Answer:

a) 7.0.

b) Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.

c) 280.83 g/mol.

d) 44.9%.

Explanation:

a) What is the formula of the hydrate?

The mass of the hydrated sample (NiSO₄.xH₂O) = 5.0 g,

The mass of the anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = 2.755 g,

The mass of water = 5.0 g - 2.755 g = 2.245 g.

∴ no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass = (2.245 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 0.1247 mol.

∴ no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = mass/molar mass = (2.755 g)/(154.75 g/mol) = 0.0178 mol.

∴ water of crystallization in the sample (x) = no. of moles of water/no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = (0.1247 mol)/(0.0178 mol) = 7.0.

b) What is the full chemical name for the hydrate?

The name of the salt (NiSO₄.7H₂O) is Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.

c) What is the molar mass of the hydrate?

(NiSO₄.7H₂O)

The molar mass = molar mass of NiSO₄ + 7(molar mass of H₂O) = (154.75 g/mol) + 7(18.0 g/mol) = 280.83 g/mol.

d) What is the mass % of water in the hydrate?

The mass % of water = (mass of water)/(mass of hydrated sample) x 100 = (2.245 g)/(5.0 g) x 100 = 44.9%.

How can you tell if a electron configuration is ground state or excited state?

scZoUnD [109]

An excited state refers to an atom with electrons at a higher energy level. More than necessary and a ground state is when all atom's electrons are in their lowest orbital possible

chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45. Which of these two isotope

Sliva [168]

Cl-35, as the atomic mass of Chlorine (35.45) is closer to the number 35 than to the number 37. A higher abundance of CL-35 isotope would have caused the atomic number (which is an average of the values of all isotopes of a substances taking relative abundance into consideration) to decrease from 36, which would appear to be the average.

DIRECTIONS: Use the Word Bank to answer the questions below. For questions 2 and 3 circle the correct choice.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

1. Electrons surround the nucleus in defined regions called orbits.

2. The shells further away from the nucleus are larger and can hold more electrons.

3. The shells closer to the nucleus are smaller and can hold less electrons.

4. The closest shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of two electrons.

5. Once the first shell is full, the second shell begins to fill. It can hold a maximum of eight electrons.

6. Once the second shell is full, the third shell begins to fill.

7. Once the third shell contains Eighteen electrons, the fourth shell begins to fill.

8. The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus is referred to as an atom's electronic configuration.

3/4(x-2)=x-1 please answer me

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

-2

Explanation:

3/2 (x-2) = x-1

<=> 3/4 x - 3/2 = x-1

<=> 3/4 x - x = 3/2 -1

<=> -1/4 x =1/2

<=> x= -2
