Answer: 0.34 mol

Justification:

1) Hepta means 7, so heptahyrate means 7 parts of water. On mole of magnesium sulfate heptadydrate has seven moles of water.

2)  The formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is:

Mg SO4 . 7 H2O

3) Calcualte the number of moles of the compound by dividing the mass in grams by the molar mass of formula.

molar mass:

Mg: 24.3 g/mol
S: 32.1 g/mol
O4: 4 * 16.0 g/mol = 64.0 g/mol
H2: 2 * 1.0 g/mol = 2.0 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

Molar mass = 24.3 g/mol + 32.1 g/mol + 64.0 g/mol + 2.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 138.4 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 6.81 g / 138.4 g/mol = 0.049 mol

4) As stated, there are 7 moles of H2O per each mol of heptahydrate compoind, so the number of moles of water is 7 * 0.049 mol = 0.343 mol

Answer: 0.34 mol

Answer: 0.194 moles of water molecules

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

given mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO_4.7H_2O)= 6.81 g

Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO_4.7H_2O) = 246 g/mol

Putting in the values we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{6.81g}{246g/mol}=0.0277moles

1 mole of (MgSO_4.7H_2O) contains = 7 moles of water molecules

Thus 0.0277 moles of (MgSO_4.7H_2O) contain = \frac{7}{1}\times 0.0277=0.194 moles of water molecules

Thus there are 0.194 moles of water molecules in 6.81 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate

A teapot with a surface area of 785 cm2 is to be plated with silver. It is attached to the negative electrode of an electrolytic
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Given info: The surface area of teapot plated with silver is 700 cm2700 cm2, the cell is powered by 12.0-V12.0-V, the resistance of the cell is 1.80 Ω1.80 Ω, thickness of silver layer is 0.133-mm0.133-mm and density of silver is 10.5×103 kg/m310.5×103 kg/m3.

Write the expression for the mass of the silver.

m=ρAdm=ρAd (1)

Here,

ρρ is the density of silver.

AA is the surface area.

dd is the thickness of the silver layer.

Substitute 10.5×103 kg/m310.5×103 kg/m3 for ρρ, 700 cm2700 cm2 for AA and 0.133-mm0.133-mm for dd in equation (1) to find mass of the silver.

m=(10.5×103 kg/m3)(700 cm2(10−21 cm)2)(0.133-mm(10−3 m1 mm))=0.0978 kg(103 g1 kg)=97.8 gm=(10.5×103 kg/m3)(700 cm2(10−21 cm)2)(0.133-mm(10−3 m1 mm))=0.0978 kg(103 g1 kg)=97.8 g

Thus, the mass of silver is 97.8 g97.8 g.

Write the expression for number of moles of silver.

n=mWan=mWa (2)

Here,

mm is the mass of silver.

WaWa is the atomic weight.

The atomic weight of silver is 107.8 g/mole107.8 g/mole

Substitute 97.8 g97.8 g for mm, and 107.8 g/mole107.8 g/mole for WaWa in equation (2) to find number of moles of silver.

n=97.8 g107.8 g/mole=0.907 moln=97.8 g107.8 g/mole=0.907 mol

Thus, the number of moles of silver is 0.907 mol0.907 mol.
