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 %

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Baking soda

Explanation:

Due to its neutralizing properties, sodium bicarbonate can be used to counteract the acid corrosion of car batteries. To use baking soda, in this case, be sure to disconnect the battery terminals before cleaning. Make a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water and apply with a damp cloth to rub the corrosion of the battery terminal. After cleaning and reconnecting the terminals, clean them with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion.

When salt is dissolved in water, what happens to the water
choli [55]

Answer:

<em>When salt is dissolved in water</em>, many physical properties change, among them the so called colligative properties:

  • The vapor pressure of water decreases,
  • The boiling point increases,
  • The freezing point decreases, and
  • Osmotic pressure appears.

Explanation:

Colligative properties are the physical properties of the solvents whose change is determined by the number of particles (moles or ions) of the solute added.

The colligative properties are: vapor pressure, boiling point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure.

<u>Vapor pressure</u>:

The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a lquid over its surface, in a closed vessel.

The vapor pressure increases when a solute is added, because the presence of the solute causes less solvent molecules to be near the surface ready to escape to the vapor phase, which means that the vapor pressure is lower.

<u>Boiling point</u>:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. Since we have seen that the vapor pressure of water decreases when a solute occupies part of the surface, now more temperature will be required for the water molecules reach the atmospheric pressure. So, the boiling point increases when salt is dissolved in water.

<u>Freezing point</u>:

The freezing point is the temperarute at which the vapor pressure of the liquid and the solid are equal. Since, the vapor pressure of water with salt is lower than that of the pure water, the vapor pressure of the liquid and solid with salt will be equal at a lower temperature. Hence, the freezing point is lower (decreases).

<u>Osmotic pressure</u>:

Osmotic pressure is the additional pressure that must be exerted over a solution to make that the vapor pressure of the solvent in the solution equals the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. This additional pressure is proportional to the concentration of the solute: the higher the salt concentration the higher the osmotic pressure.
