this question makes me goes nuts...so the question is
oxide M is green
Metal M is grey
Oxide M can be reduced to metal M when heated with hydrogen
c)The empirical formula of oxide M cannot be determined by heating oxide M with magnesium. Explain why?
  

Top answer

The following question makes me nuts: M is a grey metal; an oxide of M is green. When the oxide of M is heated in the presence of hydrogen, it is reduced to metallic form. Can you explain why the empirical formula of the oxide of M cannot be determined by heating the oxide of M with hydrogen?

  • The following question makes me nuts: M is a grey metal; an oxide of M is green.
  • When the oxide of M is heated in the presence of hydrogen, it is reduced to metallic form.
  • Can you explain why the empirical formula of the oxide of M cannot be determined by heating the oxide of M with hydrogen?
  • A couple of notes.
  • I think there's an error in your transcription -- the heating would be done with hydrogen, not magnesium.
