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?
Chemistry

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.

1. How many ATOMS of carbon are present in 7.48 grams of carbon monoxide ?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 1.61 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

To determine number of atoms, we will use the formula below

Number of atoms = number of moles (n) × avogadro's constant (6.02 x 10²³)

n was not provided, hence we will solve for n

n = mass/ molar mass

molar mass of carbon monoxide, CO (where C is 12 and O is 16) is 12 + 16 = 28

mass was provided in the question as 7.48

n = 7.48/28

n = 0.267

Hence,

number of atoms = 0.267 × 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.61 × 10²³ atoms

8. Bring the balloon in contact with the wall. What happens to the charges in the wall?
Ne4ueva [31]

When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall. Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.

<u>Explanation</u>:  

  • Balloons don't stick to walls. However, if you rub the balloon on an appropriate piece of material such as clothing or a wall, electrons are pulled from the other material to the balloon.
  • The balloon now as more electrons than normal and therefore has an overall negative charge. Two balloons like this will repel each other.
  • The other material now has an overall positive charge. Because opposite charges attract, the balloon will now appear to stick to the other material. If you didn't rub the balloon first, it's charge would be neutral and it wouldn't stick to the wall.
