Answer:
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

Explanation:
We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:
acids: these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
neutral: these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
alkalies: these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

Hope this helps :)

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 122g of MgSO4 n 3.5L of solution?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

0.29mol/L or 0.29moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgSO₄ = 122g

Volume of solution = 3.5L

Molarity is simply the concentration of substances in a solution.

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

>>>>To calculate the Molarity of MgSO₄ we find the number of moles using the mass of MgSO₄ given.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of MgSO₄:

Atomic masses: Mg = 24g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of MgSO₄ = [24 + 32 + (16x4)]g/mol

= (24 + 32 + 64)g/mol

= 120g/mol

Number of moles = 122/120 = 1.02mol

>>>> From the given number of moles we can evaluate the Molarity using this equation:

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

Molarity of MgSO₄ = 1.02mol/3.5L

= 0.29mol/L

IL = 1dm³

The Molarity of MgSO₄ = 0.29moldm⁻³

Which electrophiles can react with an enol?

dlinn [17]

THE MOLECULE HAS A C=C AND AN -OH GROUP, SO IT IS CALLED AN ENE/OL, I.E., AN ENOL. ENOLS CAN BE FORMED ONLY FROM CARBONYL COMPOUNDS WHICH HAVE ALPHA HYDROGENS. THEY CAN BE FORMED BY ACID OR BASE CATALYSIS, AND ONCE FORMED ARE HIGHLY REACTIVE TOWARD ELECTROPHILES, LIKE BROMINE.

A solution is made by dissolving

barxatty [35]

Answer:

4.52 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of lithium fluoride = 22.1 g

Mass of water = 188 g

Molality = ?

Solution:

Molality:

It is the number of moles of solute into kilogram of solvent.

Formula:

Molality = number of moles of solute / kilogram solvent

Mathematical expression:

m = n/kg

Now we will convert the grams of LiF into moles.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 22.1 g/ 26 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.85 mol

Now we will convert the g of water into kg.

Mass of water = 188 g× 1kg/1000 g = 0.188 kg

Now we will put the values in formula.

m = 0.85 mol / 0.188 kg

m = 4.52 mol/kg
