Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Write a word amd chemical equation for this reaction.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: -

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Explanation: -

Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg

Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂

Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂

The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

HELP.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The mass of tin is 164 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Specific heat heat of tin = 0.222 J/g°C

The initial temeprature of tin = 80.0 °C

Mass of water = 100.0 grams

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Initial temperature = 30.0 °C

The final temperature = 34.0 °C

Step 2: Calculate the mass of tin

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Qgained

Qtin = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(tin)*c(tin)*ΔT(tin) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒with m(tin) = the mass of tin = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with c(tin) = the specific heat of tin = 0.222J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(tin) = the change of temperature of tin = T2 - T1 = 34.0°C - 80.0°C = -46.0°C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 100.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 34.0° C - 30.0 °C = 4.0 °C

m(tin) * 0.222 J/g°C * -46.0 °C = -100.0g* 4.184 J/g°C * 4.0 °C

m(tin) =  163.9 grams ≈ 164 grams

The mass of tin is 164 grams

An unknown liquid has a mass of 22.1 g
Yuki888 [10]
M = 22.1 g
V = 52.3 mL
D = ?

D = m/V
= 22.1/52.3
= 22.1*10/52.3*10
= 221/523
= 0.4

There. I’m sorry i forgot what exactly was the S.I. unit of density :(
