A sample of potassium phosphate octahydrate (K3PO4•8H2O) is heated until 7.93 grams of water are released. How many grams did th

Gekata [30.6K]

The original sample of potassium phosphate octahydrate had a mass of 19.6 grams. When it was heated, it released 7.93 grams of water.

Further Explanation:

For every mole of the compound potassium phosphate octahydrate, there are 8 moles of water of hydration which can be removed from the crystal by heating without altering the chemical composition of the substance.

To determine how much original sample was used, the amount of water released upon heating may be used as well as the mole ratio of the water of hydration with the compound itself following the steps below:

Convert mass of water released to moles.
Use the mole ratio of water of hydration to the compound (8 mol water for every mol of potassium phosphate octahydrate) to get the moles of original sample.
Convert the moles of original sample to grams.

STEP 1: Convert 7.93 g water to moles.

$moles \ of\ H_{2}O \ = 7.93 \ g \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ H_{2}O}{18.00 \ g \ H_{2}O})\\\boxed {moles \ of \ H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol}$

STEP 2: Calculate the moles of original sample using the mole ratio: 1 mol K3PO4 8H2O : 8 mol H2O.

$moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ }{8 \ mol \ H_{2}O})\\\\\boxed {moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.0551 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Convert the moles of original sample to mass.

$mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O = 0.0551 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ (\frac{356.3885 \ g}{1 \ mol\ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O})\\ mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 19.637 \ g$

Following the significant figures of the given, the final answer should be:

$\boxed {mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O = 19.6 \ g}$

12.<br>Contrast and compare:<br>a) ionic and covalent bonding

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Ionic bonds - an intramolecular force exist in a nonmetal and metal compounds such as NaCl. The Na donate 1 electon to Cl to complete its octet rule.

Covalent bond - an intramolecular force exist in a nonmetal and nonmetal compounds such as bonds O2, Cl2, CO2, sugar, proteins and most of organic compounds and biomolecules by sharing electrons to bond.

There are two types of covalent bonds: polar and nonpolar. Polar bond is a bond between two different nonmetal atoms of different electronegativities. While nonpolar bond is a bond between the same atom or two differenct atoms of the same electronegativities (if there is). Their electronegativities pull will cancel so that their overall polarity is zero.
