Answers to wave questions:
1) trough - lowest point of the wave.
2) crest - highest point of wave.
3) amplitude - distance from rest position to the crest or thoughs.
4) wavelenght - distance from two consecutive crest or troughs.
5) rest position - the flat line running through middle of the wave.
Epsom salt is MgSO4.
We assume x water of hydration in the crystalline form.
Molecular mass of MgSO4 = 24+32+4*16=120
Molecular mass of MgSO4.xH2O = 120+18x
By proportion,
2.000/0.977 = (120+18x)/120
Cross multiply
0.977(120+18x) = 120*2.000
from which we solve for x
17.586x+117.24 = 240
x=122.78/17.586
=6.980
Answer: there are 7 water of hydration in Epsom salt, according to the experiment.
Note: more accurate (proper) results may be obtained by using exact values (3-4 significant figures) in the molecular masses. However, since water of hydration is the nearest integer, using approximate values (to at least two significant figures) suffice.
Answer:
Carbon < Lithium < Beryllium < Oxygen < Fluorine
Explanation:
Hey there!
The more energy a substance is, the more movement it has.
The energy of a substance determines its state of matter.
From least to most energy, it goes solid, liquid, gas.
So it needs to be going from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.
The only one that goes from a lower energy state to a higher energy state is C. H2O (l) --> H2O (g).
Hope this helps!
