How is burning magnesium different than burning methane

Chemistry

You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.

Explanation:

To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:

2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat

CH₄ (g) + 2  O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat

However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)

So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.

we have used the following notations:

(s) - solid

(g) - gas

(l) - liquid

What happens to the rate of dissolution as the temperature is increased in a gas solution?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The rate decreases

Explanation:

When we dissolve a gas in a water, the process is exothermic. This implies that heat is evolved upon dissolution of a gas in water.

Recall from Le Chateliers principle that for exothermic reactions, an increase in temperature favours the reverse reaction. The implication of these is that when the temperature of the gas is increased, less gas will dissolve in water.

Hence increase in temperature decreases the rate of solubility of a gas in water.

The difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is the structural and functional unit of an organism which is capable of existing alone as it contains organelles that perform specific functions.

The plant cell is covered by a rigid cell wall which contains cellulose as its outer covering.

The animal cell contains not cellulose cell wall at its out covering but instead it is covered by a cell membrane.

Therefore, the difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane.
