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

(Yield Problem)
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Percent Yield Fe  =  82.5%

Explanation:

The actual yield is the value produced after an experiment is conducted. The theoretical yield is the value calculated using the balanced chemical equation and atomic/molar masses.

To find the percent yield of iron (Fe), you need to (1) convert grams Al to moles Al (via atomic mass), then (2) convert moles Al to moles Fe (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), then (3) convert moles Fe to grams Fe (via atomic mass), and then (4) calculate the percent yield. It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given values.

Atomic Mass (Mg): 24.305 g/mol

Atomic Mass (Fe): 55.845 g/mol

3 Mg + 2 FeCl₃ -----> 2 Fe + 3 MgCl₂

20.5 g Mg           1 mole              2 moles Fe            55.845 g
-----------------  x  -----------------  x  ----------------------  x  -----------------  =  
                           24.305 g           3 moles Mg             1 mole

=  31.4 g Fe

                                     Actual Yield
Percent Yield  =  ----------------------------------  x  100%
                                 Theoretical Yield

                               25.9 g Fe
Percent Yield  =  --------------------  x  100%
                               31.4 g Fe

Percent Yield  =  82.5%

PLS HELP!! it’s science how do waves travel through gas
HACTEHA [7]

By 'waves' do you mean sound waves? If so sound waves need to travel through things like solids, liquids and yup <u>gases. </u>When the waves travel they are vibrating the molecules in the matter. By doing this he molecules in solids are packed very tightly.

What is the molality of an aqueous solution containing FeCl3 (MM = 162.2 g/mol) with a mole fraction of FeCl3 of 0.15?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

10 m

Explanation:

The mole fraction of FeCl₃ of 0.15, that is, per mole of solution, there are 0.15 moles of FeCl₃ and 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 moles of water.

The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.85 moles is:

0.85 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 15 g = 0.015 kg

The molality of FeCl₃ is:

m = moles of solute / kilogram of solvent

m = 0.15 mol / 0.015 kg

m = 10 m

Which of the following has the greatest mass, in grams? 1 atom of lead (Pb) 0.5 mol silver (Ag) atoms 0.3 mol gold (Au) atoms 25
Strike441 [17]

Answer : Option C) 0.3 mol of Gold.

Explanation : Amongst the options given in the question, 0.3 mol of Au is the greatest in mass in grams.

As 0.3 mol X atomic weight of Au (196.966) = 59.088 grams;

Silver has 0.5 mol X atomic weight of Ag (107.86) = 53.93 grams;

The other options are not relevant as they deal in the atomic range which has mass value very less as compared to the moles of elements.

Therefore, it is clear that Au has the greatest mass amongst the given choices.
