The masses can be found by substractions:
- Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):
16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g
15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g
- The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:
2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g
- The percent of water is found by the formula:
massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%
0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%
- The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):
0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water
- A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)
1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄
- The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:
0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49
In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O
Not sure, just setting up account
C. It has mass and volume
Explanation:
Every atom of an element has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of substance it contains this is usually a function of their subatomic particles.
The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus where we have protons and neutrons. Electrons do not really add much to the mass of an atom.
Atoms also have specific volume.
- The reason for our selection is that atoms are the smallest particle of matter.
- Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.
- Since it is matter, it must have specific weight and volume
