Well, both magnesium and barium are $"alkaline earths...."$, the which give dications upon oxidation....

...from Group 2 of . And given Group 2, there are TWO , which are readily oxidized to give dications…

And so $Mg(s) + 1/2O_2(g) rarrunderbrace(MgO)_(Mg^(2+) + O^(2-))$

And likewise...

$Ba(s) + Cl_2(g) rarrunderbrace(BaCl_2)_(Ba^(2+) +2xxCl^-)$

Magnesium reacts with titanium(4) chloride to produce magnesium chloride and titanium metal. How do you write a balanced equation for this reaction?

Because the magnesium ion has a +2 charge, the formula for magnesium chloride is $MgCl_2$. To balance the four Cl ions in titanium (IV) chloride, the reaction must produce 2...

I did a Magnesium Oxide Lab.Magnesium often reacts with nitrogen in the air. If some of the magnesium had reacted with the nitrogen, would it make the % composition of ur sample higher or lower than it should be? Explain (Hint-Try a sample calculation).

Okay, so you've performed the classic magnesium oxide lab. I assume that you have your data, so I'll just walk you through this from a theoretical standpoint. So, you...

In the gravimetric analysis of magnesium, when combusted to magnesium oxide, why should care be taken to collect all of the magnesium oxide is retained by the crucible?

.....the following reaction occurs. $Mg(s) + 1/2O_2(g) rarr MgO(s)+Delta$ The magnesium oxide is a finely divided white solid, and CAN be lost during the exothermic combustion reaction. Nevertheless, given complete...

Magnesium chloride has an atomic mass of 94 amu. What is the mass of one mole of magnesium chloride?

If $1$ particle of $MgCl_2$ has a mass of $"94 amu"$, then $1$ mole of $MgCl_2$ will have a mass of $"94 g"$. It might seem weirdly convenient that...

A mixture of magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide of mass $12.46*g$ underwent fierce heating. After heating, there were $8.43*g$ of salt remaining. What were the masses of magnesium carbonate, and magnesium oxide in the original sample?

$MgCO_3(s)+DeltararrMgO(s) + CO_2(g)$ And we would have to heat the magnesium salt VERY fiercely to get complete decarboxylation. $"Moles of carbon dioxide LOST"$ $=$ $(4.40*g)/(44.01*g*mol^-1)$ $=0.010*mol$ And therefore in...

If $0.276*mol$ silver chloride was collected from a reaction between silver nitrate and magnesium chloride, how many equiv magnesium nitrate were used?

And how do we know? Well, if we write the stoichiometric equation we have illustrated the : $2AgNO_3(aq) + MgCl_2(aq) rarr Mg(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2AgCl(s)darr$ Alternatively, we could write the net...

Magnesium will burn in oxygen to form magnesium oxide as represented by the following equation 2Mg(s) + O2(g) -> 2MgO(s) What mass of magnesium will react with 498.1 ml of oxygen at 145.2 degrees Celsius and 0.927 atm?

We use the Ideal Gas Equation to access the molar quantity of dioxygen gas............ $n=(PV)/(RT)=(0.927*atmxx0.4981*L)/(0.0821*(L*atm)/(K*mol)xx418.4*K)=1.34xx10^-2*mol$. Given the stoichiometric equation.......... $Mg(s) + O_2(g) rarr MgO(s)$ There are $1.34xx10^-2*molxx24.31*g*mol^-1=??*g$ metal required for...
