Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

CuSO₄.5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

Number of moles = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

Volume = 250 x 10⁻³L

Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

Number of moles = 250 x 10⁻³ x 2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O

So 0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16) = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

= 0.5 x 249.6

= 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g

Materials that conduct heat and electricity well in the solid state result when: 1. metals bond with metals 2. any type of eleme

Andre45 [30]

Answer: Metals bond with metals.
Explanation: A metallic bond is a sharing of electrons between many atoms of a metal element. Metallic bonding is when positive ions (metals) are in a 'sea of negative electrons'. The electrons are delocalised, which means they can move around easily and carry charge, and this enables it to conduct electricity, even in a solid state. The big pool of electrons is like a free-for-all in that any valence electron can move to any atom within the material.

We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

A sample of the chiral molecule limonene is 79% enantiopure. what percentage of each enantiomer is present? what is the percent

Degger [83]

Answer : The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

The % of enantiomeric excess = 58%

Explanation : Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the measurement of purity used for chiral substances.

Given,

% of pure limonene enantiomer = The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

Therefore, The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

Formula used :

$\%(+)\text{ isomer}=\frac{ee}{2}+50\%$

Where, ee → enantiomeric excess

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get the value of enantiomeric excess (ee).

${ee}=\frac{\%(+)-50\%}{2}$

$=\frac{79\%-50\%}{2}$

= 58%
