A sample of hydrated magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)

Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

Answer:

MgSO4.7H2O

Explanation:

Let the formula for the hydrated magnesium sulphate be MgSO4.xH2O

Mass of the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 12.845g

Mass of anhydrous salt (MgSO4) = 6.273g

Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = Mass of the hydrated salt — Mass of anhydrous salt = 12.845 — 6.273 = 6.572g

Now,we can obtain the number of mole of water molecule present in the hydrated salt as follows:

Molar Mass of hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 24 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 + 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 + x(18) = 120 + 18x

Mass of xH2O/ Molar Mass of MgSO4.xH2O = Mass of water / mass of hydrated salt

18x/120 + 18x = 6.572/12.845

Cross multiply to express in linear form

18x x 12.845 = 6.572(120 + 18x)

231.21x = 788.64 + 118.296x

Collect like terms

231.21x — 118.296x = 788.64

112.914x = 788.64

Divide both side by 112.914

x = 788.64 /112.914

x = 7

Therefore the formula for the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) is MgSO4.7H2O

MFe: 56 g/mol
..........

56g ----- 1 mol
5g ------- X
X = 5/56 = 0,089 moles of Fe

56g ----- 6,02×10²³ atoms
5g ------- X
X = (5×6,02×10²³)/56
X = 0,5375×10²³ = 5,375×10²² atoms of Fe

The chemical force for which of the following ions is directed into the cell? The chemical force for which of the following ions
Over [174]

Answer:

Both sodium and calcium.

Explanation:

The membrane potential is maintained inside and outside of the cell due to the unequal distribution of the different ions. This membrane potential difference is important for the generation of action potential.

The resting membrane potential is around +30 mV. This is due to the presence of potassium ions. The sodium and calcium ions must enter in the cell to change this membrane potential and generates the action potential in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

A balloon filled with 1.92 g of helium has a volume of 12.5 L. What is the balloon’s volume after 0.850 g of helium has leaked o
Marizza181 [45]

The answer is 1.56L. Avogadro's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (or a number of particles) of gas when the temperature and pressure are held constant.

V∝n

V₁/n₁m= V₂/n₂

V₁ = initial volume of gas  = 12.5 L

V₂ = final volume of gas = ?

n₁ = initial moles of gas  = 0.016 mole

n₂ = final moles of gas  = 0.016-0.007 = 0.002 mole

V₁/n₁m= V₂/n₂

V₂= 1.56L

Avogadro's Law is in evidence whenever you blow up a balloon. The volume of the balloon increases as you add moles of gas to the balloon by blowing it up.

What is the difference between pH and pOH?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

pH measures ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions of substances

pOH measures ratio of OH- ions to H+ ions of substances

Explanation:

pH is a scale which measures the ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions to identify how acidic or basic a substance is. This is because acidic substances have high amounts of H+ ions and low amounts of OH- ions, and therefore have a higher ratio of H+ to OH- ions. (And vice versa for bases, low H+ to OH- ratio) On a pH scale, acidic substances have a pH of 0 to 7, water (neutral pH, not acidic nor basic) has a pH of 7, and bases have a pH of 7-14.

pOH is very similar to pH but measures the opposite: the ratio of OH- ions (indicative of a base) to H+ ions (indicative of an acid). Therefore the pH values are reversed on the scale: Basic substances have pOHs below 7, and acidic substances are above 7 on the pOH scale.

Fundamentally, these two scales measure the same thing is the same way, one just measures the ratio one way (H+:OH-), while the other measured them the other way (OH-:H+), resulting in flipped values on the scales:

pH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

      <---Acidic--->   <------Basic------->

pOH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

         <----Basic---->  <-----Acidic------->

Hope this helped!
