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

a compound has 15.39 g of gold for every 2.77 g of chlorine. simplified there is _____ g of gold for every 1 g of chlorine
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

There is 5.56 g of gold for every 1 g of chlorine

Explanation:

The ratio is the relationship between two numbers, defined as the ratio of one number to the other. So, the ratio between two numbers a and b is the fraction \frac{a}{b}

You know that a compound has 15.39 g of gold for every 2.77 g of chlorine. This can be expressed by the ratio:

\frac{15.39 g  of gold}{2.77 g of chlorine}

The proportion is the equal relationship that exists between two reasons and is represented by:    \frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}

This reads a is a b as c is a d.

To calculate the amount of gold per 1 g of chlorine, the following proportion is expressed:

\frac{15.39 g  of gold}{2.77 g of chlorine}=\frac{mass of gold}{1 g of chlorine}

Solving for the mass of gold gives:

mass of gold=1 g of chlorine*\frac{15.39 g  of gold}{2.77 g of chlorine}

mass of gold= 5.56 grams

So, <u><em>there is 5.56 g of gold for every 1 g of chlorine</em></u>

A sample of paraffin wax undergoes the following change: C25H52(s) → C25H52(l)
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Answer: Intermolecular forces

The reason for this answer is because the substance (paraffin wax) only changed it's state from solid to liquid and didn't undergo a breakage in it's covalent bond within it's carbon chain which would have produced another substance.

(b) Solid substances are generally more dense than there corresponding liquid substances because the more compact particles are (which occurs in solids), the more dense they become. They are thus more dense than liquids because liquids have there particles loosely packed and well spaced making them less dense than there corresponding solids. Hence, the solid paraffin wax was going to become less dense because it's particles moved from being tightly packed (as solids) to being loosely packed (as liquids). Density refers to mass per volume but can also be described as the level of compactness of a substance. Thus, since liquid is not as compact as solid, it can be said to be less dense than solids.

Is h2c2o4 an Arrhenius base or arrhenius acid
maksim [4K]
Answer:
            Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Explanation:
                   According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.
