Why a mixture of magnesium hydroxide and water is known as milk of magnesia

1 answer:

3 0

because of its milk-like appearance. ... Since the dissociation of this small amount of dissolved magnesium hydroxide is complete, magnesium hydroxide is considered a strong electrolyte. Its low solubility makes it a weak base.

What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?

The correct answer:

d) Nonmetals with nonmetals, because their difference in electronegativity is below 1.7.

En example to explain:
An example of a covalent bonding: HCl -> 2 nonmentals
-> a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7:

EN(Cl) = 3.0 and EN (H) = 2.1 (you can search these values in a periodic table)
/\EN = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9

0.9 < 1.7

I hope this helped you out!

How many grams are in 2.54 x 10^23 molecules of CO2

Ivan

Answer:

=<em><u> 0.42 moles of CO2 </u></em>

Explanation:

From Avogadro's constant

6.02×10^23 molecules are in 1 mole of CO2

2.54×10^23 molecules will be in

=[(2.54×10^23) ÷ (6.02×10^23)]

= 0.42 moles of CO2

Barium carbonate  barium oxide and carbon dioxide balanced formula HELP ME PLEASE

Sauron [17]

Answer:

4Ba(CO3) -> 4BaO2 + 2CO2

Explanation:

I looked at the oxygens to balance this. Ba(CO3) normally has 3 oxygens. BaO2 and CO2 have 4 oxygens total. The common multiple of 3 & 4 is 12. So there should be 12 oxygens on both sides. Then I just found the coefficients that would give 12 oxygens on both sides and can balance the rest of the atoms.

An FAS calibration curve (absorbance, y-axis vs. FAS in g/mL) gave an equation he regression line of: y-3678(x)+0.056. If an unk

mezya [45]

Answer:

FAS concentration = 1.61*10^-4M

Explanation:

Beer Lambert's law relates the absorbance (A) of a substance to its concentration (c) as:

$A = \epsilon lc----(1)$

where ε = molar absorption coefficient

l = path length

A plot of 'A' vs 'c' gives a straight line with slope = εl

In addition absorbance (A) is related to % Transmittance (%T) as:

A = 2-log%T----(2)

For the FAS solution, the corresponding calibration fit is given as:

y = 3678(x) + 0.056

This implies that the slope = εl = 3678

It is given that %T = 25.6%

$A = 2-log(25.6)=0.592$

Based on equation(1):

$c = \frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.592}{3678}=1.61*10^{-4}M$

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

31.652g of Na3PO4

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the molarity of Na3PO4 solution. This can be achieved as shown below:

Na3PO4 will dessicate in solution as follow:

Na3PO4(aq) —> 3Na+(aq) + PO4³¯(aq)

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Na3PO4 produce 3 moles of sodium ion, Na+.

Therefore, xM Na3PO4 will produce 1.10M sodium ion, Na+ i.e

xM Na3PO4 = (1.10 x 1)/3

xM Na3PO4 = 0.367M

Therefore, the molarity of Na3PO4 is 0.367M.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Na3PO4 in the solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of Na3PO4 = 0.367M

Volume = 525mL = 525/1000 = 0.525L

Mole of Na3PO4 =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.367 = mole /0.525

Cross multiply

Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.367 x 0.525

Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.193 mole.

Finally, we shall convert 0.193 mole of Na3PO4 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = (23x3) + 31 + (16x4) = 164g/mol

Mole of Na3PO4 = 0.193 mole

Mass of Na3PO4 =.?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of Na3PO4 = 0.193 x 164

Mass of Na3PO4 = 31.652g

Therefore, 31.652g of Na3PO4 is needed to prepare the solution.
