A) Answer is: potassium aluminium sulfate is crystal with cubic structure, potassium aluminium sulfate dodecahydrate (alum) is hydrate (contains water or its constituent elements).

B) Answer is: molar mass.

M(KAl(SO₄)₂) = 258.192 g/mol; molar mass of anhydrous potassium aluminium sulfate.

M(KAl(SO₄)₂×12H₂O) = 474.37 g/mol; molar mass of potassium aluminium sulfate dodecahydrate.

A. Since the alum has an additional 12H2O, therefore obviously it is a heavier compound.

The hydrated form (alum) has a molar mass of about 474.39, while the anhydrous form has a molar mass of 258.39 only.

I’m not quite sure but I believe that the alum has a monoclinic structure while the anhydrous form has a amorphous structure.

 

<span>B.  In stoichiometric calculations, the main difference would be on the molar masses to be used in computing for moles from grams and vice versa.</span>

Effectus [21]

The correct answer is option B. Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The dirty water sample has both gravel and liquid water in it. After filtration the gravel is removed so the water sample looks clearer than before filtration. Liquid water is a pure substance because it is a compound that is made up of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Now the gravel is only physically combined with the liquid water, thus giving the water sample properties of a mixture. And like any mixture, gravel is physically separated through filtration from the liquid water.

Thus the water sample of the chemists is both a mixture and pure substance.
