Answer: $MgSO_4.7H_2O$

Explanation:

$MgSO_4$ is an ionic compound because aluminium element is a metal and hydrogen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written in case of $SO_4^{2-}$ is '-ate'.

Hence, the name of $MgSO_4$ is magnesium sulphate.

The water of crystallization is written as hydrate with the number of water molecules. As the name is heptahydrate, that means 7 water molecules are present.

Therefore, the correct answer is $MgSO_4.7H_2O$

Answer: Molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}$

${\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}$

$Molarity=1.96mol/L$

Thus molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

Which statement accurately describes the charge of the nucleus of an atom? (2 points) The nucleus can be either positively charg

Andrew [12]

Atoms are fundamental constituents of all matter. The following statement is correct. The nucleus always has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains sub-atomic particles called protons. Each proton carries a single positive charge. The nucleus is also home to sub-atomic particles called neutrons that do not possess a charge.
