Answer:
The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
Molar mass of CuSO4*5H2O = 250 g/mol
Molar mass of CuSO4 = 160 g/mol
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water lost
Mass of water lost = 250 - 160 = 90 grams
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate % water
% water = (mass water / total mass of hydrate)*100 %
% water = (90 grams / 250 grams )*100% = 36 %
We can control this by the following equation
The hydrate has 5 moles of H2O
5*18. = 90 grams
(90/250)*100% = 36%
(160/250)*100% = 64 %
The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate
C. Sulfur and oxygen (non metals) forms a covalent bond while the magnesium (a metal) will react with both non metals to form an ionic bond
Answer:
C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.
Explanation:
Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.
This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.
Answer: It can't.
Explanation:
In most cases, the melting point alone will not enable you to identify a compound. Millions of solid organic compounds, and their melting points, are known. Perhaps 10,000 of these will have the same melting point as your unknown compound.
Hope this helps!
