Answer:

This means 20.6% of the original hygrocopic compound is water

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

A hygroscopic compound weighs 5.24 grams

To remove the absorbed water the compound is heated.

After the heating process, the compound weighs 4.16 grams

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

The total mass of the hygroscopic compound = mass of water + mass of dry compound

The mass of water = The total mass of the hygroscopic compound - mass of dry compound

The mass of water = 5.24 grams - 4.16 grams = 1.08 grams

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate the mass percent of water in the original compound

1.08g / 5.24g *100% = 20.6%

<u>Step 4: </u>To control this we can calculate the mass percent of the dry compound

4.16g / 5.24g *100 % = 79.4%

20.6% + 79.4% = 100%

This means 20.6% of the original hygrocopic compound is water

Moles are the ratio of the mass and the molar mass of the substance given and is estimated in mol. The moles that the lungs contain when it is full is 0.12 moles.

<h3>What is the relation of the volume and moles?</h3>

Moles of the substances are directly proportional to the volume of the substance and can be shown as,

\rm \dfrac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \dfrac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}

Here,

Initial volume \rm (V_{1}) = 2.9 L

Final volume \rm (V_{2}) = 1.2 L

Initial moles = \rm n_{1}

Final moles \rm (n_{2}) = 0.049 mol

Substituting values in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{2.9}{1.2} &=\rm \dfrac{n_{1}}{0.049}\\\\&= \dfrac{2.9\times 0.049}{1.2}\\\\&= 0.12\;\rm mol\end{aligned}

Therefore, the number of moles in the lungs are 0.12 moles.
