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

Tema [17]

Answer:

The disorder is called Respiratory alkalosis

Explanation:

A client with asthma can hyperventilate (excess of O2). This oxygen excess can lead also to a lack of carbon dioxide (CO2) (acid substance) which can causes alkalosis (increasing the pH values in blood and body).

In this medical condition (respiratory alkalosis), the bicarbonate (HCO3-) hosted in the kidneys has a late response, so the  HCO3- level  in the client remains normal.

The PaCO2 (partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide) is low in comparison with normal values so that indicates loss of CO2 in the respiratory system.

If I have 0.070 moles of gas at a pressure of 0.20 atm and at a temperature of 8.00°C,
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

PV=nRT

0.20×v = 0.070×8.00

0.20V= 0.56

0.20v÷0.20v = 0.56÷0.20v

= 2.8

Give the formulas for the following
zubka84 [21]

Li2O

Fe(NO3)3

Al2O3

CuCl2

ZnSO4

All you have to do here is make sure your charges are balanced when you write the compound. For example, Iron (III) has a +3 charge, and nitrate has a -1 charge. You need 3 nitrates to match that charge, hence Fe(NO3)3.
