The unknown of this problem is the experimental percent of water in the compound in order to remove the water of hydrogen, given the following:
Mass of crucible, cover and contents before heating 23.54 g
Mass of empty crucible and cover 18.82 g
Mass of crucible, cover, and contents after heating to constant mass 20.94 g
In order to get the answer, determine the following:
Mass of hydrated salt used = 23.54 g – 18.82 g = 4.72 g
Mass of dehydrated salt after heating = 20.94 g – 18.82 g = 2.12 g
Mass of water liberated from salt = 4.72 g – 2.12 g = 2.60 g
Then solve the percent of water in the hydrated salt by:
% water = (mass of water / mass of hydrated salt) x 100
% water = 2.60 g / 4.72 g x 100
% water = 55.08 % in the compound
Yes because an organic compound is any member of large class of gaseous liquid or solid chemical compound whose molecules contains carbon
An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:
- ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n
<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>
A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.
In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.
The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.
An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:
²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n
