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

A compound is 21.6% Mg, 21.4% C, and 57.0% O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

nignag [31]

Answer:

Compound x = $MgC_{2}O_{4}$

Explanation:

Let the compound be x

Assuming we have a 100g of compound x

Given the following data;

Magnesium, Mg = 21.6% = 21.6g

Carbon, C = 21.4% = 21.4g

Oxygen, O = 57.0% = 57.0g

Now, we would find the amount of moles for each element.

Atomic mass of Mg = 24.30g

Atomic mass of C = 12.01g

Atomic mass of O = 16.00g

Amount of moles for Mg;

21.6*(1/24.30) = 0.89mol

Amount of moles for C;

21.4*(1/12.01) = 1.78mol

Amount of moles for O;

57.0*(1/16.00) = 3.56mol

We then divide by the smallest to find the ratio;

0.89/0.89 = 1 Mol of Mg

1.78/0.89 = 2 Mol of C

3.56/0.89 = 4 Mol of O

Therefore, the ratio of Mg, C and O is 1:2:4.

Compound x = $MgC_{2}O_{4}$

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound is $MgC_{2}O_{4}$

Calculate the concentration of acetic acid, HAc, and acetate ion, Ac−, in a 0.25M acetate buffer solution with pH = 5.36. "0.25M

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

[HAc] = 0.05M

[Ac⁻] = 0.20M

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch formula for the acetic acid buffer is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [Ac⁻] / [HAc]

Replacing:

5.36 = 4.76 + log₁₀ [Ac⁻] / [HAc]

3.981 = [Ac⁻] / [HAc] (1)

Also, as total concentration of buffer is 0.25M it is possible to write:

0.25M = [Ac⁻] + [HAc] (2)

Replacing (2) in (1)

3.981 = 0.25M - [HAc] / [HAc]

3.981 [HAc] = 0.25M - [HAc]

4.981 [HAc] = 0.25M

[HAc] = 0.05M

Replacing this value in (2):

0.25M = [Ac⁻] + 0.05M

[Ac⁻] = 0.20M

I hope it helps!

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide.

Leni [432]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

C. 3Mg + Al2O3 → 3MgO + 2Al

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another.
Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is

Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al
