Answer:

Disagree with the suggestion based on the hygroscopic nature of anhydrous magnesium sulfate

Explanation:

Magnesium sulfate in the anhydrous form is a drying agent. A drying agent salts of inorganic compounds that has the capability of absorbing water to become hydrated, when placed in the presence of a wet surface or moist air

Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is therefore hygroscopic such that it absorbs water from the atmosphere and becomes hydrated and increases in size as its volume is increased according to the following chemical equation

MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(l) → MgSO₄·7H₂O(s)

The molar mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate = 120.366 g/mol

The molar mass of the heptahydrate = 246.47 g/mol

Therefore, the mass of the magnesium sulfate doubles when it forms the heptahydrate, and the magnesium sulfate grows bigger.

An asteroid hit the Yucatán Peninsula about 65 million years ago,
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.

9. At equilibrium a 2 L vessel contains 0.360
klio [65]

Answer:

Ke = 34570.707

Explanation:

  • H2(g) + Br2(g) → 2 HBr(g)

equilibrium constant (Ke):

⇒ Ke = [HBr]² / [Br2] [H2]

∴ [HBr] = (37.0 mol) / (2 L) = 18.5 mol/L

∴ [Br2] = (0.110 mol) / (2 L) = 0.055 mol/L

∴ [H2] = (0.360 mol) / (2 L) = 0.18 mol/L

⇒ Ke = (18.5 mol/L)² / (0.055 mol/L)(0.18 mol/L)

⇒ Ke = 34570.707

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles​
grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles
