If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?

I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.

Hope this helped!

If 13.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?

Paul [167]

6.349 g mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Molar mass MgSO₄.7 H₂O = 246.52 g/mol

$Moles =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}$
