Answer: 353.6 g.


Explanation:


1) Word equation (given)

Sodium phosphate + calcium choride → sodium chloride + calcium phosphate


2) Balanced chemical equation

2 Na₃PO₄ +3 CaCl₂ → 6 NaCl + Ca₃(PO4)₂


3) Mole ratio

2 moles Na₃PO₄ : 3 moles CaCl₂ :  6 moles NaCl : 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂


4)  Formula to convert grams to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass


5) Number of moles of limiting reactant

a) mass in grams = 379.4 g CaCl₂

b) molar mass CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

c) number of moles CaCl₂ = 379.4 g / 110.98 g/mol = 3.419 moles


6) Theoretical yield of Ca₃(PO4)₂

    3 moles CaCl₂ / 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 3.419 moles CaCl₂ / x ⇒

    x = 3.419 × 1 / 3 = 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂


7) Convert 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂

a) molar mass Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 310.1767 g/mol

b) mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass = 1.140 moles × 310.1767 g/mol = 353.6 g ← answer.

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165 g sample is combusted to produce
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C₄H₈O;

The molecular formula is C₈H₁₆O₂.

Explanation:

The empiric formula is CxHyOz, and the combustion reaction occurs between the fuel and oxygen gas, so it will be:

CxHyOz + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

So, all the carbon will form CO₂ and all hydrogen will form H₂O. So, let's calculated the number of moles of carbon in CO₂ and the number of moles of hydrogen in H₂O. They must be the same number f the moles in the valproic acid.

The molar masses are: C= 12 g/mol, O = 156 g/mol and H = 1 g/mol, so CO₂ = 12 + 2x16 = 44 g/mol, and H₂O = 2x1 + 16 = 18 g/mol.

nCO₂ = 0.403/44 = 9.16x10⁻³ mol

In 1 mol of CO₂ there is 1 mol of C, so nC = 9.16x10⁻³ mol.

nH₂O = 0.166/18 = 9.22x10⁻³ mol.

In 1 mol of H₂O there are 2 moles of H, so nH = 0.018 mol.

The mass of Carbon and the mass of H in the compound must be:

mC = nxM = 9.22x10⁻³ x12 = 0.1106 g

mH = nxM = 0.018x1 = 0.018 g

The mass of oxygen must be then:

mC + mH +mO = 0.165

mO = 0.165 - 0.1106 - 0.018

mO = 0.0364g

And its number of moles:

nO = 0.0364/16 = 2.275x10⁻³ mol

To have the empirical formula, the coefficients must be the smallest, so let's divide the number of moles for the small one: 2.275x10⁻³

nC = (9.16x10⁻³ )/(2.275x10⁻³) = 4 mol

nH = 0.018/(2.275x10⁻³) = 8 mol

nO = (2.275x10⁻³)/(2.275x10⁻³) = 1 mol

The empirical formula is C₄H₈O.

The molecular formula must be a multiple of the empirical, so it will be n(C₄H₈O). Knowing the molar mass, we can calculate n:

4xnx12 + 8xnx1 + 1xnx16 = 144

48n + 8n + 16n = 144

72n = 144

n = 2

The molecular formula is 2(C₄H₈O) = C₈H₁₆O₂.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

They can warm up the water. Sugar dissolves much faster in warm/hot water.

A perfect example of this is when you put sugar in your hot coffee/tea -> it will dissolve almost immediately. If you put sugar in cold water, you will have to stir it for quite some time before it dissolves.
