Answer:

“Magma” is exclusively found and formed beneath the earth’s surface. Once magma is on or above the surface of the earth it is referred to as “lava.” Magma is typically formed by extreme temperature melting solid rock within the earth. Pressure and rock composition can also affect magma formation. High pressure can help magma be “squeezed” from partially molten rock. Likewise, as rocks are usually composed of different minerals with different melting points, magma formation from rocks is usually only partial and uneven.

Magma can also be created when hot, liquid rock intrudes into Earth's cold crust. As the liquid rock solidifies, it loses its heat to the surrounding crust. Much like hot fudge being poured over cold ice cream, this transfer of heat is able to melt the surrounding rock (the “ice cream”) into magma. Hope this helps

How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions

omeli [17]

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$

$Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V$

The substance having highest positive reduction $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Reduction : cathode

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$ ..[1]

Oxidation: anode

$Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V$ ..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V$

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-$

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)$

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

When sulfur burns, it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2). Its chemical reaction is S + O2 → SO2.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2.

Explanation:

This can be explained by the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>. This law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Knowing this, we can say that the reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal to the products.

In this case, the reactants Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2) must equal the mass of the product Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Therefore, the statement <em>"The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2" </em>is correct.

HCI + NaOH --> NaCl + H 20

Vikki [24]

Answer:

option D is correct

Explanation:

no of moles in 3 grams of HCL=3/36=0.08

if 1 mole of HCL require 1 mole of NaOH then 0.08 moles required 0.08 moles of NaOH

mass of 0.08 moles of NaOH=moles*molar mass=0.08*40=3.2 grams

so 3 grams are required in the reaction
