Digiron [165]2 years ago
3 0
That’s because when a charged chemical species composes of two or more atoms (covalently bonded), they act as a single unit. the term radicals refers to free radicals that are with an unpaired electron and because not all of its electrons are found in pairs

KatRina [158]

Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, MnO_2 will be less heavy than KMnO_4.

An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 g when filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.53 g/cm3). What i its volu
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Volume of vial= 9.626cm3

b) Mass of vial with water = 62.92 g

Explanation:

a) Mass of empty vial = 55.32 g

Mass of Vial + Hg = 185.56 g

Therefore,

mass\ of\ Hg = 185.56-55.32 = 130.24 g

Density of Hg = 13.53 g/cm3

Volume\ of\ vial = Volume\ of\ Hg = \frac{Mass}{Density} \\\\= \frac{130.24g}{13.53g/cm3} = 9.626 cm3

b) Volume of water = volume of vial = 9.626 cm3

Density of water = 0.997 g/cm3

Mass\ of\ water = Density*volume = 0.997g/cm3*9.626cm3=9.60 g\\\\Total\ Mass\ of\ vial = Empty\ vial + mass\ of\ water\\= 53.32+9.60= 62.92g
