Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question 2: Write the balanced equation for the following

Rational Equations Rational equations can be used to get a general idea about the rate at which a job can be completed. This can be really useful for business owners and other areas of daily life. Here is an example: Scenario: Sue can paint the garage in 4 hours and Joe has carpal tunnel so he is slower and can paint the same garage in 6 hours. How long (number of hours) will it take Sue and Joe to paint the garage if they work together? Solution: Sue can paint of the garage in 1 hour. Joe

The reason why the Drake Equation is not a successful science is because it would be impossible to calculate some of the elements in the equation. The elements would take too long to get an accurate sample to give a scientifically sound explanation. For instance how would you calculate fi (the fraction of intelligent life forms)‚ how do you define intelligent? Is intelligent like you and I‚ is it like a bird or a rat‚ could it be a plant? There is no way to truly determine what counts and doesn’t

of operations is a rule to clarify confusion that may occur in an equation that has multiple different operations. This rule of Order of Operations states we must solve a complex equation by complete the operations in this order: Parenthesis‚ Exponents‚ Multiplication‚ Division‚ Addition‚ and Subtraction. We can remember this by this mnemonic: Pink‚ Eyes‚ May‚ Doubt‚ Anyone’s‚ Style. *** This will happen if we take this equation and NOT follow the Order of Operation*** 4+ 2 x 3 = If I did not

The sun by definition is the star that is "the central body of the solar system‚ around which the planets revolve and from which they receive light and heat." This self-luminous star is not only the largest object in the solar system containing 99.8 percent of the total mass but is also a fundamental necessity to every human and living thing’s life. The position of the in relationship to the sun‚ Earth determines the time of the year or season. The problem states "assume that at this time of
