A hydrated blue copper(II) sulfate salt with a formula YCuSO4•XH2O is heated until it is completely white in color. The student

who performed the dehydration of this salt took note of the mass of the sample before and after heating and recorded it as follows: Mass of hydrated salt = 500 g mass of dehydrated salt = 320 g. What is the value of 'X' in the formula of the hydrated cell?

Answer:

X = 5

Explanation:

The molar ratio of water to copper(II) sulfate must be found.

The mass of water that must have been eliminated from the salt is found by the difference in weight before and after:

(500 g) - (320 g) = 180 g water eliminated

The moles of water (MW 18.02 g/mol) is then found:

(180 g) / (18.02g/mol) = 9.9889...mol

The mass of the dehydrated copper(II) sulfate (MW 159.609 g/mol) is converted to moles:

(320 g) / (159.609 g/mol) = 2.004899...mol

The molar proportion of water to the copper(II) sulfate is then calculated:

(9.9889...mol H₂O) / (2.0034899...mol CuSO₄) ≅ 5

How many valence electrons are in Tc
mixer [17]
Tc is Technetium, and it has an atomic number of 43. Its atomic configuration is [Kr] 5s(1) 4d(5) [I'm on my phone so I can't do numbers on shoulders, pretend that 1 and 5 are on the s and d's shoulder]
The outside most ring is the 4d(5), and the d orbital can hold ten electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons, in you could say the outside ring that isn't filled, the extra ones. In this case, there are 5.

Answer:

160.000 años corresponde a 16.000 décadas.

Explanation:

Para resolver correctamente el ejercicio debemos plantear la regla de tres simple de la siguiente manera:

1 década equivale a 10 años; A cuantas decadas equivalen 160.000 años?

1 década→10 años

          x    ←160.000 años

Debemos multiplicar 160.000 por 1 y luego dividir entre 10 ;

x=(\frac{160.000x1}{10})=16.000 décadas; en notación científica sería 16x10^3.

Respuesta: 160.000 años corresponde a 16.000 décadas.
