You are given 1.000 grams of hydrated Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4*XH20). You place it into a crucible and heat it up past 100 C so

that the water evaporates from the hydrated salt. Once you are done, the mass of the dry anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate is 0.488 grams.
How many molecules of water are attached to each atom of Magnesium?

Answer:

MgSO4. 7H2O

There are seven water molecules attached to the hydrated salt.

Explanation:

From the equation;

Number of moles of hydrated salt = number of moles of anhydrous salt, we obtain:

Mass of hydrated salt/ molar mass of hydrated salt = mass of anhydrous salt/ molar mass of anhydrous salt

From the question;

Mass of hydrated salt = 1.000g

Molar mass of hydrated salt = 120.366 +18x gmol-1

Mass of anhydrous salt= 0.488g

Molar mass of anhydrous salt= 120.366 gmol-1

Substituting into the equation above;

1.000/120.366 +18x = 0.488/120.366

1.000/120.366 +18x = 0.004

1.000= 0.004 (120.366 +18x)

1.000= 0.48 + 0.072x

1.000 - 0.48 = 0.072x

0.52= 0.072x

x= 0.52/0.072

x=7

Therefore the hydrated salt is MgSO4. 7H2O

What is the mass, in grams, of 50.0L of N2 at STP?
vodka [1.7K]

Hey there!:

Molar mass N₂ = 28.0134 g/mol

28.0134 g ------------------- 22.4 L (at STP )

mass  N₂ -------------------- 50.0 L

mass N₂ = 50.0 x 28.0134 / 22.4

mass N₂ = 1400.67 / 22.4

mass N₂ = 62.529 g

Hope this helps!

Describe the progress of the formation of an ionic bond in terms of electrons
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

How many grams of NaOH are produced from 1.20 x 10^2 of Na2O
oksian1 [2.3K]
Write an balance the equation

Na2O + H2O -> 2 NaOH

Calculate the molecular mass of Na2O and NaOH from the atomic mass from the periodic table.

Na = 23
O=16
H=1

Na2O = 23 * 2 + 16 = 62
NaOH = 23+16+1= 40

For the stoichiometry of the reaction one mole of Na2O = 62g produce two mol of NaOH = 2* 40= 80 g

120 g Na2O x 80g NaOH / 62g Na2O=

154.8 g NaOH
