Explanation:

The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.

Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.

Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.

For example, in $CaCl_{2}$ there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.

Therefore, $MgS$ denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.

Answer:

0.034M HCl is the concentration of the diluted solution

Explanation:

You take, initially, 25.00mL of the 0.136M HCl. Then, you dilute the solution to 100.00mL. The solution is diluted:

100.00mL / 25.00mL = 4. The solution was diluted 4 times.

That means the concentration of the diluted solution is:

0.136M / 4 =

<h3>0.034M HCl is the concentration of the diluted solution</h3>

Read the Safety Data Sheet of hydrogen peroxide to identify the recommended way to store this substance. Choose one:_______.

Lena [83]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

In a tightly closed container in a dry and well-ventilated place

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide should be store in a tight closed container and ventilated area because it is an oxidizing agent and it's has oxidizing characteristics. If to is exposed or the bottle lid is broken and exposed it can react and liberate oxygen and heat. It can react with the air and chemical it is exposed with. This will make it to be less effective and there will be a change in it's composition.

Complete Question

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

* $W=1142.86Joule$

* $Q=997.7J$

* $H=2140.5J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature $T=337K$

Pressure $P=(60-55)Pa*10^5$

Volume $V=(1.6-1.4)m^3*10^{-3}$

Generally the equation for gas Constant is mathematically given by

$\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}^n$

$\frac{55*10^5}{60*10^5}=\frac{1.4*10^{-3}}{1.6*10^{-3}}^n$

$n=0.65$

Therefore

Work-done

$W=\int{pdv}$

$W=\frac{55*10^5*1.6*10^{-3}*60*10^5*1.4*10^{-3}}{1-0.65}$

$W=1142.86Joule$

Generally the equation for internal energy is mathematically given by

$Q=mC_vdT\\\\Q=\frac{3*1*3.314*16}{1.4-1}$

$Q=997.7J$

Therefore

$H=Q+W$

$H=997.7J-11.42.9$

$H=2140.5J$

16 Which two gases can not be broken down by chemical means?(1) CO and He (3) Xe and He

lyudmila [28]

The answer is (2) CO and NH3. The chemical reaction can only break down chemical bonds between atoms inside the molecule. The He and Xe is consists of one atom only, so they can not be broken down by chemical means.
