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

What may be expected when K &gt; 1.0?
lora16 [44]

The two correct statements are:

1. The concentration of one or more of the products is small

2. The reaction will proceed to the right and favor the formation of products.

LeChatelier's Principle states that when a stress is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to counteract the change. A reduction in the number of products cause the system to respond by making more product, which leads to K>1 and products being more favorable.

A sample of a compound is analyzed and found to contain 0.420 g nitrogen, 0.480g oxygen, 0.540 g carbon and 0.135 g hydrogen. Wh
RSB [31]

Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO
