Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Sugar
(a) Dissolving in water
The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
2. Magnesium sulfate
(a) Dissolving in water
The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.
Y : CCP : 4 atoms
X : tetrahedral voids would be 1/3 × 8 = 8/3
so formula would be Y12X8 or Y3X2 !!
