              150°C
X*5H₂O    →    X + 5H₂O↑

m₀=100 g
m(X)=8 g
M(H₂O)=18.0 g/mol
n(H₂O)=5 mol

the mass of the water 
m(H₂O)=M(H₂O)n(H₂O)
m(H₂O)=18.0*5=90 g

the mass of the residue after removal of water
m'(X)=100-90=10 g

the percentage of impurity in X*5H₂O
w(imp)=[m'(X)-m(X)]/m₀

w(imp)=[10-8]/100=0.02 (2%)

What is the iupac name of the following compound? <br><br> 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

What is the relationship between specific heat and the rate of heating?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.

Explanation:

There is an elementary equation from basic thermodynamics that states that the rate of heat transfer (Q) equals the mass flow rate (M) times a Constant (the specific heat of water) times the Delta T (fluid temp out minus fluid temp in): Q = M x C x Delta T In other words, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.
