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
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
