The masses can be found by substractions:

  • Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):

16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g

  • Mass of CaSO₄ anhydrate:

15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g

  • The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:

2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g

  • The percent of water is found by the formula:

massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%

0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%

  • The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):

0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water

  • A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)

1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄

  • The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:

0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49

In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O

Well, there is kinetic energy when the object is in motion. But it will stop eventually because that energy is converted into thermal energy, or heat.

belka [17]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Iron (III) oxide and hydrogen react to form iron and water, like this:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 8.9 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of iron(III) oxide, hydrogen, Iron, and water at equilibrium has the following composition.

Compound             Amount

  Fe₂O₃                     3.95 g

     H₂                        4.77 g

     Fe                        4.38 g

    H₂O                      2.00 g

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The value of equilibrium constant for given equation is 1.0\times 10^{-4}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

  • <u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 4.77 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 8.9 L

Putting values in above expression, we get:

\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=\frac{4.77}{2\times 8.9}\\\\\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=0.268M

  • <u>For water:</u>

Given mass of water = 2.00 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 8.9 L

Putting values in above expression, we get:

\text{Molarity of water}=\frac{2.00}{18\times 8.9}\\\\\text{Molarity of water}=0.0125M

For the given chemical equation:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

The expression of equilibrium constant for above equation follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[H_2O]^3}{[H_2]^3}

Concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_{c}=\frac{(0.0125)^3}{(0.268)^3}\\\\K_{c}=1.0\times 10^{-4}

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for given equation is 1.0\times 10^{-4}
