Inside a flashbulb, oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium. when the flashbulb is set off, a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above? a. mg + o2 mgo2 + energy b. 2mg + o mg2o + energy c. 2mg + o2 2mgo + energy d. mg + o mgo + energy

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

In what way do investigations build scientific knowledge? the results of investigations lead to questions that cannot be tested. they reflect the opinions and social values of scientists, ensuring valid information. the results of investigations lead to new questions, which lead to new investigations. they are not influenced by the research of earlier scientists, so they are able to address gaps in understanding.i
