Silicon is a metalloid element commonly found in Earth's crust. It helps form many different compounds, which have a variety of

different properties and applications.
One type of silicon-containing minerals is asbestos. Asbestos is resistant to heat and electricity, leading to its widespread use in manufacturing and the construction industry. Asbestos insulates buildings and makes them fire resistant. However, despite its usefulness, exposure to asbestos fibers or dust carries serious health risks that can cause respiratory disease or cancer.

Another silicon-containing compound is orthosilicic acid. Unlike asbestos, orthosilicic acid seems to benefit human health. This compound readily dissolves in water and is biologically stable enough to be used in the human body. Scientists have found evidence that orthosilicic acid plays an active role in the maintenance of strong bones.

The information above shows that silicon has both beneficial and detrimental effects on the human body. Given this information, think about other examples of materials or substances that can be both beneficial and detrimental at the same time. Research and write about two examples. Be sure to provide evidence to support your point of view.

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Explanation:

Let’s remove the parentheses and write the formula as MgCl₂O₈.

We see that 1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ contains 1 mol Mg atoms, 2 mol Cl atoms, and 8 mol O atoms.

∴ \text{Moles of Mg atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Mg atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{5.90 mol Mg atoms}  

\text{Moles of Cl atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{2 mol Cl atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{11.8 mol Cl atoms}

\text{Moles of O atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{8 mol O atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{47.2 mol O atoms}

∴ Mg, Cl, O = 5.90, 11.8, 47.2

What type of reaction is shown below? <br> Ca + 2H2O - Ca(OH)2 + H2
krek1111 [17]
A + BC  ---> AB + C
So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion
So this single displacement
Similarly in the given reaction
the anion OH- is only being replaced
The element Ca accepts OH- and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2
So the correct answer is
Single replacement also known as single displacement.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1M HCl: add 1mol/12M = 83 ml conc. HCl to 1L of water or 8.3ml to 100ml.

2M HCl: add 2mol/12M = 167 ml conc. HCl to 1L of water or 16.7ml to 100ml.
