A student performs an experiment to find the percentage of water in a hydrate. He determines that the hydrate contains 22% water

, but the teacher tells him that it actually contains 40% water. What error may have caused him to obtain this low value?

Stels [109]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A feasible error could have been the removal of the sample before all water evaporated.

Explanation:

In order to determine the percentage of water in an hydrate, an experiment that could be performed is the heating of the sample until the mass does not change. If the student heated the sample an insufficient amount of time, water will be present in the sample, thus reducing the percentage reported.

A sample of argon initially has a volume of 5.0 L and the pressure is 2 atm. If the final temperature is 30° C, the final volume
lbvjy [14]
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.

What mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?
shtirl [24]
The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24  molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass *  number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.

Calculate the pH during the titration of 30.00 mL of 0.1000 M HCOOH(aq) with 0.1000 M NaOH(aq) after 29.3 mL of the base have be
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

3.336.

Explanation:

<em>Herein, the no. of millimoles of the acid (HCOOH) is more than that of the base (NaOH).</em>

<em />

So, <em>concentration of excess acid = [(NV)acid - (NV)base]/V total</em> = [(30.0 mL)(0.1 M) - (29.3 mL)(0.1 M)]/(59.3 mL) = <em>1.18 x 10⁻³ M.</em>

<em></em>

<em> For weak acids; [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em> = √(1.8 x 10⁻⁴)(1.18 x 10⁻³ M) = <em>4.61 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>

∵ pH = - log[H⁺].

<em>∴ pH = - log(4.61 x 10⁻⁴) = 3.336.</em>
