A 1.50-g sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate was heated carefully until it had changed completely to anhydrous copper(II) sulf

ate () with a mass of 0.957 g. Determine the value of x. [This number is called the number of waters of hydration of copper(II) sulfate. It specifies the number of water molecules per formula unit of in the hydrated crystal.]

Answer:

X = 5

Explanation:

Total mass here is 1.5g. Now after heating we have a mass of 0.957g Cu. This means heating had caused a loss of 1.5 - 0.957 = 0.543g of water.

Now, we will try to convert this into moles. This can be done by dividing the respective masses by the molar masses. While the mass of water is 18g/mol, the molar mass of CuSO4 is 160g/mol.

The division of the respective masses by the molar masses is thus:

CuSO4 = 0.957/160 = 0.006 moles

H2O = 0.543/18 = 0.03 moles

The ratios of the moles is thus: 0.03/0.006 = 5

Hence, the number of molecules of water of crystallization is 5

This means x = 5

The atomic number is the number of _____ an atom
ololo11 [35]
The Rutherford–Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1). In this model it is an essential feature that the photon energy (or frequency) of the electromagnetic radiation emitted (shown) when an electron jumps from one orbital to another, be proportional to the mathematical square of atomic charge (Z2). Experimental measurement by Henry Moseley of this radiation for many elements (from Z = 13 to 92) showed the results as predicted by Bohr. Both the concept of atomic number and the Bohr model were thereby given scientific credence. The atomic number is the number of _z_ an atom.

Pie

Answer:

A whale bleeding from a cut.

Explanation:

Shivering in the cold, breathing hard during exercise, and sweating because it's hot are ways the body is working to maintain good functioning and to keep the body alive. Bleeding from a cut is not an example of this.
