Explanation:

In chemistry, water(s) of crystallization or water(s) of hydration are water molecules that are present inside [crystal]s. Water is often incorporated in the formation of crystals from aqueous solutions. ... Water of crystallization can generally be removed by heating a sample but the crystalline properties are often lost

Nonmetals gain electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be gaine

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.

The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.

Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron

In an experiment, 34.8243g of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O was heated to a constant mass of 27.0351g. Calculate th

Leto [7]

Answer:

1) The mass of water lost = 7.7892 grams

2) Z = 3: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O = 34.8243 grams

Mass of substance after heating = 27.0351 grams

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

The mass of water is the mass lost after heating.

Mass water = 34.8243 - 27.0351 = 7.7892 grams of water

Step 3: Calculate moles of Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = Mass Cu(NO3)2 / Molar mass Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 27.0351 grams / 187.56 g/mol

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 0.144 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 7.7892 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.432 moles

Step 5: Calculate Z

z = moles H2O / moles Cu(NO3)2

Z = 0.432/0.144

Z = 3

This means we have 3 water molecules in the formula. This makes the formula ofthe hydrate: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Which atom or ion is the largest? A.K B. K+ C. Ca D. Ca2+ E. Li

lapo4ka [179]

Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge (Al 3 +) is the smallest, and the ion with the smallest nuclear charge (N 3−) is the largest. The neon atom in this isoelectronic series is not listed in Table 2.8.3, because neon forms no covalent or ionic compounds and hence its radius is difficult to measure.
