Answer:

Explanation:

Public tap water is not desirable when carrying out experiments in the laboratory.

The chemical definition of water is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen. Any violation simply desist from the true meaning of water.

Why are tap water not used:

They contain other dissolved ions like chlorine which have been added in their treatment. This alters the fundamental molecules that is expected to be seen in water. Water of this nature can affect experimental results seriously.
Tap water can become a mixture instead of a simple compound. A mixture is a combination of several compounds. Such water will have a varied composition and make simplification of experiments very difficult.

Ok so I have 3 beakers of clear liquid each holding a different substance, Water, Magnesium Sulphate and Sodium Carbonate how ca

nataly862011 [7]

For water you could add oil..ex: cooking oil separates form water because water is heavier than oil.

For Magnesium Sulfate you could add Sodium Carbonate..ex: Sodium Carb reacts to Mg Sulfate adding a darker hue to the liquid and adding a lot of bubbles.

For Sodium Carbonate you could add Sulfuric Acid..ex: Sulfuric Acid would add a reaction to the Sodium Carb that would resembling water boiling

The daily value for phosphorus is a 700 mg how many grams of phosphorus are recommended

-BARSIC- [3]

The amount of grams of phosphorus that are recommended is 0.700 g

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. To convert between units we use conversion factors. In this case the conversion factor we want is from mg to g, and this is relatively simple: 1000 mg = 1 g. Now, we arrange the quantities in the following way:

$700 mg P*\frac{1g}{1000mg}=0.700 g$

Conversion factors are really useful for converting units! Just remember to put the unit you don't want at the bottom, and the one you want at the top.

Have a nice day!
