C. 6 Valence electrons. Remember that the family that they are in will determine the number of valence electrons that element will have. Sulfur is in family 16 so it will have 6 Valence electrons.

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.

What controls flowering in many<br> plants?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All flowering is regulated by the integration of environmental cues into an internal sequence of processes. These processes regulate the ability of plant organs to produce and respond to an array of signals. The numerous regulatory switches permit precise control over the time of flowering.

Answer:

We also need the nitrogen intake

Explanation:

The nitrogen balance is the difference between the nitrogen intake and nitrogen excreted. If this calculation is positive, the body grow; if it is negative, the body is decreased.
