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 %

A beaker contains 0.125 L of a 3.00 M solution. If the volume goes up to 0.325 L, what is the new molarity?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

1.15 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial volume (V₁): 0.125 L

Initial concentration (C₁): 3.00 M

Final volume (V₂): 0.325 L

Final concentration (C₂): ?

Step 2: Calculate the final concentration of the solution

We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one by adding water. We can calculate the concentration of the dilute solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

C₂ = C₁ × V₁/V₂

C₂ = 3.00 M × 0.125 L/0.325 L = 1.15 M

Answer:

2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the addition of hydrochloric acid acts as an electrophilic atack in which the hydrogen bonded to the double-bonded carbon connected to the carbon with the methyl substitution is substituted by the chlorine from the hydrochloric acid, in such a way, 2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene is produced as one equivalent of HCl is used therefore one substitution will be attained for chlorine, and hydrogen as a side product as shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.
