Just ignore such kind of people....
I believe the correct response is A. At higher elevations it would take less time to hard boil an egg, because there is less atmospheric pressure.
Answer:
a) 7.0.
b) Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.
c) 280.83 g/mol.
d) 44.9%.
Explanation:
<u><em>a) What is the formula of the hydrate?</em></u>
The mass of the hydrated sample (NiSO₄.xH₂O) = 5.0 g,
The mass of the anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = 2.755 g,
The mass of water = 5.0 g - 2.755 g = 2.245 g.
∴ no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass = (2.245 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 0.1247 mol.
∴ no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = mass/molar mass = (2.755 g)/(154.75 g/mol) = 0.0178 mol.
∴ water of crystallization in the sample (x) = no. of moles of water/no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = (0.1247 mol)/(0.0178 mol) = 7.0.
<u><em>b) What is the full chemical name for the hydrate?</em></u>
The name of the salt (NiSO₄.7H₂O) is Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.
<u><em>c) What is the molar mass of the hydrate? </em></u>
(NiSO₄.7H₂O)
The molar mass = molar mass of NiSO₄ + 7(molar mass of H₂O) = (154.75 g/mol) + 7(18.0 g/mol) = 280.83 g/mol.
<em><u>d) What is the mass % of water in the hydrate?</u></em>
The mass % of water = (mass of water)/(mass of hydrated sample) x 100 = (2.245 g)/(5.0 g) x 100 = 44.9%.
Answer:
The attractive force is negative and MgO has a higher melting point
Explanation:
From Couloumb's law:
Energy of interaction, E = k 
where q1 and q2 are the charges of the ions, k is Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between both ions, i.e the atomic radii of the ions.
If you look at Coulomb's law, you note that in the force is negative (because q1 is negative while q2 is positive).
In addition to that, the compounds MgO and NaF have similar combined ionic radii, then we can determine the melting point trend from the amount of energy gotten
The melting point of ionic compounds is determined by 1. charge on the ions 2. size of ions. while NaF has smaller charges (+1 and -1), MgO (+2 and -2) has larger charges and greater combined atomic radii. This implies that the compound with greater force would have a higher melting point.
Hence the compound MgO would have a higher melting point than NaF.
