Answer:
2.9 grams.
Explanation:
- From the balanced reaction:
<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>
1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.
- We need to calculate the no. of moles of (1.8 g) of Mg and (6.0 g) of oxygen:
no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (1.8 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.074 mol.
no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (6.0 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.375 mol.
<em>So. 0.074 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.074/2 = 0.037 mol) of O₂ which be in excess.</em>
<em></em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.
∴ 0.074 mol of Mg produce → 0.074 mol of MgO.
<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.074 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>2.98 g.</em>

Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
