Answer:

Formula is NA2SO4•10H2O

Sodium sulfate decahydrate.

Explanation:

Sodium sulfate is soluble in water. Soduim sulphare form various hydrates, so if the solution is open to the atmosphere for a week at least a lot of the water will have evaporated leaving behind a solid hydrate of Soduim sulfate.

Mass of anhydrous Na2SO4 = molar mass * number of moles

Molar mass = (23*2) + (32*1) + (16*4)

= 146 g/mol

Mass = 146*1

= 146 g of NA2SO4

NA2SO4•nH2O --> Na2SO4 + nH2O

Molar mass of hydrate, NA2SO4.nH2O

= (142 + 18n) g/mol

Mass of NA2SO4.nH2O = (142 + 18n)*1

= (142 + 18n) g

Mass of the residue = 322.2 g

Therefore, 142 + 18n = 322.2

18n = 180.2

n = 10

Formula is NA2SO4•10H2O

Sodium sulfate decahydrate.

0.0588 mol MgSO4 / 0.0588 = 1 mol MgSO4

0.412 mol H2O / 0.0588 = 7 mol H2O

Formula is MgSO4•7H2O

Lysol Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner contains 9.5% hydrochloric acid. Explain why this would be necessary to clean toilet bowls that
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The acid will absolutely remove the hard water deposits that are trapping the stains. The longer it soaks, the less you have to scrub. It works for hard water stains, limescale, and rust!

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds?
marin [14]
I would say water; water is extremely polar, and this is why it can break one of the strongest bonds, ionic bonds. NaCl, as you probably know, is a salt, and dissolves in water. However, the ionic bond holding the Na+ and the Cl- is extremely strong; the boiling point of NaCl is at 1413 degrees celcius (water is at 100 degrees celcius). This means that it requires A LOT of energy to break the bond, but water is able to dissolve and break the bond very easily. It is very polar, so I would answer your question with water. And the bond connecting the H and the O is a covalent bond.

True of false metals like copper are sometimes used to fill cavities in teeth
ElenaW [278]
I'd say false because copper is what they used to drink out of in the middle ages, and it caused them to get very sick, so I doubt they would use copper in your mouth.
