<u>Answer:</u> The percent by mass of water in the hydrate is 45.4 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the heating of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride follows:

CoCl_2.xH_2O\rightarrow CaCl_2+xH_2O

We are given:

Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride = 5.22 g

Mass of anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride = 2.85 g

Mass of water released = (5.22 - 2.85)g = 2.37 g

To calculate the mass percentage of water in the hydrate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of water}=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride}}\times 100

Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride = 5.22 g

Mass of water = 2.37 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of water}=\frac{2.37g}{5.22g}\times 100=45.4\%

Hence, the percent by mass of water in the hydrate is 45.4 %

Answer:
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams

Explanation:
The mass of the hydrated cobalt (III) chloride is the summation of the salt and the water it contains.
This means that:
Total mass of sample = mass of salt + mass of water

Now, we are given that:
total mass of sample = 5.22 grams
mass of salt = mass of sample after heating = 2.85 grams

Substitute to get the mass of water as follows:
5.22 = mass of water in hydrate + 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 5.22 - 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams

Hope this helps :)

1 C3H8 + 5 O2 --&gt; 3 CO2 + 4H20. If 1.5 moles of C3H8 react, how many
UNO [17]

Answer:

First confirm the reaction is balanced:

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20 (3 cabon - check; 8 hydrogen - check; 10 oxygen - check).

a) In the equation there is a 5:1 ratio between propane and oxygen.  We also know that number of mole is proportional to pressure and volume.  Since pressure is constant (STP) then the volume of O2 is 7.2 * 5 = 36 litres.

b) For a near ideal gas that PV = nRT (combined gas law).  So for 7.2 litres propane we find n(propane) = 101.3 * 7.2/8.314*298 ~ 0.29 mole (using metric units throughout for simplicity).

There is a 1:3 ratio between propane and CO2.  Therefore 3 * 0.29 = 0.87 mole of CO2 is produced.

MW(CO2) ~ 44 g/mol.  Therefore m(CO2) = 44 * 0.87 ~ 38.3 g

c) We know we need more oxygen than propane (due to the 1:5 ratio) so oxygen is the limiting reagent.  Again Volume is proportional to number of mole and we see there is a 5:4 ratio between oxygen and water.  Therefore the volume of water vapour produced will be (4/5) * 15 = 12 litres.

The other questions use the same technique and will give you some much needed practice.
