What does an -ite or -ate ending in a polyatomic ion mean?

Water ionizes by the equation h2o(l)⇌h+(aq)+oh−(aq) the extent of the reaction is small in pure water and dilute aqueous solutions. this reaction creates the following relationship between [h+] and [oh−]: kw=[h+][oh−] keep in mind that, like all equilibrium constants, the value of kw changes with temperature.

Which of the following is true for the actual yield of a reaction? it is always calculated as a ratio. it is the yield from the excess reactant. it is the yield from the limiting reactant. it is always less than the theoretical yield.

Inside a flashbulb, oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium. when the flashbulb is set off, a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above? a. mg + o2 mgo2 + energy b. 2mg + o mg2o + energy c. 2mg + o2 2mgo + energy d. mg + o mgo + energy
