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

A solution is 40 cetic acid by mass. the density of this solution is 1.049 g/ml. Calculate the mass of pure acetic acid in 220 m
taurus [48]

The mass of pure acetic acid in 220 ml of the given solution at 20°C is 92.311 g

<h3>What is Acetic acid?</h3>

Acetic acid is a type of carboxylic acid and also known as ethanoic acid

Its formula is CH₃COOH.

It is an organic compound and is a colorless liquid

It is mostly used in the production of vinegar

40 % acetic acid by mass means,

40 g of acetic acid is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

The density of solution at 20°C,

\rho = 1.049 g/ml

We know,

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

V = \frac{m}{\rho}

The volume of the solution, V = \frac{100}{1.049} = 95.33 ml

95.33 ml of solution contains 40 g of pure Acetic acid

220 ml of solution contains\frac{40 \times 220}{95.33} = 92.311 g of pure Acetic acid

Thus, the mass of pure Acetic acid in 220 ml of solution at 20°C is 92.311 g
