Answer: In factories they burn coal under a giant container(a really big gumbo pot pretty much). when the fire is hot enough it starts to boil. When it boils it creates steam and the steam blows on a fan that makes electricity.
Answer:
The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
Molar mass of CuSO4*5H2O = 250 g/mol
Molar mass of CuSO4 = 160 g/mol
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water lost
Mass of water lost = 250 - 160 = 90 grams
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate % water
% water = (mass water / total mass of hydrate)*100 %
% water = (90 grams / 250 grams )*100% = 36 %
We can control this by the following equation
The hydrate has 5 moles of H2O
5*18. = 90 grams
(90/250)*100% = 36%
(160/250)*100% = 64 %
The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate
