Answer: The mass of blue copper sulfate is 3.5 g

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The chemical equation for the heating of copper sulfate crystals is:

Let the mass of blue copper sulfate be 'x' grams

We are given:

Mass of copper sulfate powder = 2.1 grams

Mass of water = 1.4 grams

Total mass on reactant side = x

Total mass on product side = (2.1 + 1.4) g

So, by applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

Hence, the mass of blue copper sulfate is 3.5 grams

Selah is making a mobile of an atom of beryllium to hang from the ceiling in her science class. She uses a clear plastic bag for
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the images of the models are absent. However, i will try to give you a general description of what the correct answer should be.

Beryllium is a member of group 2 in the periodic table. Beryllium has an atomic number of 4. This implies that it has four protons in its nucleus and four electrons in its shells. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons on the shells is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

The electronic configuration of Beryllium is 1s2 2s2. This implies that it should have two shells each containing only two electrons each.

Since we are using white foam balls for protons and black foam balls for neutrons, the clear plastic will contain four white foam balls and five  black foam balls since the mass number of beryllium is 9 and number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.

Four blue foam balls hanging from strings will represent the electrons around the nucleus.

Any model that corresponds to the description above is the correct answer.
