You know that the air around you is full of nitrogen, yet your garden regularly shows signs that it could use a little of it. How can you harness some of the nitrogen for your garden?
In experiment 11, at some point of the heating you will add 15-20 drops of water to the cooled contents. Why?Choose the best option:
To cool the crucible faster
To remove hydrogen gas from magnesium
To remove oxygen gas from magnesium
To incresase the mass of the crucible so that balance can weigh it precisely
To prevent magnesium nitride formation by removing reacted nitrogen in the air from the crucible'.
Looking up one snowy afternoon from a book titled The Moral Case Against Turning Lead Into Gold (Or Vice Versa), your friend Maria (an expert chemist) says
this:
"Metal sulfides roasted with oxygen produce the corresponding oxide and sulfur dioxide gas."
Using Maria's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction.
Be sure your chemical equation is balanced!
