Explanation of the strategy: 1) calculate the mass of water and convert to number of moles, 2) convert the mass of anhydrous CuSO4 to moles, and, 3)calculate the mole ratio of water to CuSO4 anhydrous

1) Calculate the mass of water:

mass of water = mass of the hydrate CuSO4 - mass of the anhydrous compound

mass of water = 12.98 g - 9.70 g = 3.28g

2) Calculate the number of moles of water

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of water = 18.01 g/mol

number of moles of water = 3.28 g / 18.01 g/mol = 0.182 mol

3) Calculate the number of moles of CuSO4 anhydrous

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of Cu SO4 = 159.6 g/mol

number of moles of CuSO4 = 9.70g / 159.6 g/mol = 0.0608 moles

4) Calculate the ratio moles of water / moles of CuSO4

ratio = moles of water / moles of CuSO4 = 0.182 / 0.0608 = 2.99 ≈ 3

Therefore the molecular formula is CuSO4 . 3H2O

Name: copper(II) sulfate trihydrate.

The solution follows as;

Given:

CuSO4 – 9.70 (weight)

Water / H2O – 12.98 – 9.70 = 3.28 (weight)

Molecular weight of CuSO4 – 160

Molecular weight of H2O – 18

 

To solve;

= weight of CuSO4 x MW of CuSO4

= 970 / 160

= 328/x*18

= 6x = 18

= x – 3

= CuSO4*3H2O

his is the chemical formula for epinephrine (the main ingredient in adrenaline): C9H13O3N A biochemist has determined by measure
Len [333]

Answer:

3.67 moles of N

Explanation:

The epinephrine's chemical formula is: C₉H₁₃O₃N

We were told that a chemist found that in a mesaure of epinephrine, he found 33 moles of C

We must know that 9 moles of C are in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N so, let's make a rule of three:

If 9 moles of C are found in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N

Therefore 33 moles of C must be found in (33 .1) / 9 = 3.67 moles of C₉H₁₃O₃N

There is a second rule of three, then.

In 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N we have 1 mol of N

Then, 3.67 moles C₉H₁₃O₃N must have (3.67 . 1) / 1 = 3.67 moles of N

Remember 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N has 9 moles of C, 13 moles of H, 3 moles of O and 1 mol of N

URGENT.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

1. 72.9 atm

2. 0.43937 K

Explanation:

1. Gray- lussacs law is p1/t1=p2/t2 so we use this formula to figure it out by filling in the variables and solving

p1=45.0 atm

t1=323 K

p2= ?

t2=523 K

Now we fill in this in the formula and solve - 45.0 atm/ 323 K = p2/ 523 K

and now we solve for p2 by multiplying 535k by each side to give us p2

2. Using the same formula we get 10.0atm/? = 12.0 atm/ 273.15 k and we divide both sides by 10.0 atm

One disadvantage of burning propane (C3H8) is that carbon dioxide is one of the products. The released CO2 increases the growing
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

80 MOLES OF WATER ARE PRODUCED WHEN 20 MOLES OF PROPANE ARE BURNED IN EXCESS OXYGEN ON A GAS GRILL.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

C3H8 + 5 O2 --------->  4 H2O + 3 CO2 + Heat

The above equation is in the presence of excess oxygen.

In this reaction,

1 mole of propane forms 4 moles of H2O

If 20 moles of propane were to be used, how many moles of water will be produced?

1 mole of propane = 4 moles of water

20 moles of propane = ( 4 * 20 ) moles of water

= 80 moles of water.

So, if 20 moles of propane were burned in excess oxygen, 80 moles of water will be formed. Propane is heavier than air and when properly combusted produces a large amount of heat. It is also non toxic.

In the force equation, which two variables have a direct relationship? Which two have an indirect/inverse relationship?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

if the dependent and independent variable go up its direct but if one of them goes up and another goes down its indirect

Explanation:

for example the more mass an object has the less speed it has that's indirect but the less salt you add to water the less time you have to wait for it to boil

i hope this was useful
