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

TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again‚ we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that. ISSAC NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION Newton’s law explains why planets move the way they do‚ and how gravity works‚ both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the

Contrary to many people’s thoughts about seasons‚ summer is not due to the Earth being closer to the sun and vice versa for winter (these differences are extremely small). The Earth moves around the sun anti-clockwise in an elliptical orbit‚ with one revolution representing a year (365.256 days). To complete the orbit‚ Earth travels at an approximate speed of 67‚000 miles an hour. While we are orbiting around the Sun‚ we are also rotating around an imaginary axis of the earth‚ with one revolution

To solve a system of equations by addition or subtraction (or elimination)‚ you must eliminate one of the variables so that you could solve for one of the variables. First‚ in this equation‚ you must look for a way to eliminate a variable (line the equations up vertically and look to see if there are any numbers that are equal to each other). If there is lets say a –2y on the top equation and a –2y on the bottom equation you could subtract them and they would eliminate themselves by equaling zero

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

Accounting Equations Paper ACC/300 Nakisha Susberry University of Phoenix Student 4/20/2013 The accounting equation is a formula that represents the relationship between the assets‚ liabilities‚ and owner ’s equity of a small business. Businesses use this to basically show what it owns what it owes and what its investors are investing. In order to understand these concepts it is important to have some knowledge of what is meant by each of the three basic components mentioned. “Assets
