Answer:

In this chemical equation, there are two main elements. Those elements are magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O). Molecules are a group of atoms bonded together, and in this case, the oxygen molecules is O2, but not 2MgO because there are two different molecules in this compound. Coefficients are a number that multiply an entire molecule, and are also placed in front of it. In this case, O2 has no coefficient, but a subscript of 2. But, every molecule in this equation must have a coefficient and if add a coefficient of 1 to the oxygen molecule, it does nothing to the overall balancing of equations.

So, the answer: coefficient to the oxygen molecule is 2.

A sample of argon gas has a volume of 795 mL at a pres-sure of 1.20 atm and a temperature of 116 ∘C. What is the final volume of

jek_recluse [69]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume when the pressure and temperature has changed is $1.6\times 10^2mL$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

Let us assume:

$P_1=1.20atm\\V_1=795mL\\T_1=116^oC=[116+273]K=389K\\P_2=0.55atm\\V_2=?mL\\T_2=75^oC=[75+273]K=348K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.20atm\times 795mL}{389K}=\frac{0.55atm\times V_2}{348K}\\\\V_2=\frac{1.20\times 795\times 348}{0.55\times 389}=1.6\times 10^3mL$

Hence, the volume when the pressure and temperature has changed is $1.6\times 10^2mL$

What do the parentheses mean in a chemical reaction and how they are used

galben [10]

Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.

So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.

For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃

So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.
