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 $MgSO_4.7H_2O$

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA

Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.
