A hydrate is compound that included water molecules within its crystal structure. During an experiment to determine the percent

by mass of water in a hydrate crystal, a student found the mass of the hydrated crystal to be 6.235g. After heating to constant mass, the mass was 4.90g. What is the percent by mass of water in this crystal? *
22%
21.4%
78.5%
27%

Question:

Options available;

a. 22%

b. 21.4%

c. 78.5%

d. 27%

Answer:

The percentage by mass of water in the crystal is 21.4%

The correct option is;

b. 21.4%

Explanation:

From the question,

The initial mass of hydrate crystal = 6.235 g

Final mass of crystal = 4.90 g

Mass of water molecules displaced = 6.235 g - 4.90 g = g

Percentage by mass of water in the crystal is found from the following relationship;

1.335

Therefore;

Percentage \ by \ mass = \frac{1.335 \ g}{6.235 \ g} \times 100= 21.41  \% \approx 21.4\%

The percentage by mass of water in the crystal = 21.4%.

Answer:

The percent by mass of water in this crystal is:

  • <u>21.4%</u>

Explanation:

This exercise can be easily solved using a simple rule of three where the initial weight of the hydrated crystal (6,235 g) is taken into account as 100% of the mass, and the percentage to which the mass of 4.90 g corresponds (after getting warm). First, the values and unknown variable are established:

  • 6,235 g = 100%
  • 4.90 g = X

And the value of the variable X is found:

  • X = (4.90 g * 100%) / 6,235 g
  • X = approximately 78.6%.

The calculated value is not yet the percentage of the water, since the water after heating the glass has evaporated, therefore, the remaining percentage must be taken, which can be calculated by subtraction:

  • Water percentage = Total percentage - Percentage after heating.
  • <u>Water percentage = 100% - 78.6% = 21.4%</u>

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in
IgorC [24]

Answer:

669.48 kJ

Explanation:

According to the question, we are required to determine the heat change involved.

We know that, heat change is given by the formula;

Heat change = Mass × change in temperature × Specific heat

In this case;

Change in temperature = Final temp - initial temp

                                       = 99.7°C - 20°C

                                       = 79.7° C

Mass of water is 2000 g ( 2000 mL × 1 g/mL)

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

                      = 669,480 joules

But, 1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore, heat change is 669.48 kJ

WILL GIVE 50 POINTS FOR ALL ANSWERS!!! PLEASE HELP!
blondinia [14]

Answer:

the answer would be (A.) and (D.).

Explanation:

the reason for that being is because if calcium sulfate is a main component of plaster of  paris you would need to find out what is in it that makes it the main component aka (the formula) therefore part of the answer is (A.). The other part of the answer was (D.) because you would need to find the amount of calcium sulfate that contain 12 grams of oxegeon atoms because you finding the answer to that could lead to the answer of what is the main component of plaster of Paris.
