Answer:
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Explanation:
Step 1: The balanced equation
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
Step 2: Data given
Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles
Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant
Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.
For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Melting
Melting is a change in property of matter from solid to liquid
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Thus, there are fundamentally three types of matter which is solid liquid and gas. But why do gases and liquids diffuse and not solids? It is because of the molecular structure of these components of matter. If we examine the molecular structure of gas the molecules are highly scattered and liquid has also almost the same structure as mediocrely scattered that these particles can easily slip through other substances unlike solid which is entirely intact. <span> </span>
