(i) Temperature: Increasing the temperature can increase the rate of reaction by providing more kinetic energy to the molecules involved. However, this may not always favor the equilibrium position.
(ii) Pressure: For gaseous reactions, increasing the pressure can shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas molecules.
(iii) Concentration: Higher concentrations of reactants can increase the rate of reaction, but it may not affect the position of equilibrium.

Molar mass of MgSO₄= Mg + S +4 * O
Molar mass of MgSO₄= 24 + 32 + (4*16) = 24+32+64= 120g/mol

The molar concentration in mol/dm³= 0.75mol/dm³

Given the mass concentration of the hydrated salt= 184.5g/dm³

Mass concentration=molar concentration * molar mass of MgSO₄⋅XH₂O
184.5 = 0.75 * molar mass of MgSO₄⋅XH₂O
Molar mass of MgSO₄⋅XH₂O= 184.5/0.75 = 246g/mol

Molar mass of MgSO₄⋅XH₂O= molar mass of MgSO₄ + X * molar mass of H₂O

246 = 120 + X * (2*1+16)
246 = 120 + X * 18
246 = 120 + 18X
X = (246 - 120)/18
X = 126/18
X = 7

Nitrogen prepared from air is often denser than pure nitrogen because it contains impurities, mainly argon and small amounts of other gases. These impurities increase the overall mass per unit volume of the gas mixture compared to pure nitrogen, making it denser. When nitrogen is extracted from the air, it is typically around 99.9% pure, but that 0.1% of impurities, such as argon, oxygen, and trace gases, can still affect its density.

(I) Atomic radius:
-Across the Period: Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period. This is because the number of protons in the nucleus increases, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus due to stronger electrostatic attraction.
-Down the Group: Atomic radius increases down a group. This is because additional electron shells are added, making the atom larger despite the increase in nuclear charge.

(II) Ionization energy:
-Across the Period: Ionization energy increases from left to right across a period. This is due to the increasing nuclear charge, which holds the electrons more tightly and requires more energy to remove one.
-Down the Group: Ionization energy decreases down a group. As the atomic radius increases, the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus and are less strongly attracted, making them easier to remove.

Benin Art originates from the Kingdom of Benin, which is located in present-day Nigeria. The kingdom, with its capital in Benin City, was one of the most influential and powerful empires in West Africa, flourishing from the 13th century until its decline in the late 19th century.

(1ii)
Medium:
Benin Art utilizes various mediums, primarily bronze, ivory, wood, and terracotta. Bronze is particularly significant, renowned for its intricate detailing achieved through the lost-wax casting technique. Ivory is prized for its smoothness, ideal for delicate carvings. Wood is used for masks and statues, while terracotta serves for early sculptures.
