Hypotheisis is just like an initial building block for a building. The true statements about hypothesis among the given are-
- First guess- hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something which is observed. Thus the explanation is just a guess and not a proved one.
- An initial idea which is assumed to be true - The whole experiment or research is based on an assumption which is supposed to be true and the scientist works to prove that true.
There is only one carbon on the reactant side.
10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl
Explanation:
Step 1: To make Si equal on both sides. put 10 in front of HSiCl3
10 HSiCl3+ H2O →H10Si10O15+ HCl
Step 2: By putting 30 in front of HCl, Cl can be balanced
10 HSiCl3+ H2O →H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl
Step 3: Now, balance O by putting 15 in front of H2O
10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl
Hence the balanced equation is:
10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl
Answer:
5
Explanation:
We can obtain the value of x by doing the following:
Mass of hydrated salt (CuSO4.xH2O) = 1.50g
Mass of anhydrous salt (CuSO4) = 0.96g
Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = 1.50 — 0.96 = 0.54g
Molar Mass of CuSO4.xH2O = 63.5 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 +16) = 63.5 + 32 + 64 + 18x = 159.5 + 18x
Mass of water(xH2O) molecules in the hydrate salt is given by:
xH2O/CuSO4.xH2O = 0.54/1.5
18x/(159.5 + 18x) = 0.36
Cross multiply to express in linear form
18x = 0.36 (159.5 + 18x)
18x = 57.42 + 6.48x
Collect like terms
18x — 6.48x = 57.42
11.52x = 57.42
Divide both side by 11.52
x = 57.42/11.52
x = 5
Therefore, the unknown integer x is 5 and the formula for the hydrated salt is CuSO4.5H2O
