Answer:

The answer to your question is 64.02 g of H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Mass of magnesium sulfate hepta hydrated = 125 g

Mass of water = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the salt and the molar mass of water

molar mass of MgSO₄ 7H₂O = 24 + 32 + 64 + 14 + 112 = 246 g

mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of water in the epsom salt

                246 g MgSO₄ 7H₂O------------------------- 126 g of H₂O

                125 g                        -------------------------   x

                x = (125 x 126)/246

                x = 15750/246

               x = 64.02 g of H₂O

The addition of hydrochloric acid to a silver nitrate solution precipitates silver chloride according to the reaction:
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Enthalpy change for the reaction is -67716 J/mol.

Explanation:

Number of moles of AgNO_{3} in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of AgNO_{3}

= Number of moles of HCl in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of HCl

= \frac{0.100}{1000}\times 50.0 moles

= 0.00500 moles

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of AgNO_{3} reacts with 1 mol of HCl to form 1 mol of AgCl.

So, 0.00500 moles of AgNO_{3} react with 0.00500 moles of HCl to form 0.00500 moles of AgCl

Total volume of solution = (50.0+50.0) mL = 100.0 mL

So, mass of solution = (100.0\times 1.00) g = 100 g

Enthalpy change for the reaction = -(heat released during reaction)/(number of moles of AgCl formed)

= \frac{-m_{solution}\times C_{solution}\times \Delta T_{solution}}{0.00500mol}

= \frac{-100g\times 4.18\frac{J}{g.^{0}\textrm{C}}\times [24.21-23.40]^{0}\textrm{C}}{0.00500mol}

= -67716 J/mol

[m = mass, c = specific heat capacity, \Delta T = change in temperature and negative sign is included as it is an exothermic reaction]

explain why the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen gas molecule form nonpolar covalent bonds but oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water mo
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.

How does metal casting make use of the different characteristics of liquids and solid
Kitty [74]
Liquids Characteristics,<span> Liquid metal flows to fill the mold. As it cools, it solidifies. Once it is cool enough, it can be removed from the mold as a solid. The ability to flow is one characteristic that is different in solids than liquids. </span>
