The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. In times of flood, the salt content of the Dead Sea can drop from its usual 35% to 30% or lower.
Answer:
Explanation:
exothermic reactions involve release of heat whereas endothermic reaction involve absorption of heat.
You just switch them around
Answer:
The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.
Explanation:
We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution
C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol
But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.
So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.
Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is
Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg
