You have to find the number of moles of water and calcium sulfate.
to find the mass of water you subtract 3.87 by 4.89 to get 1.02g water and we are given taht the mass of calcium sulfate is 3.87g
then find the moles of water and calcium sulfate in the sample
1.02/18=0.05667mol water
3.87/136.2=0.0284 mol water
now you have to find how many moles there are per one mole of calcium sufate.
0.05667/0.0284=1.994 which can be rounded to 2 mol water for ever 1 mol calcium sulfate
therefore the formula for this CaSO₄·2H₂O and is called calcium sulfate dihydrate.

I hope this helps

Which property of matter changes during a chemical change but not during a physical change

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:In a physical change, atoms are not rearranged and the matter's physical and chemical properties are unchanged. Chemical changes, on the other hand, rearrange the atoms of matter in new combinations, resulting in matter with new physical and chemical properties.

20cm of 0.09M solution of H2SO4. requires 30cm of NaOH for complete neutralization. Calculate the

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Choice A: approximately $0.12\; \rm M$ .

Explanation:

Note that the unit of concentration, $\rm M$ , typically refers to moles per liter (that is: $1\; \rm M = 1\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .)

On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in $\rm cm^3$ , which is the same as $\rm mL$ (that is: $1\; \rm cm^{3} = 1\; \rm mL$ .) Convert the unit of volume to liters:

$V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) = 20\; \rm cm^{3} = 20 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.02\; \rm L$ .
$V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 30\; \rm cm^{3} = 30 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.03\; \rm L$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2SO_4$ formula units in that $0.02\; \rm L$ of the $0.09\; \rm M$ solution:

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) &= c(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \cdot V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})\\ &= 0.02 \; \rm L \times 0.09 \; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1} = 0.0018\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Note that $\rm H_2SO_4$ (sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of $\rm H_2SO_4$ completely dissolves in water, two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ ions will be released.

On the other hand, $\rm NaOH$ (sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of $\rm OH^{-}$ ions will be released.

$\rm H^{+}$ ions and $\rm OH^{-}$ ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid $\rm H_2SO_4$ dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of $\rm OH^{-}$ to neutralize that two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base $\rm NaOH$ will be required to produce that two moles of $\rm OH^{-}$ . Therefore, $\rm NaOH$ and $\rm H_2SO_4$ formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.

$\rm H_2SO_4 + 2\; NaOH \to Na_2SO_4 + 2\; H_2O$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$ .

Previous calculations show that $0.0018\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ was produced. Calculate the number of moles of $\rm NaOH$ formula units required to neutralize that

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})}\cdot n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \\&= 2 \times 0.0018\; \rm mol = 0.0036\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the concentration of a $0.03\; \rm L$ solution that contains exactly $0.0036\; \rm mol$ of $\rm NaOH$ formula units:

$\begin{aligned}c(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{V(\mathrm{NaOH})} = \frac{0.0036\; \rm mol}{0.03\; \rm L} = 0.12\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

How are trials used in an experiment?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:Trials are repetitions of the same procedure. These are done for a couple of reasons: To minimize the impacts of errors done in any one trial by averaging multiple trials together. To minimize random effects and the effects of uncontrolled variables by averaging multiple trials together.
