Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16

Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.

If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8

The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.

How much thermal energy is in 100 grams of water at 50 degrees Celsius
Ymorist [56]
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.  

and when the thermal energy  is can be determined by this formula:

q = M * C *ΔT

when q  is the thermal energy

and M is the mass of water = 100 g 

and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C

and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C

So by substitution:

∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50

   = 20900 J  = 20.9 KJ

Determine the mass of CuSO4 • 5H20 that must be used to prepare 250mL of 2.01 M CuSO4(aq).
mario62 [17]

Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

             CuSO₄.5H₂O  →   CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

         Number of moles  = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

           Volume  = 250 x 10⁻³L

  Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

        Number of moles  = 250 x 10⁻³  x  2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

             1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O  

So  0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16)  = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

                                      = 0.5 x 249.6

                                     = 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g

Which electrolyte is stronger, NaOH or Ca(OH)2? Why?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

NaOH

Explanation:

Look at charge Na has +1 charge and Ca has +2 charge after dissociation . Greater charge Stronger lattice. And as we need weak Lattice, so NaoH is stronger base than Ca(OH)2.
