Answer : When magnesium salts combine with the alkaline water it induces precipitation of solid $Mg(OH)_2$ .

Explanation :

Chemical change : The chemical change occurs when a substance combine with the another substance to form a new substance.

It can not be easily reversible.

The new product is formed or precipitate may be formed.

Physical change : The physical change occurs when a substance combine with the another substance then no new compound is formed.

It can be reversible.

No new product is formed only changes occurs in the state or phase.

As per question, when magnesium salts combine with the alkaline water it induces precipitation of solid $Mg(OH)_2$ .

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Mg^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)$

That mean a new compound is formed by this reaction. So, the chemical change occurred in this reaction.

What would happen to the solvent if a reaction was refluxed without a condenser

True [87]

Answer:

Solvent will be lost as gas and not return into the vessel via condensation.

Explanation:

Reflux is a technique used in chemistry to boil a particular solvent and convert the gas formed back into liquid by condensation. This technique allows a solvent to be heated at a regulated temperature but for a prolonged period of time than it would normally take place.

The reflux procedure makes use of a reflux CONDENSER, which is an apparatus that allows vapour from the heating/boiling to flow back into the reaction vessel. The CONDENSER functions to prevent the loss of the SOLVENT as vapour by providing a cooling effect on the vapour.

Therefore, if a reaction was refluxed without a condenser, THE SOLVENT WILL BE LOST AS VAPOUR

What results when equal but opposite charges are present in two regions of a polar molecule? A. dipole B. ionic bond C. Electron

Masteriza [31]

Answer: A. dipole

Explanation:

Dipole can be defined as the separation of the equal and opposite charges present in the molecule via ionic bonding. The water molecule comprising of two molecules of hydrogen being positively charged and one molecule of oxygen being negatively charged are connected via ionic bonding thus water molecule is an example of dipole molecule. There is unequal distribution of the electrical density throughout the molecule.

A gram of gasoline produces 45 kJ of energy when burned. Gasoline has a density of 0.77 g/mL. How would you calculate the amount

BigorU [14]

The energy produced in the burning of gasoline = 45 kJ/g. So, amount of energy produced by burning 48 L gasoline = 45 kJ/g×36960 g = 1663200 kJ.
