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

Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top
Zepler [3.9K]

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.


Hope this helped!

Suppose now that you wanted to determine the density of a small crystal to confirm that it is phosphorus. From the literature, y
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

the density of the mixture = 1.82 g/mL

From the density of the pure samples

The density of CHCl_3 = 1.492 g/mL

The density of CHBr_3 = 2.890 g/mL

The total volume of the liquid mixture = 20.0 mL

Suppose the volume of  CHCl_3 = P ml

and the volume of CHBr_3 = Q ml

the sum of their volumes should be equal to the total volume of the mixture

P \ ml + Q \ ml = 20 ml  ----- (1)

However, we know that Density = mass/volume

∴ mass = density × volume

The equation can now be expressed as:

\mathtt{(Density \ of  \ CHCl_3 \times Vol. \ of  \ CHCl_3 ) + (Density  \  of \  CHBr_3  \times \ volume \ of \ CHBr_3)} = \mathtt{ (Density  \ of \ mixture \times volume \ of \ the \ mixture)}

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890 g/mL × Q mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL  ---- (2)

From equation (1) ;

let Q = 20 - P

The replace the value of P into equation (2)

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890g/mL × (20 - P) mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL

1.492 P g + 57.8g - 2.890 P g =  36.4g

1.492 P g - 2.890 P g = 36.4g - 57.8g

-1.398 P g = -21.4g

P = -21.4g/-1.398g

P = 15.31 mL

Q = 20 - P

Q = (20 - 15.31) mL

Q = 4.69 mL

∴

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL

In an electron dot diagram of propane (C3H8), how many double bonds are present?
NeX [460]

Answer:- none

Explanations:- For naming hydrocarbons we use the suffix -ane, -ene and -yne.

-ane is used when we have only single bonds between all carbons. -ene is used if there is any double bond between two carbons and the -yne is used if there is any triple bond between two carbons.

The given name of the compound is propane. It ends at -ane and so it's an alkane and must have single bonds between all the carbons it has. So, there are zero double bonds present in C_3H_8 .

This is also clear from the below lewis dot structure of the compound.
