Answer:

H2SO4(aq) + MgO(s) → H2O(l) + MgSO4(aq)

Explanation:

We must recall that the oxides of metals are bases. These metal oxides can react with dilute acids to yield salt and water.

Bearing that in mind, we want to obtain magnesium sulfate from a metal oxide and dilute acid.

In this case we need magnesium oxide and dilute sulphuric acid. The reaction occurs as follows;

H2SO4(aq) + MgO(s) → H2O(l) + MgSO4(aq)

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

"Urban area is used for the buildings, industries etc, whereas the rural areas are used for cultivation, forest cover etc."

Explanation:

When we talk about the urban land they are mostly covered with buildings, industries, roads and apartments and also the municipal structures. But when we talk about the rural land it has less dense population with forest cover, agricultural lands, rangeland and also different land cover type. In the urban areas the population density is very high. Those areas that located in the outskirt of the town are the rural areas.

Metals have a low electron affinity- a less likely chance to gain electrons because they want to give up their valence electrons rather than gain electrons, which require more energy than necessary.
