A sample of hydrated copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4•nH2O) is heated to 150°C and produces 103.74 g anhydrous copper (II) sulfate and

58.55 g water. How many moles of water molecules are present in 1.0 mol of hydrated copper (II) sulfate?

Answer:

5

Explanation:

Firstly, we convert what we have to percentage compositions.

There are two parts in the molecule, the sulphate part and the water part.

The percentage compositions is as follows:

Sulphate- (103.74)/(103.74 + 58.55) × 100% = apprx 64%

The water part = 100 - 64 = 36%

Now, we divide the percentages by the molar masses.

For the CuSO4 molar mass is 64 + 32 + 4(16) = 160g/mol

For the H2O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Now we divide the percentages by these masses

Sulphate = 64/160 = 0.4

Water = 36/18 = 2

The ratio is thus 0.4:2 = 1:5

Hence, there are 5 water molecules.

PO4 anion has a 3- charge.A sodium cation , has a 1+ charge.Now , you have to think how many Na ions you need to fully neutralize the PO4 's 3- charge. Answer 3. That's because a molecule must have a neutral charge (a 0 charge). 3+(-3)=0.So , sodium phosphate has the formula Na3PO4.

Trace amounts of sulfur (S) in coal are burned in the presence of diatomic oxygen (O2) to form sulfur dioxide (SO2). Determine t
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

0.99 kg O₂

1.9 kg SO₂

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between sulfur and oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.

S + O₂ → SO₂

The mass ratio of S to O₂ is 32.07:32.00. The mass of oxygen required to react with 1 kg of sulfur is:

1 kg S × (32.00 kg O₂/32.07 kg S) = 0.998 kg O₂

The mass ratio of S to SO₂ is 32.07:64.07. The mass of sulfur dioxide formed when 1 kg of sulfur is burned is:

1 kg S × (64.07 kg SO₂/32.07 kg S) = 1.99 kg SO₂

Ethanol (c2h6o) is a common intoxicant and fuel produced from the fermentation of various grains. how many moles of ethanol are
Lynna [10]
n = m / M

Where, n is moles of the compound (mol), m is the mass of the compound (g) and M is the molar mass of the compound (g/mol)

Here, the given ethanol mass = 50.0 kg = 50.0 x 10³ g

Molar mass of the ethanol = (12 x 2 + 1x 6 + 1 x 16) g/mol
                                          = 46 g/mol

Hence, moles in 50.0kg of ethanol = 50.0 x 10³ g / 46 g/mol
                                                        = 1086.96 mol

A sample of xenon gas occupies a volume of 6.80 L at 52.0°C and 1.05 atm. If it is desired to increase the volume of the gas sam
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

207.03°C

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 (initial volume) = 6.80 L

T1 (initial temperature) = 52.0°C = 52 + 273 = 325K

P1 (initial pressure) = 1.05 atm

V2 (final volume) = 7.87 L

P2 (final pressure) = 1.34 atm

T2(final temperature) =?

Using the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the final temperature of the gas sample can be obtained as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1.05 x 6.8/325 = 1.34 x 7.87/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

1.05 x 6.8 x T2 = 325 x 1.34 x 7.87

Divide both side by 1.05 x 6.8

T2 = (325 x 1.34 x 7.87) /(1.05 x 6.8)

T2 = 480.03K

Now, let us convert 480.03K to a number in celsius scale. This is illustrated below:

°C = K - 273

°C = 480.03 - 273

°C = 207.03°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the gas will be 207.03°C
