Given :

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

To Find :

How many moles of magnesium oxide are formed if you burn a 2.3 mol sample of magnesium ribbon in the air.

Solution :

From given balanced chemical reaction we can see that 2 mole of Magnesium reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to produce 2 mole of MgO.

Since, there is abundance of oxygen in air.

Therefore, 2.3 moles of magnesium will produced 2.3 moles of magnesium oxide.

Consider three generic acids: HX , HY , and HZ . The number of H plus and X minus ions in solution is equal to the initial numbe
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Decreasing order of strength of the the acids :

HX>HY>HZ

Explanation:

The strength of an acid is measured by their pH of aqueous solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

pH\propto \frac{1}{[H^+]}

  • Lower the pH more will be the hydrogen ions and stronger will be the acid.
  • Higher the pH less will be the hydrogen ions and weaker will be the acid.

Solution of HX , has equal number of hydrogen ions as a that of its initial molecules o HX.

[H^+]_x=[HX]

Solution of HY , molecules of hydrogen ions are half of the molecules of HY.

[H^+]_y=\frac{1}{2}[HY]

Solution of HZ , one quarter molecules of hydrogen ions and three quarter  of the molecules of HY.

[H^+]_z=\frac{1}{4}[HZ]

[H^+]_x>[H^+]_y>[H^+]_z

This means that HX is strongest acid followed by HY and then HZ.

Decreasing order of strength of the the acids :

HX>HY>HZ

Referencing the reasoning you used from #1, explain the difference between objects that feel hot and those that
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The temperature of the cold water is lower than the warm one. So, when we put the hand in the warm from the cold water, our hand will absorb heat, causing the hand to feel hot. Thus, we can conclude that the more heat it absorbs, the more hotter it is. Whereas the more heat it releases, the colder it is.

What should be done to investigate the cause of the contamination of well water?
elena-s [515]
One way is for <span>a landowner to gather as much information as possible about his or her private water well, to know how it works, as well as who has had the land before them. The landowner needs to see if anyone has used pesticides in the area, as it can contaminate the well water. This is the most common way. The landowner can also check to see if any other chemicals have been spilt in the area or even a gas or oil leak, as that too can cause the contamination of well water.

I hope this helps.</span>

One of the main advantages of Hydrogen as a fuel is that:
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A fuel cell is defined as the electrochemical cell which converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often used hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often used oxygen) into electrical energy via a pair of redox reactions.

The reactions which occur in hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell are:

At cathode:  H_2+2OH^-\rightarrow 2H_2O+2e^-

At anode:  \frac{1}{2}O_2+H_2O+2e^-\rightarrow 2OH^-

As we can see that reaction of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas gives us the water as a product which can be used for other things and it also doesn't pollutes environment.

Saline solutions, NaCl (aq), are often used in medicine. What is weight percent of NaCl in solution of 4.6 g of NaCl in 500g of
inysia [295]

Answer:

0.92% NaCl

Explanation:

To find the weight percent (aka. mass percent), you need to use the following equation:

                                mass of solute (g)
Mass Percent  =  ---------------------------------  x  100%
                               mass of solvent (g)

In this case, NaCl is the solute and water is the solvent. You can plug the given values into the equation and solve for the mass percent.

                                4.6 g NaCl
Mass Percent  =  ------------------------  x  100%
                                500 g H₂O

Mass Percent  =  0.0092  x  100%

Mass Percent  =  0.92%
