A beaker of black powder can be a mixture with different substances (i.e gunpowder: a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, etc.), an element which can probably be carbon (known as black), and a compound as well which can be potassium nitrate. Hence, the answer is D.
N(C): N(H)=n(C): n(H)=6: 10
3×10²¹: x=6: 10
x=5×10²¹
Answer:
Na₂CO₃.2H₂O
Explanation:
For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O
The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.
Given values:
Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g
Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g
Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g
To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹
Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹
Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ =
= 0.03mole
Number of moles of H₂O =
= 0.06mole
From the obtained number of moles:
Na₂CO₃ H₂O
0.03 0.06
Simplest
Ratio 0.03/0.03 0.03/0.06
1 2
Therefore, x = 2
<span>pv=nrt; Pressure and moles are constant.
p=nr(150k)/.5 L; Pressure initially
After temp change
pv=nrt; What is volume?
v=nr(350k)/p; p is constant so we can substitute from above
v=nr(350k)/(nr(150k)/.5 L))
v=350/150/.5 L
v=4.66 liters</span>
