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

When N,N-Dimethylaniline is treated with bromine, ortho and para products are observed. However, when N,N-Dimethylaniline is tre
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To get a better understanding watch the picture attached.

In the case of the reaction with Bromine, the -N(CH₃)₂ is a strong ring activator, therefore, it promotes a electrophilic aromatic sustitution, so, in the mechanism of reaction, the lone pair of the Nitrogen, will move to the ring by resonance and activate the ortho and para positions. That's why the bromine wil go to the ortho and para positions, mostly the para position, because the -N(CH₃)₂ cause a steric hindrance in the ortho position.

In the case of the reaction with HNO₃/H₂SO₄, the acid transform the -N(CH₃)₂ in a protonated form, the anilinium ion, which is a deactivating of the ring, and also a strong electron withdrawing, so, the electrophile will go to the meta position instead.

Hope this helps.

What is an example of kinetic energy at work,1 a ball lodge in the tree, 1 a frisbee flaying in the air, 3 a car in the garage
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a frisbee flaying in the air

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

  • K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
  • M represents mass measured in kilograms.
  • V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Hence, an example of kinetic energy at work is a frisbee flaying in the air because it would possess energy due to its motion in the air.

Why is there not a corresponding drop in ionization energies between Bi and Po in the sixth period as N and O?
Stels [109]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 80, No.8 (2003); "The first ionization energy of bismuth appears to be  anomalous......It has been claimed that spin– orbit coupling by the Russell–Saunders scheme would lower  the ground state of Bi+ ..."

However, the involvement of  d and f orbitals in Bi and Po implies that the outermost orbitals are poorly screened hence the drop between nitrogen and oxygen is not observed between Bi and Po.

The same argument could be extended to explain the reason why  there not a corresponding drop between Ba and Tl is the sixth period even though they are in the same group as Be and B.
