Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. if you dont get enough magnesium in your body then you could get magnesium deficiency. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. Extreme magnesium deficiency can cause numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, personality changes, and an abnormal heart rhythm. The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg for adults depending on age and gender. Sources of magnesium are greens, nuts, seeds, dry beans, whole grains and low-fat dairy products.

random facts:

A magnesium ion is present in the chlorophyll molecule of every living green plant.

Magnesium is critically important for the human metabolic system's functioning.

You decided to prepare a phosphate buffer from solid sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2H
KIM [24]

Answer:

For disodium hydrogen phosphate:

5.32g Na2HPO4

For sodium dihydrogen phosphate:

7.65g Na2HPO4

Explanation:

First, you have to put all the data from the problem that you going to use:

-NaH2PO4 (weak acid)

-Na2HPO4 (a weak base)

-Volume = 1L

-Buffer pH = 7.00

-Concentration of [NaH2PO4 + Na2HPO4] = 0.100 M

What we need to find the pKa of the weak acid, in this case NaH2PO4, for that you need to find the Ka (acid constant) of NaH2PO4, and for this we use the pKa of the phosphoric acid as follow:

H3PO4 = H2PO4 + H+    pKa1 = 2.14

H2PO4 = HPO4 + H+       pKa2 = 6.86

HPO4 = PO4 + H+      pKa3 = 12.4

So, for the preparation of buffer, you need to use the pKa that is near to the value of the pH that you want, so the choice will be:

pKa2= 6.86

Now we going to use the Henderson Hasselbalch equation for the pH of a buffer solution:

pH = pKa2 + log [(NaH2PO4)/(Na2HPO4)]

The solution of the problem is attached to this answer.

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

Determine which of these properties would distinguish these two substances: (a) boiling point; (b) combustion analysis results;
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) boiling point

(d) density at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. They differ in chemical and physical properties depending on the type of isomerism displayed by the compounds.

The compounds stated here are structural or constitutional isomers hence they possess different boiling points and densities at a given temperature and pressure owing to structural differences in the molecules.

Since they have the same molecular formula, they must yield the same result during combustion analysis and they must have the same molecular weight.
