Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives

= 46.66 g of MgO.
Answer:a leech
Explanation: a parasitic relationship is one organism benefit on the other while the other is harmed
Density is the measure of a material's mass per unit volume, used in many aspects of science, engineering and industry. Density can be calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Since different materials have different densities, measuring an object's density can help determine which materials are in it. Finding the density of a metal sample can help to determine its purity.When measuring liquids and regularly shaped solids, mass and volume can be discovered by direct measurement and these two measurements can then be used to determine density. Using a pan balance, determine and record the mass of an object in grams. Using a vernier caliper or ruler, measure the length, depth and width of the object in centimeters. Multiply these three measurements to find the volume in cubic centimeters. Divide the object's mass by its volume to determine its density. Density is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter or grams per milliliter.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:
In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:
Write the net chemical equation for the production of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide. Be sure your equation is balanced.
<u>Answer:</u> The net chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:
(1)
( × 6 )
(2)
To omit acetylene from the net chemical reaction, we multiply Equation (1) by 6.
<u>Equation 1:</u> 
<u>Equation 2:</u>
<u>Net chemical equation:</u> 
Hence, the net chemical equation is written above.
