Answer: Strictly a laboratory analysis and can only be done using the data obtained during analysis
Explanation:
To find a solution to this problem, you need to use the data collected during the lab work. A guide could be finding the possible forms of hydrated copper chlorides in reference books. Since it's also a lab work, you can definitely compare your data with lab mates.
The formula CuxCly.zH₂O and its name chloride hydrate already gives you an idea of the possibilities of the value of the integers, hence you can take a good guess for the identity of the unknown salt and calculate the theoretical formular weight for it. From the that you can proceed to also find the mass of water and copper from your lab analysis.
Answer:
Never pour water into acid but acid into water
Explanation:
If water is poured into extremely concentrated acid/bases, the rate of volatility and exothermic reaction is too rapid and might cause a chemical eruption, leading to acid burns.
Safety precautions hence dictate the reverse is practiced.
I believe this is a clear answer.
