What is the reduction half-reaction for 2Mg + O2 → 2Mgo?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When magnesium burns, it combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to form magnesium oxide (MgO) according to the following equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) ... Thus, a reduction half reaction can be written for the O2 as it gains 4 electrons: O2(g) + 4e− → 2O.

Identify the state of matter for A, B, and C.
drek231 [11]

Explanation:

A) particles are close together in random positions with about equal kinetic energy and intermolecular forces.

These points are about liquid state.

B) particles are close together in fixed positions with low kinetic energy

These points satisfy the qualities of Solid state

C)particles are far apart with greater kinetic energy and low intermolecular forces.

The above qualities are for Gaseous state of matter

A) Liquid

B)Solid

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
Komok [63]

The  moles  of  oxygen  gas (O2) that is needed is    4  moles


 Explanation

2H2 +O2 → 2H2O

The  moles of O2  is determined using the mole  ratio  of H2:O2

that is from equation  above H2:O2  is 2:1  

If the moles of H2  is 8  moles therefore  the moles  of O2

 = 8 moles x 1/2  = 4 moles

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity
jekas [21]

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.
