Answer:

The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Molar mass of CuSO4*5H2O = 250 g/mol

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 160 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water lost

Mass of water lost = 250 - 160 = 90 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate % water

% water = (mass water / total mass of hydrate)*100 %

% water = (90 grams / 250 grams )*100% = 36 %

We can control this by the following equation

The hydrate has 5 moles of H2O

5*18. = 90 grams

(90/250)*100% = 36%

(160/250)*100% = 64 %

The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate

What is the bond angle of a methane molecule that contains four hydrogen atoms bonded to one carbon atom?
IRINA_888 [86]
Methane is a tetrahedral molecule where each C-H is kept as far away from the others as possible due to electron-electron repulsion, resulting in a bond angle of 109.5˚ (Technically 109˚ 28' but I would just use the decimal version if I were you).
Hope this helps!

If you start with 1.5 moles of H2O, how many moles of H4SiO4 do you make?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

0.75moles of  H₄SiO₄

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of H₂O  = 1.5moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₄SiO₄  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction equation first;

            SiO₂  +  2H₂O  →   H₄SiO₄

From the balanced reaction equation:

             2 moles of water will produce 1 mole of  H₄SiO₄

    So     1.5 moles of water will produce \frac{1.5}{2}   = 0.75moles of  H₄SiO₄
