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

In order to gain one pound of body weight, the average person must consume 3500 more calories
Fed [463]

Answer:

<em>17500 calories</em> of chocolate bars are needed to eat to gain 5 pounds.

Explanation:

We can use ratios to calculate the answer using the information given in the question.

1 pound : 3500 grams

5 pounds : x grams

As it is given that the individual is burning no calories, we do not have to factor in any additional numbers.

<u><em>Method</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>:</em></u>

To go from 1 in the first ratio to 5 in the second ratio, they multipled 1 by 5. Hence, to go from 3500 in the first ratio to x in the second ratio, we must multiply by 5.

x = 3500 × 5

x = 17500

<em><u>Method B</u>:</em>

To solve for the answer x, we can convert the ratios into fractions.

1 / 5 = 3500 / x

3500 / x = 1 / 5

To make x the subject, multiply the denominator of the left fraction with the numerator of the right fraction and place it on the left side. Then multiply the numerator of the left fraction with the denominator of the right fraction and place it on the right side.

x = 5 × 3500

x = 17500

When 1 mole of CO(g) reacts with H2O(l) to form CO2(g) and H2(g) according to the following equation, 2.80 kJ of energy are abso
Inga [223]
Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ

Explanation

Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.

The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ

Hope this helps:)
