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

Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine (H2NNH2) with subsequent addition of
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Reduced, alkane

Explanation:

Wolf-Kishner reaction is a type of reduction reaction in which aldehydes and ketones are reduced to their corresponding alkane in the presence of a base.

This reaction occurs at high temperature.

Alkane formed has a same number of carbon as aldehyde and ketone.

If acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction in the presence of base and heat, then ethane is formed. Nitrogen is formed as a byproduct.

Here, acetaldehyde is reduced to form ethane.

So, acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine  with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is reduced, resulting in alkane product.

Using the equation 2H2+O2=2H2O, when 47g of water are produced, how many grams of hydrogen must react?
Fed [463]

See , from the equation we can see that for forming two mole of H2O 2Mole of H2 has to react.

Mass of 2 Mole H2O is 18*2gm or 36gm.

So for forming 36 gm H2O 2×2 I.e. 4 gm H2 has to take part in reaction.

Therefore, to form 1 gm H2O 4÷36 gm of H2 has to take part.

So, for forming 47gm H2O (4÷36)×47 gm H2 has to take part

I.e. 5.22 gm of H2 has to take part

So, ans is 5.22 gm of hydrogen.

Hope it helps!!!

chlorine has 7 outer energy level electrons and argon has 8. what is the difference in the reactivity of these two elements?
Lunna [17]
Chlorine is more reactive than argon, because argon is not reactive at all. Chlorine only has to gain 1 valence electron
