Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate may be heated to drive off the water of hydration. If 5 g of water are produced, what was the o

riginal weight of the copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 • 5H2O)? CuSO4 • 5H2O → CuSO4 + H2O. The answer given was 13.9g. Can someone explain how this answer is found?

Answer:

13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuSO4•5H2O → CuSO4 + 5H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O heated and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below

Molar mass of CuSO4• 5H2O = 63.5 + 32 + (16x4) + 5(2x1 + 16)

= 63.5 + 32 + 64 + 5(18) = 249.5g/mol

Mass of CuSO4•5H2O from the balanced equation = 1 x 249.5 = 249.5g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 5 x 18 = 90g

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Now, we can determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O needed to produce 5g of H2O. This can be achieved as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Therefore, Xg of CuSO4•5H2O will produce 5g of H2O i.e

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = (249.5 x 5)/90

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = 13.9g

Therefore, 13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O is needed to produce 5g of H2O.

_______________________ turns blood to cherry red and produces a patchy, pinkish color in the lividity of the corpse.a. Carbon m
IgorC [24]

Answer: a. Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

The carbon monoxide gas competes with the oxygen in the blood to occupy the binding affinity of the hemoglobin thus the blood changes it's color to cherry red.

In postmortem lividity, the body becomes discolored due to the effect of flow of blood from the interstitial tissues and suspended under the force of gravity. This can be seen on the dependent parts of the body and the position of body after death. The color of the postmortem lividity depends on the color of the hemoglobin.

In case of carbon monoxide poisoning the color of postmortem lividity appears to be cherry red as color of the hemoglobin is cherry red. Thus cherry red or dark pinkish patches appear in the corpse as lividity.

How much does 200 gallons of water weigh?
Jlenok [28]
To be able to obtain the mass of the given volume of a substance, we need data on its density since it is the mass per volume of a substance. We multiply this value to the given volume. For water, it is approximately <span>10.02 lb/gal.

Mass of water = 200 gal ( 10.02 lb/gal ) = 200.4 lb

Hope this helped.</span>

What is anisotropy.Explain briefly with example.
Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, which implies different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropyAn example of anisotropy is light coming through a polarizer. Another is wood, which is easier to split along its grain than across it.
