Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Almost \ all \ phosphates \ are \ insoluble}}$

Explanation:

For magnesium phosphate to make an aqueous solution, it must be soluble in water.

Let's check the solubility rules. There are many different lists and versions, but it should mention a rule about phosphates.

All phosphates are insoluble except Na₃PO4 (sodium phosphate), K₃PO4 (potassium phosphate), and H₁₂N₃PO₄ (ammonium phosphate).

Magnesium phosphate is included in "all phosphates" so it is insoluble and can't become an aqueous solution.

Day and night is due to the earth rotating. Seasons are due to the earth rotating on a slightly tilted axis, causing light to be shone on different parts of the earth more directly during different parts of the year. Constellations changing throughout the night are because of the earth moving and rotating. Throughout the year, the earth moves, causing us to be facing different directions in different parts of the year. The North Star does't move because it is close to Earth's line of axis, and therefore does not appear to move.

Amy is asked to determine the chemical composition of an unknown liquid sample. She determines that the sample is negative for p

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Amy can apply the Tyndall Beam effect ,by shining a beam of light through the sample solution.

Explanation:

The chemical test for starch is add iodine solution to the tested sample which is yellow/brown and observe the color change to blue/black color. However, the physical test to distinguish simple sugars from starch is the shine a beam of light through the sample solution. Because that sample solution contained no simple sugars, then the presence of starch in the solution will be indicated by dispersal of light because the large starch molecules are enough to affect the light.

Which of the following is the requirement for the intramolecular Sn2 reaction (intramolecular William Ether Synthesis) to occur

balandron [24]

Answer:

D. Anti-periplanar

Explanation:

In the second step of the intramolecular William Ether Synthesis mechanism (figure 1) we will have the attack of the negative charge of the oxygen to the carbon bond to the Br. At the same time the Br leaves, so a bond would be broken (the C-Br bond) and a bond would be formed (the C-O bond).

Now, this process can happen only if the attack and the leaving group has an anti configuration (figure 2). In an anti configuration the nucleophile and the leaving group would have opposite directions.
