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.

If a pharmacist adds 10 ml of purified water to 30 ml of a solution having a specific gravity of 1.30, calculate the specific gr
xxMikexx [17]

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.

Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be \frac{49}{40}=1.225 g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY! The electronegativity values of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are compared in the table. Comparison of Elec
andriy [413]

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
