Chemistry

Answer: 0.34 mol

Justification:

1) Hepta means 7, so heptahyrate means 7 parts of water. On mole of magnesium sulfate heptadydrate has seven moles of water.

2)  The formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is:

Mg SO4 . 7 H2O

3) Calcualte the number of moles of the compound by dividing the mass in grams by the molar mass of formula.

molar mass:

Mg: 24.3 g/mol
S: 32.1 g/mol
O4: 4 * 16.0 g/mol = 64.0 g/mol
H2: 2 * 1.0 g/mol = 2.0 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

Molar mass = 24.3 g/mol + 32.1 g/mol + 64.0 g/mol + 2.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 138.4 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 6.81 g / 138.4 g/mol = 0.049 mol

4) As stated, there are 7 moles of H2O per each mol of heptahydrate compoind, so the number of moles of water is 7 * 0.049 mol = 0.343 mol

Answer: 0.194 moles of water molecules

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

given mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO_4.7H_2O)= 6.81 g

Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO_4.7H_2O) = 246 g/mol

Putting in the values we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{6.81g}{246g/mol}=0.0277moles

1 mole of (MgSO_4.7H_2O) contains = 7 moles of water molecules

Thus 0.0277 moles of (MgSO_4.7H_2O) contain = \frac{7}{1}\times 0.0277=0.194 moles of water molecules

Thus there are 0.194 moles of water molecules in 6.81 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate

[Ca2+] within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is 10-3M. Cytosolic [Ca2+] is 10-7M. Lysosomes in mammalian cells have an internal
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient

Explanation:

ΔGt =  RT㏑(C₂/C₁)

where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.

For Ca²⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol

For H⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol

From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.

If a 300.0 ml sample of a gas is heated at constant pressure from 25.0ºc to 55.0ºc, its new volume is _____ ml?
jekas [21]

 The new  volume is    330.2 ml


<u><em>calculation</em></u>

 The new  volume is  calculated using  the Charles  law formula

that is  V1/T1= V2/T2

where T1= 25.0  c  into kelvin  =  25 +273  = 298 K

         V1=  300.0 ml

       T2  = 55.0  c  into kelvin = 273   +55  =328  K

      V2 =  ? ml


make V2  the   subject of the formula  by  multiplying  both side by T2

V2= V1T2/ T1

V2 =[ (300.0 ml x 328 k)  / 298 k}  = 330.2 ml

Predict what will observe in below mention experiment.
Sloan [31]

Predict what will be observed in each experiment below. Rock candy is formed when excess sugar is dissolved in hot water followed by crystallization. A student wants to make two batches of rock candy. He finds an unopened box of "cane sugar" in the pantry. He starts preparing batch A by dissolving sugar in 500 mL of hot water (70 degree C). He keeps adding sugar until no more sugar dissolves in the hot water. He cools the solution to room temperature. He prepares batch B by dissolving sugar in 500 mL of water at room temperature until no more sugar is dissolved. He lets the solution sit at room temperature

a. It is likely that more rock candy will be formed in batch A.

b. It is likely that less rock candy will be formed in batch A.

c. It is likely that no rock candy will be formed in either batch.

d. I need more information to predict which batch is more likely to form rock candy.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

More rock candy will be formed in the batch A because it is dissolved in hot water and less rock candy will be formed in batch B because the water is not hot.

Formation of the candies require hot water as the solubility of sugar is more in hot water as compared to normal water.

The sugar will be dissolved in water until the time all the space is filled sugar molecules.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Barium sulfate, BaSO4, is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. It is used by doctors to diagnose problems with
pshichka [43]

Answer:2

Explanation:

Ba(OH)2 contains two oxygen atoms

BaSO4 contains four oxygen atoms.

This means that barium sulphate contains two more oxygen atoms than barium hydroxide in its formula. This is clearly seen from the two formulae shown above.
