An 82.0 g sample of hydrated magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is heated to constant mass of 40.1 grams. What is the formula for the hyd

Answer:

MgSO4.7H2O

Explanation:

The heating removes all the water (H2O) in the crystal.

The mass of the water removed = 82-40.1 = 41.9 grams.

The formula of the hydrated salt = MgSO4. xH2O

The ratio in of the masses of MgSO4 : H2O =  40.1 : 41.9

Dividing these by the molar masses we get

40.1/ 120.4 to  41.9 / 18.016

= 0.33 : 2.33

= 1 : 7.

So there are 7 water molecules n the hydrate.

2. a local wind that blows during the day from an ocean toward land is a(n) sea breeze.
3. The increase in cooling that wind can cause is called the wind-chill factor.
4. Temperature differences between the equator and poles produce convection currents.
A movement that is parallel to Earth's Surface is called wind and a local wind is that wind that blows over a short distance.</span>

Why a dipole develops in a molecule
Debora [2.8K]

Explanation:

When the covalent bonds in a molecule are polarized so that one portion of the molecule experiences a positive charge and the other portion of the molecule experiences a negative charge. This separation of opposite charges creates an electric dipole.

The basic building blocks of a protein are
snow_lady [41]


The building  blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks  from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH  group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH-  is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.
