Answer:

The answer to your question is 15500 mg of MgSO₄ 7H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Volume = 30 ml

Concentration = 0.3 M

Formula MgSO4∗7H2O

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles needed

 Molarity = moles / volume

Solve for moles

 moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

 moles = 0.3 x 0.03 l

 moles = 0.009 moles of MgSO₄

2.- Calculate the molecular mass of MgSO4∗7H2O

molecular mass = 24 + 32 + 64 + 14 + 112

                           = 246 g

3.- Get the proportion MgSO4 :7H2O, this proportion is 1 : 7

4.- Calculate the amount of MgSO4∗7H2O

    0.009 mol of MgSO4 \frac{7 MgSO4 7H2O}{1 mol MgSO4} \frac{246 g MgSO4 7H2O}{1 mol MgSO4 7H2O}

Simplification

   15.5 g = 15500 mg

a scientist uses 68 grams of CaCo3 to prepare 1.5 liters of solution. what is the molarity of this solution?
victus00 [196]

Answer: 0.4533mol/L

Explanation:

Molar Mass of CaCO3 = 40+12+(16x3) = 40+12+48 = 100g/mol

68g of CaCO3 dissolves in 1.5L of solution.

Xg of CaCO3 will dissolve in 1L i.e

Xg of CaCO3 = 68/1.5 = 45.33g/L

Molarity = Mass conc.(g/L) / molar Mass

Molarity = 45.33/100 = 0.4533mol/L

PLEAZE HELP!!!
Alla [95]

Answer:

V= 12mL

Explanation:

you had the right idea with your Significant figures however, when we divide we see that it requires 2 significant figures as our least amount. this is because when looking at our division, 62 has 2 sig. fig. while 5.35 has a total 3. when looking at your answer we see that you had a total of 3 sig. figures. so in actuakity you had to round up to 12 and not to the tenths because the decimal makes .6 count as your third sig fig.

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by thefollowing endothermic reaction.C(s) + H2O (g) <==> CO(g
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s) + H_2O (g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g) + H_2(g)

Given that reaction is an endothermic reaction.

For the given options:

a)Adding more C

If the concentration of C that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of C takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction to wards the formation of hydrogen gas.

b) Adding more H_2O

If the concentration of water that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of water  takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

c) Raising the temperature  of the reaction mixture

If the temperature is increased,heat of the equilibrium mixture will also increase so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in heat that is decrease in temperature occurs.

As, this is an endothermic reaction, forward reaction will decrease the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

d) Increasing the volume  of reaction mixture

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the product side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

e) Adding a catalyst  to reaction mixture

Role of catalyst is to attain the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the state of equilibrium. Hence, addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.  

f) Adding an inert gas to reaction mixture

Adding inert gas to the mixture at constant volume will not effect the equilibrium. Hence, addition of an inert gas will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.
