Hello!

The initial mass of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is 23,08 g

The chemical reaction for the dehydrating of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is the following:

MgSO₄·7H₂O(s) + Δ → MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

We know that the sample loses 11,80 g upon heating. That mass is the mass of Water that is released as vapor. Knowing that piece of information, we can apply the following conversion factor to go from the mass of water to the moles of water and back to the mass of the original compound (mi).

mi=11,80gH_2O* \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18gH_2O}* \frac{1molMgSO_4.7H_2O}{7molH_2O}* \frac{246,47 g MgSO_4.7H_2O}{1 mol MgSO_4.7H_2O}  \\  \\ mi=23,08gMgSO_4.7H_2O

Have a nice day!

Calculate the ph of a 0.25M solution of monochloroacetic acid at 25 c
Phoenix [80]
<h3>Answer: <em>pH=2.25 </em></h3>

Explanation:

monochloroacetic acid  also means: chloroacetic acid

pKa of monochloroacetic acid= 1.4 x 10^-3  (I believe this should have been given in the problem or perhaps in the textbook)

Formula: pH= pKa + log ( some number in M)

pH= -log (1.4 x 10^-3) + log (0.25M)= 2.85 + -0.602= 2.25

pH= 2.25

f)7.51

b)3.9

g)9.2

c)3.1

h)41.9

d)1.959

i)0.29

e)5.2

j)1.112

Explanation:

When you are multiplying or dividing the numbers you take the least amount of significant figures and that's how many significant figures your answer will be. Instead of being a super long answer. Hope this helps. Also, sorry it took me a hot minute :)

1st Define Covalent bond and it's type
irakobra [83]

Answer:

  1. COVELENT BOND:-The chemical bond formed by the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms so that both the atoms get their octet complete is called covalent bond
  • SINGLE COVELENT BOND:-it is formed by sharing of one pair of electron between two atoms
  • DOUBLE COVELENT BOND:-it is formed by sharing of two pair of electron between two atoms
  • TRIPLE COVELENT BOND:- it us formed by sharing of three pair of electron beyween two atoms

2)Electron dot structures of carbon dioxide:-Oxygen atom contains 6 valence electrons which form 2 lone pairs. Since it is bonded to only one carbon atom, it must form a double bond. Carbon atom contains four valence electrons, resulting in zero lone pairs. Therefore, it is doubly bonded to each oxygen atom.

3))Sulfur has an atomic number is 16 with the

symbol as 'S'

  • The electronic configuration of sulfur is said to be 2,8,6
  • The valence electrons present in sulfur is 6.
  • Sulfur forms an octet structure by connecting 8 sulfur atoms with each other by the formation of single covalent bonds.
  • The sulfur molecule's chemical formula is S8.
  • Sulfur is usually used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
