    Base your answers to questions 5 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    A hydrate is a compound that has water molecules within its crystal structure. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4•7H2O, is a hydrated form of magnesium sulfate. The hydrated compound has 7 moles of H2O for each mole of MgSO4. When 5.06 grams of MgSO4•7H2O are heated to at least 300.°C in a crucible by using a laboratory burner, the water molecules are released. The sample was heated repeatedly, until the remaining MgSO4 had a constant mass of 2.47 grams. During this laboratory activity, appropriate safety equipment was used and safety procedures were followed.

    Base your answers to questions 8 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Fruit growers in Florida protect oranges when the temperature is near freezing by spraying water on them. It is the freezing of the water that protects the oranges from frost damage. When H2O(ℓ) at 0°C changes to H2O(s) at 0°C, heat energy is released. This energy helps to prevent the temperature inside the orange from dropping below freezing, which could damage the fruit. After harvesting, oranges can be exposed to ethene gas, C2H4, to improve their color.

    Base your answers to questions 10 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    In a laboratory investigation, a solution that contains 13.2 grams of Pb(NO3)2 reacts completely with a solution that contains 12.0 grams of NaI, producing 18.4 grams of PbI2 and an undetermined mass of a second product, NaNO3. This reaction is represented by the balanced equation below.

    Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaI → PbI2 + 2NaNO3

    Antimony and sulfur are both found in the mineral stibnite, Sb2S3. To obtain antimony, stibnite is roasted (heated in air), producing oxides of antimony and sulfur. The unbalanced equation below represents one of the reactions that occurs during the roasting.

    Sb2S3(s) + O2(g) → Sb2O3(s) + SO2(g)
