You need to list the elements but remember that fluorine has the highest electronegativity out of the entire periodic table
Answer:
MgSO4.7H2O
Explanation:
Let the formula for the hydrated magnesium sulphate be MgSO4.xH2O
Mass of the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 12.845g
Mass of anhydrous salt (MgSO4) = 6.273g
Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = Mass of the hydrated salt — Mass of anhydrous salt = 12.845 — 6.273 = 6.572g
Now,we can obtain the number of mole of water molecule present in the hydrated salt as follows:
Molar Mass of hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 24 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 + 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 + x(18) = 120 + 18x
Mass of xH2O/ Molar Mass of MgSO4.xH2O = Mass of water / mass of hydrated salt
18x/120 + 18x = 6.572/12.845
Cross multiply to express in linear form
18x x 12.845 = 6.572(120 + 18x)
231.21x = 788.64 + 118.296x
Collect like terms
231.21x — 118.296x = 788.64
112.914x = 788.64
Divide both side by 112.914
x = 788.64 /112.914
x = 7
Therefore the formula for the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) is MgSO4.7H2O
The answer is C. Salt and water is a solution
Answer:
The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.
Explanation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.
Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i
Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.
It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
Lower than 7 is acid greater than 7 is a base
