On the first day of your new job as a chemist, you are given a bottle of magnesium sulfate and asked to make 30 mL of 0.3 M MgSO

4. The formula on the bottle is MgSO4∗7H2O (also known as Epsom salt). Calculate the amount of salt you need (in milligrams).

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

What aspect of metallic bonding is responsible for malleability ductility and conductivity of metals?
ANTONII [103]
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.

After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating

Explanation:

a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.

This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.

Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.

c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.

It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.

d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.

Here the error is small.

e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.

Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.
