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

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction between silicon dioxide and carbon at high temperature is given as:

SiO_2+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

1 mole silicon dioxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon to give 1 moles of silicon carbide and 2 moles of carbon monoxide.

Mass of SiC = 3.00kg = 3000.00 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molecular mass of SiC = 40 g/mol

Moles of SiC = \frac{3000.00 g}{40 g/mol}= 75 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of SiC is produced from 1 mole of silicon dioxide.

Then 75 moles of SiC will be produce from:

\frac{1}{1}\times 75 mol=75 mol of silicon dioxide.

mass of 75 moles of silicon dioxde:

75 mol\times 60 g/mol=4500 g=4.5 kg

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.

What is the economic importance of phosphorus in Canada or elsewhere in the world?
vladimir1956 [14]

white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )
