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

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium $\rm Na$ atom and a chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom: $\rm Na + Cl \to NaCl$ .

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, $\rm Na^{+}$ . The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion $\rm Cl^{-}$ .

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium $\rm Na$ atom transferred an electron to the chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt $\rm NaCl$ is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. what volume of hydrogen chloride

Anna71 [15]

The reaction between methane gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride and carbon tetrachloride, all in their gaseous form can be expressed through the chemical reaction below.

CH₄ + 4Cl₂ --> 4HCl + CCl₄

Let us assume that all the involved gases behaves ideally such that each mole of the gas is equal to 22.4 L.

Through proper dimensional analysis, the volume of the produced hydrogen chloride is calculated,
V(HCl) = (1.69 mL CH₄)(1 L CH₄/ 1000 mL CH₄)(1 mol CH₄/22.4 L CH₄)(4 mols HCl/1 mol CH₄)(22.4 L HCl/1 mol HCl)(1000 mL/1 L)

V(HCl) = 6.76 mL

<em>ANSWER: 6.76 mL</em>

Which of the following statements are true? Significant figures in a measurement are all measured digits, and one estimated digi

Georgia [21]

Answer: Significant figures in a measurement are all measured digits, and one estimated digit

Significant figures communicate the level of precision in measurements Significant figures are an indicator of the certainty in measurements.

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value or the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy or precision is known as significant digits.

The significant figures of a measured quantity are defined as all the digits known with certainty and the first uncertain or estimated digit.

Rules for significant figures:

1. Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

2. All non-zero numbers are always significant.

3. All zero’s between integers are always significant.

4. All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant.

5. All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant.
