Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter b Sulphur

Explanation:

Remember that in neutral molecules the sum of the oxidation numbers equals zero.

Mg⁺²S⁺⁶O⁻²₄

Magnesium = +2

Sulphur = +6

Oxygen = -2 x 4 = -8

Which statements are true about reversible reactions?

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Reversible reactions exhibit the same reaction rate for forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium.

Reversible reactions exhibit constant concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is a reaction that can proceed in both forward and backward direction.

Equilibrium is attained in a chemical system when there is no observable change in the properties of the system.

At equilibrium, a reversible reaction is occurring in at same rate. That is, the forward and backward reaction is occurring at the same rate. As the rate of the forward and backward reaction remains the same, the concentrations of the reactants and products will also be the same in order for the equilibrium to be maintained.

When 2.69 g 2.69 g of a nonelectrolyte solute is dissolved in water to make 345 mL 345 mL of solution at 26 °C, 26 °C, the solut

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The molar concentration of this solution is 0.0463 mol/L

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of a nonelectrolyte solute = 2.69 grams

Volume of water = 345 mL = 0.345 L

Temperature = 26.0°CC = 273 + 26 = 299 K

The osmotic pressure = 863 torr

⇒ 863torr /760 = 1.13553 atm

Step 2: Calculate the molar concentration of this solution

Π = i*M*R*T

⇒with Π = the osmotic pressure = 1.13553 atm

⇒with i = the van't Hoff factor of the nonelectrolyte solute = 1

⇒with M = the molar concentration = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 299 K

1.13553 atm = 1 * M * 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K * 299 K

M = 1.13553 / (0.08206*299)

M = 0.0463 mol/L

The molar concentration of this solution is 0.0463 mol/L

A solid rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 grams sank in water. A hollow rubber ball with the same mass floats in water. Explain why

Stells [14]

Answer:

The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.

Explanation:

The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.

An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.
