Answer:

% of water = 62.94%

Explanation: up

To calculate the amount of water in

Na2CO3.10H2O

Calculating the molecular mass of

Na2CO3

Na2=2*23=46g/mol of Na

C= 1*12=12g/mol of C

O3= 3*16=48g/mol of O

Molecular mass of Na2CO3=46+12+48=106g/mol

Molecular mass of H2O=18g/mol

10.H2O= 10*18= 180g/mol

Na2CO3.10H2O=106+180=286g/mol

%of water = 180/286*100%=62.94%

The trick for this problem is to understand atomic mass: the fact that different atoms have different masses. What we need to do is add up all the atomic masses of the compound and work out the ratio of mass of water to the mass of sodium carbonate. Atomic masses are often given for each atom in the periodic table, but you can look them up on google too.

You can do this by adding up individual atoms for each molecule, or you can shortcut and lookup the molar mass of the compound (i.e.the task already done for you). 

The molar mass of water is 18.01g/mole so for 10 moles of water we have a mass of 180.1g.


The molar mass of sodium carbonate is 106g/mole (google).

So the total mass of the sodium carbonate decahydrate compound is 180.1+106 = 286.1g, of which water would make up 180.1g, so the percentage of water is is 180.1/286.1 = 0.629, so we can round this to 63%

eduard

Answer:

OUTCOME VARIABLE: Attraction to negatively charged balloon

Explanation:

In an experiment, two major variables must be included viz: the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable also referred to as the test variable is the variable that is being changed in the experiment while the dependent or outcome variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. The outcome variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment.

In this experiment involving Marianne wanting to know which objects will be attracted to a negatively charged balloon. The type of objects are the independent variable while the ATTRACTION is the outcome or dependent variable as it is dependent on the type of object used.

How can you experimentally determine the pK_a of acetic acid? Determine the pH of the solution 1/4 of the way to the end-point o
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Determine the pH of the solution half-way to the end-point on the pH titration curve for acetic acid.  

Explanation:

The equation for the ionization of acetic acid is

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

For points between the starting and equivalence points, the pH is given by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}

At the half-way point, half of the HA has been converted to A⁻, so [HA] = [A⁻].  Then,

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{1}{1} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + 0 \\\\\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}}

The pKₐ is the pH at the half-way point in the titration.
