What is the basic formula of a synthesis reaction?

It is abundantly clear that magnesium is in vast molar excess: i.e. $"Moles of metal"$ $=$ $(100*g)/(24.31*g*mol^-1)$ $~=$ $5*mol$ $"Moles of dioxygen"$ $=$ $(2.5*g)/(32.00*g*mol^-1)$ $~=$ $0.08*mol$ Clearly, $O_2$ is the...

...and more symbolically, $RCH_2CH_2OHstackrel(Delta)rarrRCH=CH_2 + H_2O$ The formation of water serves as a thermodynamic driving force to the reaction....

At school: from the reaction equation: if you have more than a substance on the left side and only one substance to the right, that is the representation of a...

Which of the following equations represents a synthesis reaction? A) $"CH"_4"+2O"_2$$rarr$$"CO"_2"+2H"_2"O"$ B) $"AgNO"_3"+NaCl"$$rarr$$"AgCl"+"NaCl"$ C) $"H"_2"O"_2$$rarr$$"H"_2"+O"_2"$ D) $"2Na"+"Cl"_2"$$rarr$$"2NaCl"$ E) $"Mg"+"2HCl"$$rarr$$"MgCl"_2"+H"_2$ Answer: D

The equation $2Hg+O_2->2HgO$ is under the form of: $"Element "+" Element"->Product$ which is the general form of a synthesis reaction. It is similar to $2H_2+O_2->2H_2O$ for the synthesis of water.

We can represent the oxidation so.......... $Mg(s) +1/2O_2(g) stackrel(Delta)rarrMgO(s)$ And thus combustion of one equiv magnesium metal, $24.3*g$, should lead to formation of approx. $40*g$ magnesium oxide. And thus the...

We conceive of $"oxidation"$ as the loss of electrons, and when an oxidation number, an imaginary number, or rather a conceptual number, goes up, this corresponds to the loss of...

And thus for this example $%"Yield"$ $=$ $(7.2*g)/(10*g)xx100%$ And we don't even need a calculator......... Most of the time, we write a stoichiometric equation, that shows the molar equivalence between...

These are mostly straightforward, except for one. $"Al"("NO"_3)_3$ is strongly acidic because $"Al"^(3+)$ is a Lewis acid. It has an empty $3p_z$ orbital that accepts electron , making it...

Both $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ contain hydroxides....and yet these are STRONG acids.... And an acid is typically the hydroxide of a non-metal, whereas a base is typically the hydroxide of a...
