A sample of hydrated magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)

Chemistry
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

MgSO4.7H2O

Explanation:

Let the formula for the hydrated magnesium sulphate be MgSO4.xH2O

Mass of the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 12.845g

Mass of anhydrous salt (MgSO4) = 6.273g

Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = Mass of the hydrated salt — Mass of anhydrous salt = 12.845 — 6.273 = 6.572g

Now,we can obtain the number of mole of water molecule present in the hydrated salt as follows:

Molar Mass of hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 24 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 + 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 + x(18) = 120 + 18x

Mass of xH2O/ Molar Mass of MgSO4.xH2O = Mass of water / mass of hydrated salt

18x/120 + 18x = 6.572/12.845

Cross multiply to express in linear form

18x x 12.845 = 6.572(120 + 18x)

231.21x = 788.64 + 118.296x

Collect like terms

231.21x — 118.296x = 788.64

112.914x = 788.64

Divide both side by 112.914

x = 788.64 /112.914

x = 7

Therefore the formula for the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) is MgSO4.7H2O

What is the molarity of a solution containing 8.9 g of NaOH in 550. mL of NaOH solution?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,  

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

=

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,  

mL

.

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

=

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

=

0.5 L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

c

=

=

0.35 M

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

c

=

0.4 M

The mass lost by the positive electron should equal the mass gained by the negative electrode suggest two reasons why the result
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode. So the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode.

Determine the mass of KNO3 that dissolves in 100 grams of water at 40°C to produce a saturated solution
velikii [3]
From a solubility curve the solubility of KNO3 at 40°C is about 63 g / 100 g of water.


That means that 100 g of water at 40°C can dissolve 63 g of KNO3.


A saturated solution is one that cannot dissolve more solute, because it already has reached the greatest concentration that it can hold.


Then, the mass of KNO3 that dissolves in 100 g of water is about 63 g.
