Answer:
Disagree with the suggestion based on the hygroscopic nature of anhydrous magnesium sulfate
Explanation:
Magnesium sulfate in the anhydrous form is a drying agent. A drying agent salts of inorganic compounds that has the capability of absorbing water to become hydrated, when placed in the presence of a wet surface or moist air
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is therefore hygroscopic such that it absorbs water from the atmosphere and becomes hydrated and increases in size as its volume is increased according to the following chemical equation
MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(l) → MgSO₄·7H₂O(s)
The molar mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate = 120.366 g/mol
The molar mass of the heptahydrate = 246.47 g/mol
Therefore, the mass of the magnesium sulfate doubles when it forms the heptahydrate, and the magnesium sulfate grows bigger.
Example 1: FOREST FIRES
September 24, 2015 - Forest Fire in Indonesia continue to cause smog and haze (Atmosphere) across the region, with air pollutants reaching hazardous levels overnight in Singapore.
The poor air quality shift in wind direction transporting smoke and haze from land and forest (Biosphere) fires in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Their District continues to lead in the number of active fire alerts, with 423 hotspots (Lithosphere) in the last week.
The particulate matter in the air falls out, smothering plants, enriching the soil and thereby moving towards seas, rivers (Hydrosphere) and other water forms that can endangered human's health.
Example 2: DROUGHT
April 8, 2016- Swathes of corn stand withered on the parched rolling hills near the farming town in the Southern Philippines, while shallow cracks scar were once fertile rice paddies. (Biosphere)
El Nino is wreaking havoc in agriculture-rich Cotabato province.
That the villagers are in difficult situation of nothing else to eat. After a lot of incident happened, one of the villagers complained back pain and headache after the rough sleeping of several days.
Unfortunately, he died due to heat stroke of the recent changes in temperature due to Global Warming. (Atmosphere) The animals have nothing to feed the fields are dry making the soil (Geosphere / Lithosphere) less fertile for plants.
The farmers experienced scarce of water (Hydrosphere), crop failures and starving, land drying livestock as well as shortage of potable water.
Explanation:
Thomson model compared the structure of the atom with a watermelon in which the red portion signifies the positive charge and the electrons which are negatively charged are embedded in this portion as seeds are embedded in the watermelon.
<u>The structure was not able to explain the stability of the atom and also the Rutherford experiment which is:</u>
Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:
- Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
- Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
- A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.
He concluded that:
Most of space of atom is empty and in center of atom , there is solid mass which is cause of alpha particles to come back. He gave term nucleus to this solid mass.
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates. Although glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula they have different structures. They cannot be further hydrolyzed to simple sugars. Disaccharides contains two monosaccharides. For example, lactose and sucrose. Polysaccharides on the other hand contains a large number of saccharides. An example is starch, glycogen and dextrans. Amino acids contains an amino acid, carboxyl group and an R-group. Whatever the diagram you have, you just look at the structures contained.
