In the compound mgo magnesium has an oxidation number of blank?
+2 for Mg -2 for O
Mg-O bond in MgO?
Double bond Mg=O
Is MgO a atom or molecule?
well Mg is an element ( I Magnesium) and O is oxygen hence MgO is definitely a molecule not an atom ...
What is the chemical formula for Magnesium Oxide?
the final formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
What is the mass of magnesium oxide when you burn 4 grams of magnesium?
Mg grams -> (use Mg's molar mass) -> Mg moles -> (use ratio of moles - use balanced equation) -> MgO moles -> (use MgO's molar mass) -> grams MgO set up the equation: Mg + O2 --> MgO (we know the product is MgO and not MgO2 because magnesium has a charge of 2+ while oxygen has a charge or 2-) balance the equation: 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO Molar mass of Mg: 24.31 g/mol Molar mass of MgO: 44.30 g/mol (add the molar mass of Magnesium - 24.31g/mol and the molar mass of Oxygen - 15.99g/mol together) (use periodic table to find these) 7.0 grams of Mg To find the moles of Magnesium you use the molar mass of Mg. (7.0 g Mg)*(1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg) =0.2879 moles Mg notice how the grams cancel to leave you with moles - remember dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal Now use the balanced equation's coefficients and the moles of Mg to determine the number of moles of MgO present. 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO 2 moles Mg : 2 moles MgO -> divide both sides by 2 and it obviously becomes a 'one to one' ratio. This means that the number of moles of Mg is equal to the number of moles of MgO. This means that there are 0.2879 moles of MgO. Now that we know MgO's molar mass and the number of moles of MgO we have, the grams of MgO produced can be determined. (0.2879 moles MgO)*(44.30 g MgO / 1 mol MgO) = 12.75 grams MgO
How many different elements are in the compound MgO?
2! Mg and O
In the compound mgo magnesium has an oxidation number of blank?
+2 for Mg -2 for O
Is MgO a element?
No, magnesium oxide is a compound made of the elements magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O).
Mg-O bond in MgO?
Double bond Mg=O
Is oxygen and magnesium and ionic compound?
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
What is the chemical equation for Magnesium Oxide with Hydrogen?
"MgO" is magnesium oxide and "H" is hydrogen, as in "Mg + H(2)O => MgO + H(2)" MgO + H2 ---> H2O + Mg
Symbol equation for magnesium oxide?
Mg + O ----> MgO
Is MgO a ionic compound?
No. MgO is a compound called magnesium oxide. It is composed of two elements: magnesium and oxygen.Hint: if the chemical formula contains more than one capital latter than the substance is not an element.
Is MgO a atom or molecule?
well Mg is an element ( I Magnesium) and O is oxygen hence MgO is definitely a molecule not an atom ...
When combining magnessium and oxygen what is the correct formula and compound name?
The cation,Mg 2+andthe anion,O 2-combine to form,MgO------------------magnesium oxide
What are the oxidation numbers of the elements found in MgO?
+2 for Mg and -2 for O
What is Lewis formula for MgO?
the Lewis formula for MgO is Mg2+[O]2- Which mean Mg loses 2 electrons and O gains 2 electrons to be stable.
