Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The question clearly stands on the concept of molarity and atomic weights.

The atomic weight of magnesium = 24.

The atomic weight of sulphur = 32.

The atomic weight of oxygen = 16.

The amount of magnesium present = 0.248 g

The amount of sulphur present = 0.665 g.

The amount of oxygen present = 1.31g.

So, moles of magnesium present = 0.01 moles.

Moles of sulphur present = 0.02 moles.

Moles of oxygen present = 0.08 moles.

So, mole ratio of the compound as magnesium : sulphur : oxygen = 1:2:8.

So the compound is Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.

What kind of intermolecular forces act between a sodium cation and an ammonia molecule? Note: If there is more than one type of

Reil [10]

Answer:

Ion-dipole forces

Explanation:

Na⁺ is a cation, that is, an ion with a positive charge.

NH₃ has polar covalent bonds (due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen). According to the VESPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal shape with a lone pair. As a consequence, it has a net dipole moment and the molecule is polar.

The intermolecular forces between Na⁺ (ion) and NH₃ (dipole) are ion-dipole forces.

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol ch3ch2oh in it reacts with oxygen gas o2 from the air to form water h2o and

lilavasa [31]

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction described above is,

C2H6O + O2 --> H2O + C2H4O2

If we have 3.84 g of oxygen, we divide by its molar mass.

n = (3.54 g Oxygen gas) x (1 mole O2/ 32 g O2)
n = 0.11 moles O2

Using ratio and proportion,

number of moles of ethanol = (0.11 moles O2) x (1 mole C2H6)
= 0.11 moles C2H6

Then, we multiply the calculated value to its molar mass, 46 grams /mol.
mass of ethanol = (0.11 mol) x (46 grams / mol)
= <em>5.06 grams</em>

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign shown below is $3.50 per square foot. How much, to the nearest dollar, will it co

KiRa [710]

The cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign is given as 3.50 dollar per square feet. The diameter of the traffic sign is 36 inch, then its radius will be $\frac{36}{2} = 18$ inches.

But as the cost is given in unit of feet, we have to convert the radius from inches to feet.

1 inches = 0.0833 feet

18 inches = 18 × 0.0833 feet

So, the radius of the traffic sign will be approximately equal to 1.5 feet.

The area of the traffic sign will be $\pi r^{2} = 3.14 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 = 7.065$ square feet.

So, if the cost of painting 1 square feet of traffic sign is 3.50 dollar, then

cost of painting 7.065 square feet of traffic sign = 3.50 × 7.065 = 24.7 dollar.

Thus, the cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

the particles that make up a rock are constantly in motion. However, a rock does not visibly vibrate. why do you think this is?

dybincka [34]

The particles are always in motion but not much and the particles are moving slower because said rock is a solid but if said rock was a gas the particles would move much faster and farther this is due to the gaining and loss of energy (i hope that makes sense)
