Well, clearly the calculated value for the number of hydrating water molecules would increase above its true level, because the total weight loss would be greater than expected. This is of course undesirable, but may usually be avoided by careful application of the experimental procedures. The signs to look for include
<span>(a) loss of water of hydration usually occurs at a considerably lower temperature than decomposition of the salt, because the water molecules are not strongly bonded in the hydrated complex. Dehydration typically occurs in a broad range of temperatures, typically from 50°C to around 200°C, whereas decomposition of the dehydrated salt generally takes place at temperatures over 200°C and in some case over 1000°C. So dehydration should be performed with care - avoid over-heating the sample in order to ensure that all the water has been driven off. </span>
<span>(b) dehydration often results in a change of appearance of the sample, particularly the colour and particle size of crystalline hydrates. However, decomposition may be accompanied by an additional change at higher temperatures, which gives a warning of its occurrence. </span>
<span>(c) if it is suspected that decomposition is occurring, or that dehydration is not complete, exploratory runs of varying duration at a given temperature may be carried out. There are two criteria to judge the effectiveness of the procedure </span>
<span>(i) the weight of the sample decreases to a constant stable value: this is a sign that dehydration is complete and decomposition - which is usually a much slower process - is not occurring. </span>
<span>(ii) the calculated number of molecules of water lost should take an integer value. If it differs by more than, say, 0.1 from an integer than it is probable that one of these two undesirable effects is present. Some hydrates lose water in steps through intermediate compounds with a lower level of hydration. These may provide plateaus where the weight loss is stable but dehydration is not complete. These will, in general, not provide an integer value for the number of water molecules present (because the calculation is based on the assumption that the residual sample is completely dehydrated salt).</span>
Answer:
The change in entropy of gas is 
Explanation:
n= Number of moles of gas
Change in entropy of gas = 
From the given,
Let "T" be the initial temperature.
Therefore, The change in entropy of gas is
Answer:
The option<u><em> D) increases reproduction of native species</em></u> is NOT an impact that an invasive non-native species has on an ecosystem.
Explanation:
Introduction of a non-native species into a stable ecosystem can be very threatful to the ecosystem. The non-native species will compete for resources with the native species of the area. As a result, there will be severe competition. The competition might lead to migration of the native species or them being endangered on the whole. Also, the introduction of a non-native species will result in the extinction of a particular prey as it will have an increase in the number of predators.
Answer:
Light waves
Explanation:
It isn't sound because it isn't infrared, involve electromagneticism, or light/radiation. An ocean wave is a literal wave of water, and a wave traveling along a rope is way off course. Choose a light wave. Also, brainliest would be nice. Glad to help
Answer:
All electromagnetic waves: are transverse waves; can travel through a vacuum ; travel at exactly the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, 300,000,000 m/s.
...
Like all waves, electromagnetic waves:
transfer energy from one place to another;
can be reflected;
Explanation:
