Answer:from reffered dfn of %by mass

%by M=mass of component particular/total mass

But mass directly proportional to Molar mass

% by M=molar mass of H2O cpn/total M

%by M=7((1×2)+16)/(7((1×2)+16)+(24+(16×4)+32))

=0.573

Answer:

The percentage by mass of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 51.2 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Molar mass of MgSO4*7H2O = 246.5 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Molar massof MgSO4 = 120.37 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate % water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate

Since we have 7 molecules of water in the heptahydrate, we will divide the molar mass of 7 molecules water by the molar mass of the heptahydrate.

m%(H2O) = (7*18.02)/ 246.5

m%(H2O) = (126.14 /246.5)*100%

m%(H2O) = 51.2 %

To controle this we will calculate the mass % of MgSO4

m%(MgSO4) = (120.37/ 246.50)*100%

m%(MgSO4) = 48.8%

51.2 + 48.8 = 100%

The percentage by mass of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 51.2 %

4. Energy can be conserved by -

mart [117]

Energy can be conserved by efficient energy use.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy can be transferred from one form to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created. So it can be conserved if efficiently used. Thus efficient usage of energy lead to conservation of energy. Due to conservation of energy, the forces can be renewable and non-renewable.

So, we should know how the input energy can be completely converted to another form of energy leading to efficient usage of energy without any loss. As if there is no loss, input energy will be equal to output energy leading to 100% efficiency.

Which describes the composition of carbohydrates?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Carbohydrates (carbo- = “carbon”; hydrate = “water”) contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and only those elements with a few exceptions. The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrate molecules is 1:2:1.

How many molecules are contained in 0.800 mol o2?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Multiply .800 moles of O2 by Avagadro's number divided by 1 mole. This will get rid of the moles on the bottom and leave you with molecules. So technically .800 times 6.02x10^23.

Why are the oxidation and reduction half-reactions separated in an<br> electrochemical cell?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<h2>It makes the current viable enough to pass through an exterior wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells primarily comprise of two half-cells. These half-cells assist in isolating the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. These two reactions are linked by a wire which allows the current to move from one edge to the other. The oxidation at the anode and the reduction take place at the cathode and the addition of a salt bridge helps in completing the circuit and permits the current to flow and leads to the generation of electricity.
