Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.

Answer: The hydration number is 4

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having formula Sr(NO_3)_2.nH_2O

Mass of Sr(NO_3)_2.nH_2O = 30.7 g

Mass of Sr(NO_3)_2 = 22.9 g

Mass of water released = (30.7 – 22.9) = 7.8 g

Further Explanation:

Molar mass of strontium nitrate = [87.62+2(14.01+(3\times 16))]=211.64g/mol

Molar mass of water = [(2\times 1)+16]=18g/mol

Mass of water in Sr(NO_3)_2.nH_2O=18\times n

To calculate the mass of water released by heating strontium nitrate, we apply unitary method:

When (211.64 + (18\times n)) grams of Sr(NO_3)_2.nH_2O is heated, 18\times n grams of water is released

So, when 30.7 grams of Sr(NO_3)_2.nH_2O is heated, \frac{(18\times n)}{(211.64+(18\times n))}\times 30.7 grams of water will be released

But, mass of water released = 7.8 grams

Equating the mass of water released:

\frac{(18\times n)}{(211.64+(18\times n))}\times 30.7=7.8\\\\412.2\times n=1650.714\\\\n=\frac{1650.714}{412.2}=4

The hydration number is 4

A. Calculate the empirical formula of a molecule with percent compositions: 55.3% potassium (K), 14.6% phosphorus (P), and 30.1%
Otrada [13]
The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)

Which statement is true about the atomic mass?
nikdorinn [45]

the correct answer is A.

Each atom has three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. To get the atomic mass for each atom, one has to add the masses of the proton, neutron and electron in an atom. For each atom, the major contributors to its mass are proton and neutron, this is because the mass of the electron is very small indeed. Thus, the atomic mass of an element is usually in the range of its mass number, which is obtained by the summation of proton and neutron. Since it is the number of proton that indicate an atomic number and it is the mass number that indicate atomic mass, therefore, atomic mass can be greater than the atomic number.
