Answer:

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Explanation:

Mg produces less amount of MgO than O2; therefore Mg is the limiting reagent. O2 produces more amount of MgO than Mg; therefore O2 is the excess reagent.

What should i write on a essay about glue and liquid corn starch

PolarNik [594]

Hmm... interesting topic you're writing about here!
Well, for this essay, there must be specific criteria, correct? I'll make some suggestions, but of course you don't have to go by them if you don't like 'em. So... here they are!:

- List the physical and chemical properties of glue
- List the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- Compare and contrast the physical and chemical properties of glue with the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- You can conduct some experiments with the two substances also! You can mix the two together and see how they react with each other, and incorporate the results of the experiment into your essay.
- You can mix glue with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the glue mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
- You can mix liquid corn starch with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the liquid corn starch mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe you'll take some of these suggestions into consideration...? Anyhow, I hope I helped somehow! :)
