Answer:

THE VALUE OF X IS 7 AND THE FORMULA OF THE HYDRATED SALT IS KAl(SO4)2.7H20

Explanation:

1. write out the varibales given in thequestion:

Mass of the hydrated salt = 4.74 g

Mass of water lost = 2.16 g

Formula of the hydrated salt = KAl(SO4)2. XH20

2. calculate the molar mass of the salt and that of water of crystallization:

Molar mass of anhydrous salt = ( K = 39, Al = 27, S = 32, 0=16)

= ( 39 + 27 + 32*2 + 16 * 8

= (39 + 27 + 64 + 128)

= 258 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

3. Use this expression to calculate X:

The expression,

XH20 / molar mass of anhydrous salt = Mass of water lost / Mass of hydrated salt.

X = molar mass of anhydrous salt * mass of water lost / mass of anhydrous salt * H20

where XH20 is the molar mass of water of crystallization, is used to calculate the value of X.

4. Solve for X:

So therefore:

X = 258 * 2.16 / 4.74 * 18

X = 557.28/ 85.32

X = 6.53

X is approximately 7.

The value of X is 7 and the formula pf the hydrated salt is KAl(SO4)2.7H20

What energy sources boil the water in geothermal energy
GREYUIT [131]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 16 g and 3.0 ml
fomenos

Answer:

D = 5.3 g/mL

Explanation:

Density = Mass over Volume

D = m/V

Step 1: Define

D = unknown

m = 16 g

v = 3.0 mL

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

D = 16 g / 3.0 mL

D = 5.333333333 g/mL

Step 3: Simplify

We have 2 sig figs.

5.333333333 g/mL ≈ 5.3 g/mL
