Answer:from reffered dfn of %by mass

%by M=mass of component particular/total mass

But mass directly proportional to Molar mass

% by M=molar mass of H2O cpn/total M

%by M=7((1×2)+16)/(7((1×2)+16)+(24+(16×4)+32))

=0.573

Answer:

The percentage  by mass of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 51.2 %

Explanation:

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

Molar mass of MgSO4*7H2O = 246.5 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Molar massof MgSO4 = 120.37 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate % water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate

Since we have 7 molecules of water in the heptahydrate, we will divide the molar mass of 7 molecules water by the molar mass of the heptahydrate.

m%(H2O) = (7*18.02)/ 246.5

m%(H2O) = (126.14 /246.5)*100%

m%(H2O) = 51.2 %

To controle this we will calculate the mass % of MgSO4

m%(MgSO4) = (120.37/ 246.50)*100%

m%(MgSO4) = 48.8%

51.2 + 48.8 = 100%

The percentage  by mass of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 51.2 %

Which one of the following processes produces a decrease in the entropy of the system?a, precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag+(aq) a
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution : As ions are getting solidified, entropy decreases.

b) dissolution of LiOH(s) in water: The compounds dissociates into ions, entropy increases.

c) melting solid gold into liquid gold: The randomness increases, entropy increases.

d) evaporation of Hg(l) to form Hg(g) : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

e)  mixing of two gases into one container : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

Calculate the number of moles of KOH in 6.70 mL of a 0.480 M KOH solution. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

3.2×10^-3 mol

Explanation:

The equation for molarity is M= n/L. Where "M" is Molarity, "n" is the number of moles of solute, and "L" is the total liters in solution.

The question gives you the volume in mL, so to convert "mL" to "L" you need to divide by 1000. (6.70mL/ 1000L)= 0.0067L.

Now you can plug the numbers into the equation. 0.480M= n/ 0.0067L), multiply (0.480M×0.0067L)= 0.003216 mol. The scientific notation is 3.2×10^-3, 10^-3 because you move the decimal back three times and 3.2 because there are 2 sig figs.
