What is the percentage of water in the hydrate CoCl2 • 6H2O? Can someone help me with this one?

1 answer:

7 0

Okay, to do this you have to work with the relative molecular mass (RMM). You can get this from looking at the periodic table.

The RMM for the whole molecule is:
58.933 + (2 x 35.453) + (12 x 1.008) + (6 x 15.9994) = 237.96

Then you work out the RMM for water:
(2 x 1.008) + 15.9994 = 18.0154

As there are 6 moles of water in this molecule then multiply the RMM of H2O by 6 = 108.0924

Finally, divide the total H2O RMM by the total molecule RMM and multiply by 100 to get a percentage:
(108.0925 / 237.96) x 100 = 45.42%

natulia [17]

Answer:

B) sand

Explanation:

A) Oil is a wrong choice because it is a liquid not a solid and also if it is oil, it will float over the water surface as a droplets.

B) Sand is the right choice, because sand is a solid and it does not dissolve in water and stabilizes at the bottom.

C) Sugar is a wrong choice, because small amount of sugar will dissolve in water and be a homogeneous solution and does not appear as a particles.

D) Wood ships is also a wrong choice, even it is a solid and does not dissolve in water, but it will float over the water surface.

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by $X^{A}_{Z}$

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z

Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.

Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;

1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively.

2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron.

3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.

Question 4 (1 point)

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In an endothermic reaction products are HIGHER than reactants in potential energy and LESS stable.

Explanation:

Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.
