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

ABSOLOTLY NO ROBOTS I AM TIERD OF THEM.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

You have a trait (plant color) and you have two possible outcomes for it (purple and white). You know that some alleles for white were present in one of the parent plants, so you know they must be present in the offspring too. But they're expression is covered up by the purple alleles from the other plant, so you know that purple is dominant to white.

Without doing any calculations, arrange the elements in CF2Cl2 in order of decreasing mass percent composition. Rank from highes
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a. C > F > Cl

Explanation:

We know that atomic mass of Chlorine is greater than of  Florine than that of carbon. Moreover, in CF2Cl2, therefore, there are two atoms of Cl, F and one atom of C. Therefore, in CF2Cl2 in order of decreasing mass percent composition C > F > Cl. Therefore, the correct option is a.
