solid magnesium cannot flow, but liquid magnesium can. Explain why. (3)

2NaNO3 --> 2NaNO2 + O2. When a sample of solid sodium nitrate was heated 96cm3 of gas was collected, calculate the mass of NaNO3 Decomposed

In a titration, 45.0 cm^(3) of 0.100 mol dm^(-3) sodium hydroxide solution is exactly neutralised by 40.0 cm^(3) of a dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution in mol dm^(-3).

How can you increase the yield of product from a reaction?

Iron is found in the Earth as iron oxide (Fe2O3). Iron oxide is reduced to produce iron. Balance the equation for the reaction. _Fe2O3 + _C → _Fe + _ CO2
