Answer:

The answer to your question is  MgSO₄ 5H₂O

Explanation:

Data

mass of MgSO₄ = 2.86 g

mass of H₂O = 2.14 g (5 - 2.86)

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the compounds

MgSO₄ = 24 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 120

H₂O = 16 + 2 = 18

2.- Convert the grams obtain to moles

                        120 g of MgSO₄  --------------- 1 mol

                         2.8 g                  ----------------  x

                         x = (2.8 x 1)/120

                        x = 0.024 moles

                         18 g of H₂O --------------------- 1 mol

                         2.14 g           -------------------- x

                         x = (2.14 x 1)/18

                         x = 0.119

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

MgSO₄  = 0.024/0.024 = 1

H₂O = 0.119/ 0.024 = 5

4.- Write the molecular formula

                   MgSO₄5H₂O

Given the mass of the reactants add up to 49 grams, what is the total mass of the products
valina [46]

If the total mass of the reactants is 49g then the mass of the products also equals 49g.

It is due to the law of conservation of mass.

Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Explain the oxygen cycle. I’m in the 6th grade I need a answer please
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Oxygen cycle, along with the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle plays an essential role in the existence of life on the earth. The oxygen cycle is a biological process which helps in maintaining the oxygen level by moving through three main spheres of the earth which are:

  • Atmosphere
  • Lithosphere
  • Biosphere

Explanation:

The atmosphere is the layer of gases presents above the earth’s surface. The sum of Earth’s ecosystems makes a biosphere. Lithosphere is the solid outer section along with the earth’s crust and it is the largest reservoir of oxygen.

5.) A spring with a spring constant of 500 n/m is stretched 1 meter in
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

250J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Spring constant  = 500N/m

Extension  = 1m

Unknown:

Elastic potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The elastic potential energy of a body is the energy stored within an elastic string.

  EPE  = \frac{1}{2} k e²

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

 Now;

      EPE  =  \frac{1}{2}  x 500 x 1²   = 250J
