Answer:
5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate
Explanation:
To solve this question we must find the moles of the anhydrate. The difference in mass between the dry and the anhydrate gives the mass of water. Thus, we can find the moles of water and the moles of water per mole of anhydrate:
<em>Moles Anhydrate:</em>
7.58g * (1mol / 84.32g) = 0.0899 moles XCO3
<em>Moles water:</em>
15.67g - 7.58g = 8.09g * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.449 moles H2O
Moles of water per mole of anhydrate:
0.449 moles H2O / 0.0899 moles XCO3 =
5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate
Answer:
MgO.
Explanation:
charges of both satisfy one another (balanced) -- producing a compound MgO.
