By crushing the salt, you are performing a physical change because you aren't altering the chemical makeup of the salt, just the physical form. Hope this helps! :)
Initial concentration of magnesium nitrate M1 = 2.13 M
Initial volume of magnesium nitrate, MgNO3 V1 = 1.24 L
Final concentration of MgNO3, M2 = 1.60 M
Let the final volume of MgNO3 upon dilution be V2
Formula to use:
M1*V1 = M2*V2
V2 = M1*V1/M2
= 2.13 M * 1.24 L/1.60 M = 1.65 L
Thus, the final volume of magnesium nitrate solution upon dilution is 1.65 L
Answer:
Calcium is then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum breaking the link between actin and myosin.
Explanation:
Actin and myosin return to their unbound state causing the muscle to relax. Alternatively relaxation (failure) will also occur when ATP is no longer available.
