's molar mass. multiply the molar ratio (from the balanced equation) between O2 and MgO. Multiply by the molar mass of MgO. 32g O2 x 1 mol O2 ... 32g O2 x 2mol MgO 1mol O2 x 40g MgO. .... 1mol MgO = 80 g.

d. Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) produces MgCl 2(aq) + H 2 (g). Where the letter "s" stands for solids, and "g" is for gas and "aq" represents aqueous solution.
