The given mass of cobalt chloride hydrate = 2.055 g
A sample of cobalt chloride hydrate was heated to drive off waters of hydration and the anhydrate was weighed.
The mass of anhydrous cobalt chloride = 1.121 g anhydrate.
The mass of water lost during heating = 2.055 g - 1.121 g = 0.934 g
Converting mass of water of hydration present in the hydrate to moles using molar mass:
Mass of water = 0.934 g
Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol
Moles of water =
This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
The conversion of cyclopropane to propene occurs with a first-order rate constant of 2.42 × 10⁻² hr⁻¹. How long will it take for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from an initial concentration 0.080 mol/L to 0.053 mol/L?
Answer : The time taken will be, 17.0 hr
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial concentration of the reactant = 0.080 M
a - x = concentration left = 0.053 M
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time taken will be, 17.0 hr
