A hydrated form of copper sulfate (CuSO4·x H2O) is heated to drive off all the water. If we start with 8.79 g of hydrated salt a

nd have 6.57 g of anhydrous CuSO4 after heating, find the number of water molecules associated with each CuSO4 formula unit.

Answer:

3 water molecules

Explanation:

The molar ratio between CuSO₄ and H₂O needs to be calculated.

The mass of water that was removed by heating is calculated, then converted to moles. The molecular weight of water is 18.02g/mol.

(8.97 g - 6.57 g) = 2.22 g H₂O

(2.22 g)/(18.02g/mol) = 0.1232 mol H₂O

The moles of anhydrous copper sulfate are calculated. The molecular weight is 159.609 g/mol

(6.57 g)/(159.609 g/mol) = 0.04116 mol CuSO₄

Now the molar ratio between CuSO₄ and H₂O can be calculated:

0.1232 mol H₂O ÷ 0.04116 mol CuSO₄ = 3 H₂O / CuSO₄

How many pounds in a 3.00 l bottle of drinking water?
slava [35]

Answer:

             6.61 Pounds

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate Mass of Water as;

                        Density  =  Mass  ÷  Volume

Solving for Mass,

                        Mass  =  Density  ×  Volume   ------ (1)

As,

                        Density of Water  =  1 g.cm⁻³

And,

                        3 L of Water  =  3000 cm³

Putting values in equation 1,

                        Mass  =  1 g.cm⁻³  × 3000 cm³

                        Mass  =  3000 g

Step 2: Convert Grams into Pounds;

As,

                        1 Gram  =  0.002204 Pounds

So,

                        3000 Grams  =  X Pounds

Solving for X,

                      X =  (3000 Grams  ×  0.002204 Pounds)  ÷  1 Gram

                      X =  6.61 Pounds

An electric current can be conducted by _____. a sugar solution rubbing alcohol methane gas a salt solution
VMariaS [17]

The answer is salt water.

Salt water can conduct electricity or we can say that an electric current is conducted by salt water as salt water is a good conductor of electricity when salt that is sodium chloride or NaCl is dissolved in water , positively charged sodium (Na⁺) and negatively charged chlorine(Cl⁻) molecules are set apart by the water molecule so that they can float easily and freely. We can define the conductivity of a substance as the mobility or movement of ions. So as in water, sodium and chlorine are set apart and can move freely so it become a electrolyte that can conduct electricity.
