it would be a crystalline solid, because it could be extended in multiple directions.
Answer:
The percent by mass of water in this crystal is:
Explanation:
This exercise can be easily solved using a simple rule of three where the initial weight of the hydrated crystal (6,235 g) is taken into account as 100% of the mass, and the percentage to which the mass of 4.90 g corresponds (after getting warm). First, the values and unknown variable are established:
- 6,235 g = 100%
- 4.90 g = X
And the value of the variable X is found:
- X = (4.90 g * 100%) / 6,235 g
- X = approximately 78.6%.
The calculated value is not yet the percentage of the water, since the water after heating the glass has evaporated, therefore, the remaining percentage must be taken, which can be calculated by subtraction:
- Water percentage = Total percentage - Percentage after heating.
- <u>Water percentage = 100% - 78.6% = 21.4%</u>
Answer:
It would have a charge of +2.
Explanation:
A proton has a charge of +1, an elctron has a charge of -1, and a neutron has a charge of 0. Ignore the neurons since they have a charge of 0. Since there are 20 protons and 18 electrons (20-18), the overall charge of the atom is +2.
