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

What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g

Approx. <span>3L</span> of dioxygen gas will be evolved.

Explanation:

We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.

Moles of <span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span></span> = <span><span>10.0⋅g</span><span>122.55⋅g⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span></span> = <span>0.0816⋅mol</span>

And thus <span><span>32</span>×0.0816⋅mol</span> dioxygen are produced, i.e. <span>0.122⋅mol</span>.

At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span>.

And thus, volume of gas produced = <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span>×0.0816⋅mol≅3L</span>

Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically <span>Mn<span>O2</span></span>.

Texas ranks __________ among the states in the amount of hazardous waste generated, carbon dioxide emissions, and toxic chemical
Tcecarenko [31]
Texas racked the first spot in the ranking of states that is characterized as the state with the most amount of waste generated, carbon dioxide emissions, generally environmentally toxic wastes being emitted to the atmosphere. This is caused by numerous human activities as well as the chemical plants present in the state.

Convert 0.00200 g into Mg and answer in scientific notation:
Masja [62]

Answer: 2.00x10^{2}

Explanation: 1 gram is equal to 1000 Milligrams so

0.00200g=\frac{1000mg}{1g}

Since you go straight across its just multiplication so 0.00200x1000=200mg

To answer it in scientific notation it should just be 2.00x10^{2} mg
