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 %

Determine the molar mass of CuSO4 (the solute) in a 1.0M aqueous solution of CuSO4
inna [77]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we could have two possible solutions:

A) If you are asking for the molar mass, you should use the atomic mass of each element forming the compound, that is copper, sulfur and four times oxygen, so you can compute it as shown below:

M_{CuSO_4}=m_{Cu}+m_{S}+4*m_{O}=63.546 g/mol+32.00g/mol+4*16.00g/mol\\\\M_{CuSO_4}=159.546g/mol

That is the mass of copper (II) sulfate contained in 1 mol of substance.

B) On the other hand, if you need to compute the moles, forming a 1.0-M solution of copper (II) sulfate, you need the volume of the solution in litres as an additional data considering the formula of molarity:

M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

So you can solve for the moles of the solute:

n_{solute}=M*V_{solution}

Nonetheless, we do not know the volume of the solution, so the moles of copper (II) sulfate could not be determined. Anyway, for an assumed volume of 1.5 L of solution, we could obtain:

n_{solute}=1mol/L*1.5L=1.5mol

But this is just a supposition.

Regards.

nekit [7.7K]

From,

RAM=element×its relative abudance/total abudance

=((107×13)+(12×109))/25

The answer is=107.96

Wich describes a characteristic of terminal moraine
stealth61 [152]
I found this....

Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.
