8 0

Answer:

See below.  

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Method 1: </em>

You know that oxygen is a <em>non-metal. </em>

If the compound is ionic, the oxygen must be combined with a <em>metal</em>.

The Mg must be a metal.

<em>Method 2:</em>

In the formulas of ionic compounds, the positive ion (usually a metal) is written first.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>

What is Gay lussac's law​
k0ka [10]

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when the volume is kept constant. Mathematically, it can be written as: {\displaystyle {\frac {P}{T}}=k}. It is a special case of the ideal gas law.

What is the minimum pressure in kPa that must be applied at 25 °C to obtain pure water by reverse osmosis from water that is 0.1
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Temperature = 25°C

Molarity of sodium chloride = 0.163 M

Molarity of magnesium sulfate = 0.019 M

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate osmotic pressure

The formula for the osmotic pressure =

Π=MRT.

⇒ with M = the total molarity of all of the particles in the solution.

 ⇒ R = gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 25 °C = 298 K

NaCl→ Na+ + Cl-

MgSO4 → Mg^2+ + SO4^2-

M = 2(0.163) + 2(0.019 M)

M = 0.364 M

Π = (0.364 M)(0.08206 atm-L/mol-K)(25 + 273 K)

Π = 8.90 atm

(8.90 atm)(101.325 kPa/atm) = 901.79 kPa

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa
