Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.

Answer:

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Explanation:

Step 1: Balance the equation

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + CO2 + H20

For 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed, there is produced 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O.

Step 2: calculating moles of CO2

mass of Co2 = 20.5g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mole

moles of CO2 = 20.5 / 44.01 = 0.4658 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of NaHCO3

Since we have for 1 mole CO2 produced, there is 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed.

To calculate number of moles of NaHCO3, we have to multiply the number of moles of CO2, by 2.

⇒ 0.4658 x2 = 0.9316 moles

Step 4: Calculating the mass of NaHCO3

mass of NaHCO3 = moles of NaHCO3 x Molar mass of NaHCO3

mass = 0.9316 moles x 84g/ mole = 78.25g NaHCO3

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is
Julli [10]

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

The activity series goes top to bottom, most active to least active elements, going: Li, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Hg, Au. 

Thus, your list of metals would go from most reactive to least reactive: Li, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au
