Hey can someone please help me with this

This is not a redox reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a reaction that involves reduction and oxidation processes. The best way to identify a redox reaction. Changes in the oxidation number f the species indicates that it is a redox reaction.

Na+

Reactant side = +1, Product Side = +1; No change

Cl-

Reactant side = -1, Product Side = -1; No change

Ag+

Reactant side = +1, Product Side = +1; No change

N

Reactant side = +5, Product Side = +5; No change

O

Reactant side = -2, Product Side = -2; No change

There is no change in any of the oxidation numbers, Hence this is not a redox reaction.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"
