The values of x represents that number of moles of water molecules that is present per mole of the salt magnesium sulfate. To determine the value for this, we need to know how much is the water that is lost after heating the sample assuming that all of the water molecules are evaporated leaving only the unhydrated form of the salt. We calculate as follows:
Mass of hydrated salt = 3.484 g
Mass after heating = 1.701 g
Mass lost = 3.484 g - 1.701 g = 1.783 g
The mass lost is equal to the mass of water lost.
Moles water lost = 1.783 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) = 0.0989 mol H2O
Moles of unhydrated salt = 1.701 g ( 1 mol / 120.37 g ) = 0.0141 mol MgSO4
moles water / moles MgSO4 = 0.0989 mol H2O / 0.0141 mol MgSO4 = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7.
Answer:
0.16 moles of Carbon
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation:
+ 
→ 
+ 
↑
The mole ratio of Carbon to Iron is 3 : 4 (since Fe2O3 is in excess)
i.e 3 moles of C produces 4 moles of Fe.
If 1 mole of Fe - 55.8g of Fe
? moles - 11.6g of Fe
= 
= 0.208 moles
But 3 moles of C - 4 moles of Fe
? moles of C - 0.208 moles of Fe
= 
= 0.16 moles of carbon.
I hope this explanation was clear and useful.
