Answer:

The presence of the contaminant increases the total mass.

And on continuous heating to remove the volatile impurities, the hydrated salt gets overheated and the anhydrous salt gets thermally decomposed thereby producing a gas.

The heating leads to the formation or release of a gas which leads to loss of a higher percentage of mass from the compound making the mass percent of water in the hydrated salt too high and the mass of the anhydrous salt remaining in the crucible too low.

Hydrated Salt            ⇒    Anhydrous salt         +       Water hydration

(C_{u}SO_{4} . 5H_{2}O)_{(s)}                (C_{u}SO_{4})_{(s)}                                 (5H_{2}O)_{(g)}

Answer:

The percentage mixture of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in between the 45% and 70%.

Explanation:

Potassium prop oxide is the intermediate base as compared to the potassium hydroxide which is less bulky strong base and potassium tert-butoxide which is bulky base. Bulky base can minimize the substitution reaction by causing hinders the approach of carbon attack and KOH is the strong base which less effective in minimizing the substitution reaction.

What makes a substance pure?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.
