Construction of dam : scarcity of water for animals
Explanation of the strategy: 1) calculate the mass of water and convert to number of moles, 2) convert the mass of anhydrous CuSO4 to moles, and, 3)calculate the mole ratio of water to CuSO4 anhydrous
1) Calculate the mass of water:
mass of water = mass of the hydrate CuSO4 - mass of the anhydrous compound
mass of water = 12.98 g - 9.70 g = 3.28g
2) Calculate the number of moles of water
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
molar mass of water = 18.01 g/mol
number of moles of water = 3.28 g / 18.01 g/mol = 0.182 mol
3) Calculate the number of moles of CuSO4 anhydrous
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
molar mass of Cu SO4 = 159.6 g/mol
number of moles of CuSO4 = 9.70g / 159.6 g/mol = 0.0608 moles
4) Calculate the ratio moles of water / moles of CuSO4
ratio = moles of water / moles of CuSO4 = 0.182 / 0.0608 = 2.99 ≈ 3
Therefore the molecular formula is CuSO4 . 3H2O
Name: copper(II) sulfate trihydrate.
Electrons, specifically valence electrons
The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.
When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:
H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)
Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:
BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.
