A hydrate is a compound that has water molecules within its crystal structure. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4·7H2O, is a

hydrated form of magnesium sulfate. The hydrated compound has 7 moles of H2O for each mole of MgSO4. When 5.06 grams of MgSO4·7H2O are heated to at least 300.oC in a crucible by using a laboratory burner, the water molecules are released. The sample was heated repeatedly, until the remaining MgSO4 had a constant mass of 2.47 grams. During this laboratory activity, appropriate safety equipment was used and safety procedures were followed.Explain why the sample in the crucible was heated repeatedly until the sample had a constant mass.

Answer:

We are heating the sample repeatedly to become a pure compound of only MgSO4 (withot H2O) and a constant mass.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MgSO4·7H2O = 5.06 grams

The remaining MgSO4 had a constant mass of 2.47 grams.

Step 2: Explain why the sample in the crucible was heated repeatedly until the sample had a constant mass.

Before heating the compound has magnesium sulfate and water.

The total mass of this compound is 5.06 grams

By heating we try to eliminate the water.

After heating there remain mgSO4 with a mass of 2.47 grams

This means 5.06 - 2.47 = 2.59 grams is water. All of this is eliminated.

The heating process happens repeatedly to make sure the final compound is pure. So the 2.47 grams os only MgSO4. If the mass would not be constant. It means the compound is not pure, the not all the water is eliminated yet.

So we are heating the sample repeatedly to become a pure compound of only MgSO4 (withot H2O) and a constant mass.

Select the best single answer. Which of the following accurately lists compounds in order of increasing solubility in water? LiC
Ann [662]

Answer:

The Correct increasing order of solubility is O2 < Br2 < LiCl < Methanol (CH3OH)

Explanation:

Solubility of compounds or molecules are solely dependent on its inter molecular forces or bonding present in them.

Molecules with Hydrogen bonding usually very soluble in water. Ionic compounds are also very soluble in water because they form ions in solutions. Molecules that possess van der waal forces are usually insoluble in water because they are non-polar.

  • O2 (oxygen gas) and Br2 (bromine gas) have van der waal forces in them. Van der waal forces are stronger in Br2 (bromine gas) than O2 (oxygen gas) because Br2 has more number of electrons.
  • LiCl is ionic in nature which makes it dissolve in water readily. it easily forms its ions (Li+ and Cl- ) in solutions.
  • Methanol (CH3OH) has the highest solubility in water compared to LiCl, Br2 and O2 because it contains Hydrogen bonding which is strongest of all inter molecular forces.
