Answer: Law of conservation of mass explains these observations.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

Mass of reactants= mass of Mg+ mass of O_2  = 48 g + 32 g = 80 g

Mass of products = mass of MgO = 80 g

Thus mass of reactants is equal to mass of products, thus law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

The standard enthalpy of formation of Ca2+ (g) (∆H = 1934 kJ/mol)
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The process of ionization to produce cations is endothermic. For formation of Ca⁺² two ionization steps need be illustrated as follows...

1st ionization step: Ca° + 590Kj => Ca⁺ + e⁻

2nd ionization step: Ca⁺ + 1151Kj => Ca⁺² + e⁻

__________________________________-

Net Ionization Rxn: Ca° + 1741Kj => Ca⁺² + 2e⁻

The p-value of a statistical test depends on all of the following, except:
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is e.

Explanation:

p-value is the probability value for a given statistical model, the probability that, when the null hypothesis is true.

For two two samples the formula of test statistics is

t=\frac{(\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}

where,

\overline{x} is sample mean

\mu is population mean.

s is standard deviation.

n is sample size.

Variance is the square of standard deviation.

It means variance, mean, numbers of samples is used in calculation of p-value.

Degree of freedom define the shape of the t-distribution that your t-test uses to calculate the p-value.

d.f.=n_1+n_2-2

p-value of a statistical test depends on all of the following, except median.

Therefore the correct option is e.

What are the charges of families 1, 2, & 13 (boron family) if/when they become Ions
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group one elements are alkali metals. All alkali metal have one valance electron. They loses their one valance electron and from cation with charge of +1.

Charges on group one.

Hydrogen = +1

Lithium = +1

Sodium = +1

Potassium = +1

Rubidium = +1

Cesium = +1

Francium = +1

Group two elements are alkaline earth metals. All alkaline earth metal have two valance electron. They loses their two valance electron and from cation with charge of +2.

Charges on group two.

Beryllium = +2

Magnesium = +2

Calcium = +2

Strontium = +2

Barium= +2

Radium = +2

Group 13 elements are boron family. All elements have three valance electrons. They loses their three valance electron and from cation with charge of +3.

Charges on group 13.

Boron = +3

Aluminium = +3

Gallium = +3

Indium = +3

Thallium= +3

Group 13 elements are also shows +1 charge by losing one valance electron.

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!
