A hydrate is a compound that has water molecules within its crystal structure. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4·7H2O, is a

hydrated form of magnesium sulfate. The hydrated compound has 7 moles of H2O for each mole of MgSO4. When 5.06 grams of MgSO4·7H2O are heated to at least 300.oC in a crucible by using a laboratory burner, the water molecules are released. The sample was heated repeatedly, until the remaining MgSO4 had a constant mass of 2.47 grams. During this laboratory activity, appropriate safety equipment was used and safety procedures were followed.Explain why the sample in the crucible was heated repeatedly until the sample had a constant mass.

Answer:

We are heating the sample repeatedly to become a pure compound of only MgSO4 (withot H2O) and a constant mass.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MgSO4·7H2O = 5.06 grams

The remaining MgSO4 had a constant mass of 2.47 grams.

Step 2: Explain why the sample in the crucible was heated repeatedly until the sample had a constant mass.

Before heating the compound has magnesium sulfate and water.

The total mass of this compound is 5.06 grams

By heating we try to eliminate the water.

After heating there remain mgSO4 with a mass of 2.47 grams

This means 5.06 - 2.47 = 2.59 grams is water. All of this is eliminated.

The heating process happens repeatedly to make sure the final compound is pure. So the 2.47 grams os only MgSO4. If the mass would not be constant. It means the compound is not pure, the not all the water is eliminated yet.

So we are heating the sample repeatedly to become a pure compound of only MgSO4 (withot H2O) and a constant mass.

The solubility of KClO3(s) in water increases as the
algol [13]
<span>Answer: option (1) solubility of the solution increases.
</span><span />

<span>Justification:
</span><span />

<span>The solubility of substances in a given solvent is temperature dependent.
</span><span />

<span>The most common behavior of the solubility of salts in water is that the solubiilty increases as the temperature increase.
</span><span />

<span>To predict with certainty the solubility at different temperatures you need the product solubility constants (Kps), which is a constant of equlibrium of the dissolution of a ionic compound slightly soluble in water, or a chart (usually experimental chart) showing the solubilities at different temperatures.
</span><span />

<span>KClO₃ is a highly soluble in water, so you do not work with Kps.
</span><span />

<span>You need the solubility chart or just assume that it has the normal behavior of the most common salts. You might know from ordinary experience that you can dissolve more sodium chloride (table salt) in water when the water is hot. That is the same with KClO₃.


</span><span>The solubility chart of KlO₃ is almost a straight line (slightly curved upward), with positive slope (ascending from left to right) meaning that the higher the temperature the more the amount of salt that can be dissolved.</span>

What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.
