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) Find the gas speed of sulfur dioxide at 100.0 degrees Celsius? ______________
gtnhenbr [62]

a. 381.27 m/s

b. the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triiodide

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T = 100 + 273 = 373 K

Required

a. the gas speedi

b. The rate of effusion comparison

Solution

a.

Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)  

\large {\boxed {\bold {v_ {rms} = \sqrt {\dfrac {3RT} {Mm}}}}

R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles  

From the question  

R = 8,314 J / mol K  

T = temperature  

Mm = molar mass, kg / mol  

Molar mass of Sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol = 0.064 kg/mol

\tt v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 373}{0.064} }\\\\v=381.27~m/s

b. the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:  

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

M₁ = molar mass sulfur dioxide = 64

M₂ =  molar mass nitrogen triodide = 395

\tt \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{395}{64} }=\dfrac{20}{8}=2.5

the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triodide

The following substances dissolve when added to water. Classify the substances according to the strongest solute-solvent interac
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

CuCl2-Ion-dipole forces

CuSO4-Ion-dipole forces

NH3-Dipole-dipole forces

CH3OH-Dipole-dipole forces

Explanation:

Water consists of a dipole. The water molecule contains a positive end and a negative end. The positive ion attracts the negative dipole of water while the positive dipole in water interacts with the negative ion of an ionic substance. This explains the dissolution of ionic substances in water.

Copper II chloride and copper sulphate are ionic substances hence they dissolve by the mechanism described above.

Molecules consisting of dipoles dissolves by interaction of the molecule's dipoles with the dipoles in water. For example, methanol interacts with water through hydrogen bonding which is involves molecular dipoles
