I am sure, the answer is variant B.
Answer:
Acids react with most metals.
When an acid reacts with a metal, the products are a salt and hydrogen.
This is the general word equation for the reaction: metal + acid → salt + hydrogen
Explanation:
Answer:
4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule
Explanation:
At a double bond, there's sigma and a pi bond, and at a single bond, there's only a sigma bond. Thus, if the energy to break both sigma and pi is 614 kJ/mol, and the energy to break only the sigma bond is 348 kJ/mol, the energy to break only the pi bond is:
E = 614 - 348 = 266 kJ/mol
Knowing that 1 kJ = 1000 J, E = 266,000 J/mol
By Avogadro's number, 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecules, thus:
E = 266,000 J/mol * 1mol/6.02x10²³ molecules
E = 4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule
Answer:
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating
Explanation:
a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.
This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.
Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.
c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.
It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.
d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.
Here the error is small.
e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.
Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.
