Answer:

A. Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.

Explanation:

Pyrite is a combination of iron and sulfur, chemically knwon as iron sulfide, it´s called the fool´s gold because it has a golden colour and it´s metallic state often can be preceived as gold, but it is not used in jewelry because could be poisonous to the people wearing it, it´s main use is production of sulfur or sulfiric acid.

Answer:

The reactivity of metal is determined by the reactivity series. ... The metal which easily displaced aluminium will lie above in the series but that same element cannot displace sodium, so it will lie below in the series. Hence, from the series, we conclude that the unknown metal could be calcium or magnesium.

In an experiment, 34.8243g of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O was heated to a constant mass of 27.0351g. Calculate th

Leto [7]

Answer:

1) The mass of water lost = 7.7892 grams

2) Z = 3: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O = 34.8243 grams

Mass of substance after heating = 27.0351 grams

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

The mass of water is the mass lost after heating.

Mass water = 34.8243 - 27.0351 = 7.7892 grams of water

Step 3: Calculate moles of Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = Mass Cu(NO3)2 / Molar mass Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 27.0351 grams / 187.56 g/mol

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 0.144 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 7.7892 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.432 moles

Step 5: Calculate Z

z = moles H2O / moles Cu(NO3)2

Z = 0.432/0.144

Z = 3

This means we have 3 water molecules in the formula. This makes the formula ofthe hydrate: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O
