Manganese sulfate forms a pale pink hydrate with the formula MnSO 4 ⋅ n H 2 O ( s ) . If this hydrate is heated to a high enough

temperature, H 2 O ( g ) can be driven off, leaving the grey‑white anhydrous salt MnSO 4 ( s ) . A 16.260 g sample of the hydrate was heated to 300 ∘ C . The resulting MnSO 4 ( s ) had a mass of 14.527 g . Calculate the value of n in MnSO 4 ⋅ n H 2 O ( s ) .

Answer:

Value of n in MnSO₄.nH₂O is one.

Explanation:

The n represents the number of moles of water attached to the formula unit manganese sulfate. These moles (n) can be determined by taking the ratio of the moles of anhydrous salt and the moles of water. The moles of water can be determined by taking the difference of final and initial mass of the salt. This difference is equal to the mass of the water, mathematically it can be represented as,

Mass of H₂O = initial mass of the salt (g) - final mass of the salt (g)

Mass of H₂O = 16.260 g - 14.527 g

Mass of H₂O = 1.733 g

moles of H₂O = (1.733 g) ÷ (18.015 g/mole)

moles of H₂O =  0.0962

For the moles of anhydrous salt:

moles of MnSO₄ = mass of MnSO₄ ÷ molar mass of MnSO₄

moles of MnSO₄ = 14.5277 ÷ 151.001

moles of MnSO₄= 0.0962

Now for n:

n = moles of water ÷ moles of MnSO₄

n = 0.0962 ÷ 0.0962

n = 1

The above calculations show that one mole of H₂O is attached to the  one formula unit of MnSO₄

6. Which specific processes in the rock cycle occur beneath the Earth's surface?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Under the earth's surface, rocks melt, metamorphize, and crystalize.

Explanation:

Metamorphic and Igneous rocks are basically dependant on the heat/pressure of the environment under the surface :) Melting, metamorphosing and crystallization all occur under earth's surface.

If the vapor's volume were to be incorrectly recorded as 125ml, how will this error affect the calculated molar mass of the unkn
pishuonlain [190]
Since you didn't give the actual volume (or any of the experimental values) I can only tell you how to do it. Do the calculation using the real (determined) volume of the flask. Then, re-do the calculation with v = 125ml. Take the two values and calculate % error; m = measured vol; g = guessed vol. 

<span>[mW (m) - mW (g)]/mW (m) x 100% </span>

<span>(they want % error so, if it is negative, just get rid of the sign) </span>

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia
raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.
