Answer:

20.91% of the hydrated calcium sulfate salt is water

Explanation:

<u>Step1</u> : Calculate the mass of H2O that evaporated

A hydrated salt has a mass of 1.803g. After heating at 170° C, this means water will evaporate, the mass of the salt is 1.426g

The difference is water that evaporated.

⇒Mass H2O of hydration =1.803 g - 1.426g g = 0.377 g H2O

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the % of water in the hydrated calcium sulfate salt

⇒ mass of H2O = 0.377g

⇒ mass of calcium sulfate salt = 1.803g

⇒ % water in the calcium sulfate salt = (0.377 / 1.803) x 100% = 20.91%

20.91% of the hydrated calcium sulfate salt is water

In an experiment, a 0.5297 g sample of diphenylacetylene (C14H10) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is
V125BC [204]

Answer:

the Molar heat of  Combustion  of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = -6.931 *10^3 \ kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) = 0.5297 g

Molar Mass of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) = 178.21 g/mol

Then number of moles of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = \frac{mass}{molar \ mass}

= \frac{0.5297  \ g }{178.24 \  g/mol}

= 0.002972 mol

By applying the law of calorimeter;

Heat liberated by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = Heat absorbed by H_2O + Heat absorbed  by the calorimeter

Heat liberated  by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  =  msΔT + cΔT

= 1369 g  × 4.184 J g⁻¹°C⁻¹ × (26.05 - 22.95)°C + 916.9 J/°C (26.05 - 22.95)°C

= 17756.48 J + 2842.39 J

= 20598.87 J

Heat liberated by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = 20598.87 J

Heat liberated by 1 mole of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) will be = \frac{20598.87 \ J}{0.002972 \ mol}

= 6930979.139 J/mol

= 6930.98 kJ/mol

Since heat is liberated ; Then, the Molar heat of  Combustion  of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = -6.931 *10^3 \ kJ/mol

What volume of a 2.25 M sodium chloride solution will contain 4.58 moles of sodium chloride
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Option E. 2.04 L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity of NaCl = 2.25 M

Mole of NaCl = 4.58 moles

Volume =..?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the solution as follow:

Molarity = mole /Volume

2.25 = 4.58/volume

Cross multiply

2.25 x volume = 4.58

Divide both side by 2.25

Volume = 4.58/2.25

Volume = 2.04 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 2.04 L
