Because it moves around to much and its unstable

Because when you compress something, you compress an object to either tighten or get it smaller.
Since liquids have no shape of their own, you cannot squeeze or squish it to tighten/get it smaller.

Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate may be heated to drive off the water of hydration. If 5 g of water are produced, what was the o

____ [38]

Answer:

13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuSO4•5H2O → CuSO4 + 5H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O heated and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below

Molar mass of CuSO4• 5H2O = 63.5 + 32 + (16x4) + 5(2x1 + 16)

= 63.5 + 32 + 64 + 5(18) = 249.5g/mol

Mass of CuSO4•5H2O from the balanced equation = 1 x 249.5 = 249.5g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 5 x 18 = 90g

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Now, we can determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O needed to produce 5g of H2O. This can be achieved as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Therefore, Xg of CuSO4•5H2O will produce 5g of H2O i.e

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = (249.5 x 5)/90

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = 13.9g

Therefore, 13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O is needed to produce 5g of H2O.

How many moles of MgO are produced when .250 mol of Mg reacts completely with O2

nignag [31]

Answer:

0.250 moles of MgO are produced when 0.250 mol of Mg reacts completely with O₂

Explanation:

In first place, the balanced reaction between Mg and O₂ is:

2 Mg + O₂ ⇒ 2 MgO

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactants and products participate in the reaction:

Mg: 2 moles
O₂: 1 mole
MgO: 2 moles

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of Mg produce 2 moles of MgO, 0.250 moles of Mg, how many moles of MgO will they form?

$moles of MgO=\frac{0.250 moles of Mg*2 moles of MgO}{2 moles of Mg}$

moles of MgO= 0.250

0.250 moles of MgO are produced when 0.250 mol of Mg reacts completely with O₂

Which option is an element A: carbon dioxide B: Water C: Air D: Carbon

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

D: Carbon

Explanation:

The periodic table lists all the known elements. When looking at it, the only choice you will find is carbon. Therefore, carbon is the element.

Carbon is also by itself, just C.

Water is H2O, which is a molecule due to the 2 different elements.

Carbon Dioxide is CO2, which is a molecule due to the 2 different elements.

Air is just a mixture of different gas molecules, so therefore it is not an element.
