Answer:

1) The mass of water lost = 7.7892 grams

2) Z = 3: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O = 34.8243 grams

Mass of substance after heating = 27.0351 grams

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water

The mass of water is the mass lost after heating.

Mass water = 34.8243 - 27.0351 = 7.7892 grams of water

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = Mass Cu(NO3)2 / Molar mass Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 27.0351 grams / 187.56 g/mol

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 0.144 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 7.7892 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.432 moles

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Z

z = moles H2O / moles Cu(NO3)2

Z = 0.432/0.144

Z = 3

This means we have 3 water molecules in the formula. This makes the formula ofthe hydrate: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Given these reactions, X ( s ) + 1 2 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ XO ( s ) Δ H = − 668.5 k J / m o l XCO 3 ( s ) ⟶ XO ( s ) + CO 2 ( g ) Δ H = +

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1052.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

X(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow XCO_3(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) X(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow XO(s)    \Delta H_1=-668.5kJ

(2) XCO_3(s)\rightarrow XO(s)+CO_2     \Delta H_2=+384.3kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times \Delta H_1]+[1\times (-\Delta H_2)]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-668.5))+(1\times (-384.3))=-1052.8kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1052.8 kJ.
