For this, you need to know 1) the mass of the hydrate and 2) the mass of the anhydrous salt. Once you have both of these, you will subtract 1) from 2) to find the mass of the water lost.
From the problem, you know that 1) = 2.000 g.
Now you need to find 2). You know that your crucible+anhydrous salt is 5.022 g. To find just the anhydrous salt, subtract the mass of the crucible (3.715 g).
1) = 5.022 g - 3.715 g = 1.307 g
Now you can complete our original task.
Mass H2O = 2) - 1) = 2.000 g - 1.307 g = 0.693 g.
The answer is B. Flammability
Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
