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

Answer:

Kp = 0.022

Explanation:

<em>Full question: ...With 2.3 atm of ammonia gas at 32. °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 0.69 atm. </em>

<em />

The equilibrium of ammonia occurs as follows:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{N_2}P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2}

<em>Where P represents partial pressure of each gas.</em>

<em />

As initial pressure of ammonia is 2.3atm, its equilibrium concentration will be:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2X

<em>Where X represents reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Thus, pressure of hydrogen and nitrogen is:

P(N₂) = X

P(H₂) = 3X.

As partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.69atm:

3X = 0.69

X = 0.23atm:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2(0.23atm) = 1.84atm

P(N₂) = 0.23atm

P(H₂) = 0.69atm

Kp = \frac{0.23atm*0.69atm^3}{1.84atm^2}

<h3>Kp = 0.022</h3>
