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 moles are in 91.5 grams of Helium?
konstantin123 [22]

In order to find the number of moles with a given mass of Helium, we need to use its molar mass, which is 4.0026g/mol, therefore we will have:

4.0026g = 1 mol of Helium

91.5g = x moles of Helium

x = 22.86 moles of Helium in 91.5 grams

2. Chromium+oxygen - chromium(III) oxide <br>balanced​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Explanation:

Information from the question include:

Chromium + oxygen -> chromium(III) oxide

From the word equation given above, the equation can be written as follow:

Cr + O2 —> Cr2O3

The equation can be balance by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Cr2O3 and 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now, we have 4 atoms of Cr on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Cr as shown below:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now the equation is balanced

The current scientific verdict on the phlogiston theory demonstrates which two of the following principles?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The two valid principles are:

  • Scientific theories can be replaced by better theories.
  • An experiment can disprove a theory that scientists have accepted.

Explanation:

The scientific knwoledge is not inmutable; it may (and does) change with new discoveries.

In fact, scientific theories cannot be proved right, instead they are constantly tested to try to  disprove them. This is what the principle that theories are falsiable means.

As long as a scientific theory is not disproved it remains valid, but new discoveries may lead, eventually, to its disprovement.

Scientific knowledge evolves because new procedures, new technologies, and new evidence leads to a better understanding and better explanations.
