<u>Answer:</u> The given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where two small chemical species combine in their elemental state to form a single large chemical species.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which heat is released by the reaction. The heat is written on the product side of the reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)+\text{heat}

The above chemical reaction is a type of synthesis and exothermic as two substances in their elemental state are combining. Also, heat is getting released in the reaction.

Hence, the given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

What is the oxidation number for iodine in Mg(IO3)2 ?
mestny [16]
The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as 
   Mg(IO3)2
   MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
   (+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
   2 + 2I - 12 =0
   10+ 2I =0
    10 = 2I
     I =5

How many attoms are equal 6.19 moles of hydrogen?​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

3.727x10^24 atoms.

Explanation:

When calculating how many molecules are in a compound or element, we refer to Avogardo's number.

Your equation will look like this: 1 mole/ 6.022x10^23 molecules (Avogardo's number).

Multiply 6.19 by Avogardo's number to get your answer.
