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.

Gnom [1K]
A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups. In building a tree, we organize species into nested groups based on shared derived traits (traits different from those of the group's ancestor).

How many molecules of co2,h2o,c3h8, and o2 will be present if the reaction goes to completion?
Nadya [2.5K]

Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present

The reaction will be

C3H8(g)  + 5O2(g)  ----> 3CO2(g)   + 4H2O

so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2

now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O

Hence answer is

molecules of CO2 formed = 6

Molecules of H2O formed = 8

molecules of C3H8 left = 1

molecules of O2 left = 0
