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!

The air we breathe is not considered by chemists to be an element. why not

ohaa [14]

Because Air itself is not an element. it is made up by different elements such as Oxygen and nitrogen. since its made up of a mix of different elements, its rather a homogeneous mixture :)

The beakers in the picture above are labeled according to the ionic solutions they contain. What metal or metals could replace c

tangare [24]

Explanation:

When a metal replaces another metal in solution, we say such a reaction has undergone a single displacement reaction.

In such a reaction, metal higher up in the activity series replaces another one due to their position.

To known the metal or metals that will replace the given copper, we need to reference the activity series of metals.

Every metal higher than copper in the series will displace copper from the solution.

So, there metals are: potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, strontium etc.

An experimental spacecraft consumes a special fuel at a rate of 372 L/min. The density of the fuel is 0.730 g/mL and the standar

Karolina [17]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate fuel consumption is as follows.

$372 L/min \times 1000 ml/L \times 0.730 g/ml \times \frac{1}{60} min/s$

= 4526 g/s

Now, we will calculate the power as follows.

Power = Fuel consumption rate × -enthalpy of combustion

= $4526 g/s \times -26.5 kJ/g$

= $1.19 \times 10^{5}$ kW

Thus, we can conclude that maximum power (in units of kilowatts) that can be produced by this spacecraft is $1.19 \times 10^{5}$ kW.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. You are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. You are informed

Rashid [163]

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.
