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 %

Using full detail, describe the theory of plate tectonics.
yuradex [85]
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth's lithosphere. Plates at our planet’s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth’s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From left to right, the oxides across period 3;

i) Period 3 oxides all appear white in colour. They are all crystalline solids and their melting points decrease from left to right.

ii) The volatility of period 3 oxides increases from left to right across the periodic table

iii) The metallic oxides on the right hand side adopt giant ionic structures. Silicon oxide which is in the middle of the period forms a giant covalent structure. Oxides of other elements towards the right hand side form molecular oxide structures.

iv) The acidity of oxides of period 3 increases from left to right. Metals on the left hand side form basic oxides while non-metals on the right hand side form acidic oxides. The oxide of aluminium in the middle is amphoteric.

v) The oxides of period 3 elements do not conduct electricity. However, the metallic oxides on the lefthand side conduct electricity in molten state. The non-metallic oxides on the right hand side are molecular hence they do not conduct electricity under any circumstance.
