Answer:
A. mass X to moles X to moles Y to liters Y
Explanation:
Remember: moles are the great converter. They're basically just a made-up concept meant to facilitate conversions!
Starting with mass X, you must then convert to moles X.
Once you have moles X, convert moles Y. Think of a chemical equation: the mole ratios are the coefficients!
Once you have moles Y, all you have to do is convert to liters Y. You can do this with the molarity equation M = mol/L, or if it's a gas at STP you know the conversion!
The formula of the hydrate = CuSO₄• 3H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
4.175 grams sample CuSO₄• xH₂O
3.120 grams anhydrous compound CuSO₄
Required
The formula
Solution
mass of H₂O driven off :
= 4.175 - 3.12
= 1.055 g
MW CuSO₄ = 159.5 g/mol
MW H₂O = 18 g/mol
mol ratio of CuSO₄ : H₂O :
= 3.12/159.5 : 1.055/18
= 0.01956 : 0.05861
= 1 : 3
Ecological succession is the steady and gradual change in a species of a given area with respect to the changing environment. it is a predictable change and is an inevitable process of nature al all the biotic components have to keep up with the changes in our environment.
