Answer:

The answer to your question is  MgSO₄ 5H₂O

Explanation:

Data

mass of MgSO₄ = 2.86 g

mass of H₂O = 2.14 g (5 - 2.86)

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the compounds

MgSO₄ = 24 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 120

H₂O = 16 + 2 = 18

2.- Convert the grams obtain to moles

                        120 g of MgSO₄  --------------- 1 mol

                         2.8 g                  ----------------  x

                         x = (2.8 x 1)/120

                        x = 0.024 moles

                         18 g of H₂O --------------------- 1 mol

                         2.14 g           -------------------- x

                         x = (2.14 x 1)/18

                         x = 0.119

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

MgSO₄  = 0.024/0.024 = 1

H₂O = 0.119/ 0.024 = 5

4.- Write the molecular formula

                   MgSO₄5H₂O

What is true regarding the calculation in redox titration? group of answer choices moles of the oxidant equal mole of the reduct
SVEN [57.7K]

Moles of titrant are lost in the calculation in redox titration.

"The process of calculating the quantity of a material A by adding measured increments of substance B, the titrant, with which it reacts until exact chemical equivalency is obtained (the equivalence point)" is the definition of titration.

The equivalence point, or the point at which chemically equivalent amounts of the reactants have been combined, is to be detected by the titration. The stoichiometry of the reaction determines how many reactants have been combined at the equivalence point.

Titration, commonly referred to as titrimetry, is a method of chemical qualitative analysis used to determine the concentration of a certain analyte in a mixture. In the realm of analytical chemistry, titration is a crucial technique.

Nitrogen dioxide is used industrially to produce nitric acid, but it contributes to acid rain and photochemical smog. What volum
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L

Explanation:

The reaction of nitric acid with copper is:

Cu(s) + 4HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Moles of copper are:

4.95cm^3\frac{8.95g}{1cm^3} \frac{1mol}{63.55g} = 0.697 moles

Moles of nitric acid are:

230mL\frac{1.42g}{mL} \frac{68g}{100g} \frac{1mol}{63.01g}=3.52moles

As 1 mol of Cu reacts with 4 moles of HNO₃:

0.697 mol Cu × (4mol HNO₃ / 1mol Cu) = 2.79 moles of HNO₃ will react. That means Cu is limiting reactant.

Moles of NO₂ produced are:

0.697 mol Cu × (2mol NO₂ / 1mol Cu) = <em>1.394 moles of NO₂</em>

Using PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure (735torr / 760 = 0.967atm); n are moles (1.394mol); R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK); T is temperature (28.2°C + 273.15 = 301.35K). </em>

Thus, volume is:

V = nRT / P

V = 1.394mol×0.082atmL/molK×301.35K / 0.967atm

V = 35.6L

<em>The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L</em>

Define physical properties then give 3 examples. <br> no copy write, please.
Svetach [21]

Answer:

A physical property is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition.Examples of physical properties include density, color, hardness, melting and boiling points, and electrical conductivity. We can observe some physical properties, such as density and color, without changing the physical state of the matter observed.
