Gaseous water molecules condense when they _______. Liquid water molecules evaporate when they _______.
ruslelena [56]

Answer : Gaseous water molecules condense when they cooled. Liquid water molecules evaporate when they heated.

Explanation :

Condensation : It is a process in which a phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state. This process occurs when the water molecules in the air cool down and they join together to form liquid water.

Evaporation : It is a process in which a phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state. This process occurs when the water is heated, the molecules in the water move and vibrate quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as water vapor.

Magnesium reacts with Oxygen gas forming Magnesium oxide as shown;
LuckyWell [14K]
Molar mass:

O2 = 16 x 2 = 32.0 g/mol              Mg = 24 g/mol

<span>2 Mg(s) + O2(g) --->2 MgO(s) 
</span>
2 x 24.0 g Mg -------------> 32 g O2
5.00 g Mg -----------------> ( mass of O2)

mass of O2 = 5.00 x 32 / 2 x 24.0

mass of O2 = 160 / 48

= 3.33 g of O2

hope this helps!

Write a balanced equation for rusting. (Assume rust becomes Fe+2)
Stells [14]

Answer:

4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3

Explanation:

The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 and is commonly known as ferric oxide or iron oxide. The final product is a series of chemical reactions simplified below as- The rusting of the iron formula is simply 4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3. The rusting process requires both the elements of oxygen and water.
