We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:
cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) +
k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) --->
cac2o4⋅h2o(s) +
2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)
We known that
the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that
of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this
into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is
molar mass of cac2o4 plus the
molar mass of h2o.
molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10
+ 18 = 146.10 g /mole
moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) =
0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles
Looking at
the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is
1:1, therefore:
moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles
Converting
this to mass:
mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g
Therefore:
The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in
the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>

Answer:
Explanation:
<em>Ferrous Sulphate</em>
<em> is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide </em>
<em>, Sulphur Dioxide </em>
<em> as well as Ferric Oxide </em>
<em>.</em>
<em>We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.</em>
<em>Hence,</em>
<em>Now,</em>
<em>a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of </em><em>steps</em><em>:</em>
<em>1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside </em>
.
<em>2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:</em>
<em> Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :</em>
<em> </em>
<em>b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds </em><em>decompose </em><em>into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate </em><em>decomposes </em><em>into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is </em><em>Decomposition Reaction.</em>
I think eventually other organisms will die out as well because many herbivores feed on plants for survival, and many other animals feed on these herbivores for survival and so on (this causes a chain reaction because there is a lack of available food)<span />
