<span>A) This solution was not basic when it was heated in part 3. ( in part 3 i convertedCu(OH)2 to CuO).
Incorrectly low, because not all copper compounds will precipitate out
B) A slightly blue solution was decanted from Cu in part V. (in part 5 i reduced Cu(H20)6 ions with zink)
Incorrectly low, because some copper were thrown away
C) In part 5 the water in the beaker boiled away, exposing the evaporating dish to excess heat (same as above).
incorrectly high, because other compounds might be present as well </span>
When the reaction equation is:
CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.
to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
when P is the pressure = 1.1 atm
and V is the volume = 14.5 L
n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)
R ideal gas constant = 0.0821
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K
so, by substitution:
1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5
∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)
= 0.68 moles SO2
∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles
so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:
when mass = moles * molar mass
and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol
∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g
The standard atomic weight is the average mass of an element in atomic mass units ("amu"). Though individual atoms always have an integer number of atomic mass units, the atomic mass on the periodic table is stated as a decimal number because it is an average of the various isotopes of an element.
Explanation:
The two ways that energy can be transferred are by doing work and by heat transfer.
