Washing soda is a hydrate of sodium carbonate. Elemental analysis of a sample of washing soda gave 4.20% C and 7.05% H. What is

Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
To find out the number of water molecules produced simply use Avogadro’s constant, where 1 mol of any compound is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of the substance.

Multiply 0.815 to this value.

What are the formal charges on the sulfur (s), carbon (c), and nitrogen (n) atoms, respectively, in the resonance structure that
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Sulfur: -1

Carbon: 0

Nitrogen: 0

Explanation:

The thiocyanate ion SCN- can have only two resonance structures, which are:

S - C ≡ N <--------> S = C = N

In the first structure, we have one single bond and one triple bond, in this case, the negative charge is located in the sulfur. This is because Sulfur have 6 electrons and those electrons are present in the atom, (see picture below), and counting the electron that is sharing with the Carbon, the total electrons that sulfur has is 7 (It has one more than usual). Carbon and nitrogen are already stable with 0 of formal charge, because carbon can only have 4 electrons which 1 is sharing with sulfur and the other 3 with the nitrogen, and nitrogen have 5 electrons, three sharing with carbon and the other two kept it for itself.

In the second structure, the negative charge of the sulfur is transfered to the nitrogen, meaning that it has 6 electrons the nitrogen (formal charge -1) and carbon and sulfur with 4 and 6 electrons respectively.

Between these two structures, the most stable is the first one basically because Sulfur is a better nucleophile than the Nitrogen, and can form stronger hydrogen bond in acid, giving more stable structure.

galben [10]

Answer:

The answer is "7.90 \ g".

Explanation:

Please finds the complete question in the attached file.

Volume = 10.0 \ mL \\\\Density =0.79 g\  cm^3

\text{Density}=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = Density \times Volume

         =(0.790 g\ cm^3) \times 10.0 \ mL\\\\=7.90 \ g

The mass of acetone to be weighed is 7.90 \ g
