Answer:
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams
Explanation:
The mass of the hydrated cobalt (III) chloride is the summation of the salt and the water it contains.
This means that:
Total mass of sample = mass of salt + mass of water
Now, we are given that:
total mass of sample = 5.22 grams
mass of salt = mass of sample after heating = 2.85 grams
Substitute to get the mass of water as follows:
5.22 = mass of water in hydrate + 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 5.22 - 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams
Hope this helps :)
Critical Thinking Questions
1. Why do you think forensic scientists are so careful that the tests they do are sensitive, reproducible, and specific? What might happen if they were less careful about this?
They have to be careful to ensure as much accuracy as possible.
2.Which type of evidence do you think is most useful in an investigation? Why?
Physical evidence would probably be most important because it is the best way to connect someone directly with that crime.
3.Why do you think that forensic scientists continue to look for class characteristics given their limitations?
Class characteristics are good in court because it provides details of different aspects of the crime.
Thermal (heat) energy is ur answer mate
Hope it helps
One box is 120g.
mass of 126 boxes = 126*120 = 15120 g
(note: used an additional significant figure when first digit is a 1, so four significant figures)
Using the conversion 1 lb. = 453.6 g/lb
15120g = 15120 g / (453.6 g/lb) = 15120 g * (1/453.6) lb/g = 33.3 lbs. (3 significant figures)
