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.

Answer:

Basically, all phosphates except Sodium phosphates, Potassium phosphates and Ammonium phosphates are insoluble in water. That, of course, includes Magnesium phosphate.

What is the mass of the block of iron illustrated below?

Mandarinka [93]

VOLUME= 5cm*10cm*2cm =100cm^3
but density of iron=7.874g/cm^3
mass=7.874g*100 =787.4g
mass of that block = 787.4g

Block A has a mass of 5g and a volume of 15mL. What is the density of block A? Will it float in water (density of water is 1.0 g

iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of block = 5 g

volume = 15 mL

The density of the block is

$density = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} \\ = 0.33333333...$

We have the final answer as

The block will float on water since it's density is less than that of water which is 1 g/mL

Hope this helps you

Given the values for C (2.5) and O (3.5), calculate the electronegativity difference in a carbon monoxide bond, CO

34kurt

Answer:

ΔEN CO = 1.0

Explanation:

To calculate the electronegativity difference, we have to substract the element which has the highest EN to the other, that has a low value.

For this case EN from O - EN from C

Electronegativity is a property of the periodic table that increases diagonally, where Fr and Rb are the elements of less EN while F is the most electronegative element, with a value of 4. This is because F is an element with a high ionization energy and a negative electronic affinity.

ΔEN CO = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1.0

Electronegativity (EN) describes the ability of an atom to compete for

electrons with other atoms to which it is attached.

Why can't the subscripts be changed?

zlopas [31]

Subscripts cannot be changed because they are the ratio of the amount. And as we know, in a chemical equation/reaction, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore, we cannot change subscripts, however, we could change coefficients. <span />
