<u>Answer:</u> The number of oxygen atoms in given amount of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 2.265\times 10^{23}

<u>Explanation:</u>

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 = 8.43 g

Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate = 246.47 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}=\frac{8.43g}{246.47g/mol}=0.0342mol

The chemical formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is MgSO_4.7H_2O

1 mole of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate contains 1 mole of magnesium atoms, 1 mole of sulfur atoms, 11 moles of oxygen atoms and 14 moles of hydrogen atoms

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

So, 0.0342 moles of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate will contain = (11\times 0.0342\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.265\times 10^{23} number of oxygen atoms

Hence, the number of oxygen atoms in given amount of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 2.265\times 10^{23}

Moles oxygen = 0.0338 x 11 =0.372
atoms oxygen = 0.372 x 6.02 x 10^23=2.24 x 10^23
<span> moles water = 7 x 0.0338 =0.237

Which of the following equilibrium expressions corresponds to a heterogeneous equilibrium?(a) Kc =[NH4+][OH−][NH3](b) Kc =[H+][C
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

c. Kc = \frac{[Ag(NH_{3})_2^{+}][Cl^-]}{[NH_3]^2}}

d. Kc = [Ba^{2+}][F^{-}]^2

Explanation:

An heterogeneous equilibrium is defined as a system whose reactants, products, or both are in more than one phase.

Also, you must know in an equilibrium constant you don't take solids or pure liquids. Thus:

a. Kc = \frac{[NH_{4}^+][OH^-]}{[NH_3]}}

The reaction must be: NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇆ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)  <em>All reactants are in the same phase.</em>

b. Kc = \frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_{2}^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}}

The reaction must be: HC₂H₃O₂(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq)  <em>All reactants are in the same phase.</em>

c. Kc = \frac{[Ag(NH_{3})_2^{+}][Cl^-]}{[NH_3]^2}}

The reaction must be:  2NH₃(aq) + AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag(NH₃)₂⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

<em>Reactants aren´t in the same phase. Heterogeneous equilibrium</em>

d. Kc = [Ba^{2+}][F^{-}]^2

The reaction must be: BaF₂(s) ⇆ Ba²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

<em>Reactants aren´t in the same phase. Heterogeneous equilibrium</em>

I hope it helps!

Explain why you cannot just take away a proton to make a halogen negative.​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

Phosphoric acid has a pka of 2.1. at what ph will 75% of phosphoric acid be in the conjugate base form?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

pH is 2.58

Explanation:

The pH of the buffer made from the mixture of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) and its conjugate base form (H₂PO₄⁻) follows the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pka + log [H₂PO₄⁻] /[H₃PO₄]

If 75% of the buffer is in the conjugate base form (H₂PO₄⁻), 25% will be as H₃PO₄. Replacing to find pH:

pH = 2.1 + log [75%] /[25%]

pH = 2.58

<em>pH is 2.58</em>

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

What are the 3 critical components of an electromagnet and what purpose do they each serve?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A source of electricity, a wire coil, and an iron core  

Explanation:

An electromagnet has three critical components:

1. A source of electricity

This is often a battery.

It generates the electric current that produces the magnetic field.  

2. A wire coil

The wire carries the electric current.

Stacking the wire into loops makes a stronger magnetic field.

The more loops in the coil, the stronger the field.

3. An iron core

An iron core greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field within it and at its ends.
