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

Almost. treating an acyl chloride with a grignard reagent tends to form (via two steps) an alcohol. what reagent forms the keton

PIT_PIT [208]

Reaction of Acyl Halides with Grignard reagent results in the formation of Ketones in first step. While in second step reaction of Grignard reagent with Ketones results in the formation of Tertiary Alcohols.

If you want to stop the reaction at Ketone stage then you are required to use another mild reactive organometallic compound. In our case we will use Organocuprates. Organocuprates are also known as Gilman Reagents. These reagents does not add to ketones, aldehydes and esters but they can add to acid halides to produce Ketones.

Identify the units used to measure volume mass.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The metric system uses units such as meter, liter, and gram to measure length, liquid volume, and mass, just as the U.S. customary system uses feet, quarts, and ounces to measure these.

Volume: 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart

Mass: 1 kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds

Length: 1 centimeter is a little less than half an

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:

$Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\$

Equation:

$3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnCO_3$

$= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\= 13.1 \ kg$

For point b:

$Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\ of\ Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\$

$=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg$

Equation:

$3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnO_2:$

$= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\= 6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\$
