The formula of the hydrate = CuSO₄• 3H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

4.175 grams sample CuSO₄• xH₂O

3.120 grams anhydrous compound CuSO₄

Required

The formula

Solution

mass of H₂O driven off :

= 4.175 - 3.12

= 1.055 g

MW CuSO₄ = 159.5 g/mol

MW H₂O = 18 g/mol

mol ratio of CuSO₄ : H₂O :

= 3.12/159.5 : 1.055/18

= 0.01956 : 0.05861

= 1 : 3

Answer: $4KO_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2K_2CO_3+3O_2$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for reaction of potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and potassium carbonate will be:

$4KO_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2K_2CO_3+3O_2$

If 13.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?

Paul [167]

6.349 g mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Molar mass MgSO₄.7 H₂O = 246.52 g/mol

$Moles =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}$
