This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water.
REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work.
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O
No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.
Answer:
- <em>Hydration number:</em> 4
Explanation:
<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>
Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound
Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g
<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>
- Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
- molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol
- Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol
<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>
- The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g
- Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ : 211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).
- Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol = 0.108 mol
<u>4) Ratio</u>
- 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈ 4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂
Which means that the hydration number is 4.
