Give the o.N. Of each of the elements magnesium and oxygen in the reactants and in the products 2Mg + O2=2MgO

Chemistry
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the rules for the oxidation states in chemical reactions, it is possible to realize that lone elements have 0 and since magnesium is in group 2A, it forms the cation Mg⁺² as it loses electrons and oxygen is in group 6A so it forms the anion O⁻²; therefore resulting oxidation numbers are:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Best regards!

How is the information about cats found in myths and fairy tales and legends different from information gathered through science
forsale [732]
Scirnce uses a method of testing to declare rules or facts. myth and fairy tales have no way of being tested. cats are a physical creature we can see, test, and observe. a mythical idea canny be tested. for example: mermaids cannot be tested as we have none to observe.

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase:  Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.

Explain why 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane. hint: examine the
Mama L [17]

Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.
