A student has a 2.123 g sample of a hydrated salt. she heats it to drive off all the water. after heating to constant mass, the

salt weighs 1.861 g. the anhydrous salt is copper(ii) phosphate. what is the empirical formula of the hydrated salt?

The mass of hydrated salt - 2.123 g
mass of anhydrous salt - 1.861 g
mass that has been reduced is the mass of water that has been heated and lost from the compound thereby making the salt anhydrous.
therefore mass of water lost - 2.123 - 1.861 = 0.262 g
number of moles of water lost - 0.262 g / 18 g/mol = 0.0146 mol 
number of moles of salt - 1.861 g / 380.6 g/mol = 0.00490 mol 
molar ratio of moles of water to moles of salt 
molar ratio = 0.146 mol / 0.00490 mol = 2.98 rounded off to 3
for every 1 mol of salt there are 3 moles of water
therefore empirical formula - Cu₃(PO₄)₂.3H₂O

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with italian dressing. the italian dressing contains 13% vinegar. the chef wants to make 150 mi
charle [14.2K]
To determine the volume of both concentration of vinegar, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns. 

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 100% vinegar + mass of 13% vinegar = mass of 42% vinegar

Assuming they have the same densities, then we can write this equation in terms of volume.

V(100%) + V(13%) = V(42%)
   we let x = V(100%)
             y = V(13%)

x + y = 150

For the second equation, we do a component balance:

1.00x + .13y = 150(.42)
x + .13y = 63

The two equations are
x + y = 150
x + .13y = 63

Solving for x and y,
x = 50
y = 100

Therefore, you need to mix 50 mL of the 100% vinegar and 100 mL of the 13% vinegar.

when propene gas (C3H6) is added to bromine liquid, another liquid is produced which has the formula C3H6Br2. what is the chemic
klio [65]

Answer:

C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

Explanation:

The reaction in which C3H6Br2 (1,2-Dibromopropane) is created is:

  • C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

We can see that the only difference between the product (C3H6Br2) and the known reactant (C3H6) of the reaction is two bromine atoms (Br2). Br2 is diatomic bromine - a molecule we get after combining two bromine atoms. This compound is a red-brown liquid at room temperature, which means that that is the liquid described in your question.
