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
