It is an essential element for plant life, but when there is too much of it in water, itcan speed up eutrophication (a reduction in dissolved oxygen in water bodies caused by an increase of mineral and organic nutrients) of rivers and lakes. Soil erosion is a major contributor of phosphorus<span> to streams.

During an investigation a scientist burned 48 g of magnesium strip. After the reaction the total mass of the product formed was
ddd [48]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass applies to both cases

      When 50 g of sugar undergoes a physical change, say for example  melting, the amount of sugar in the solution or melted form will also be 50 grams. This shows that the mass before and after the change was the same, in accordance to the law of conservation of mass. The mass stays the same.

When the magnesium strip is burned, this is a chemical reaction. The problem is that we only measure the mass of one of the substances involved in the reaction which is the magnesium strip, which makes it seem like the mass has increased. Actually, while burning, the magnesium combines with oxygen in the air. This oxygen was present before the reaction, we just did not measure it. And after the reaction it is present in the form of product. But the mass is still conserved.

Hope this helps!!:)

A student is given a sample of a pure, white crystalline substance. Which of the following would be most useful in providing dat
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Testing the electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution of the substance is the correct option.

Explanation:

An ionic substance is defined as the substance formed due to transfer of electrons(s) from one atom to another of the combining species.

For example, when a metal and a non-metal chemical combines then an electron will always be transferred from the metal to the non-metal.

Hence, a metal and non-metal always form an ionic bond.

It is known that water is a polar substance and polar or ionic substances readily dissolve in it.

So, when an ionic compound is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into ions. And, as electricity is the flow of ions or electrons hence, an aqueous solution of ionic substance is able to conduct electricity.

But an ionic compound in crystal form will not be able to conduct electricity because then ions are not present in free state.

Thus, we can conclude that testing the electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution of the substance, would be most useful in providing data to determine if the substance is an ionic compound.
