Find the percent of water in Zn3(PO4)2 x 7H2O

Chemistry

Answer:

24.66%

Explanation:

To find the percent of water (H2O) in the following compound: Zn3(PO4)2. 7H2O

The atomic mass of the elements are as follows:

Zn = 65g/mol

P = 31g/mol

O = 16g/mol

H = 1g/mol

Hence, molar mass of the compound is as follows:

65(3) + {31 + 16(4)} 2 + 7{1(2) + 16}

195 + 95(2) + 7(18)

195 + 190 + 126

511g/mol

Molar mass of 7H2O

= 7(18)

= 126g/mol

Hence, the percent of H2O in the compound is:

Molar Mass of 7H2O/molar mass of compound × 100

= 126/511 × 100

= 0.2466 × 100

= 24.66%

ΔG o for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) is 2.60 kJ/mol at 25°C. Calculate ΔG o , and predict the direction in which the rea
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g)     ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin

The initial pressures are:

pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol

with T = 298 Kelvin

Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]

with pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)

Q = 3.661

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)  

ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol

To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.

ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Only 11% of all the energy used in the US comes from a renewable source. Why is this a<br> problem?
mr Goodwill [35]
Fossil fuels and unnatural energy sources still dominate in the US, this influences many problems including global warming, climate change, and pollution. Burning fossil fuels is also a problem to human health. And unnatural resources won’t be there forever whereas, renewable sources could last a long time.

How many joules of heat is lost when a 64 g piece of copper cools from 375 oC to 26 oC? The specific heat of copper is 0.38 J/go
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J

Explanation:

q=cmt

t=375-26

t=349

q=0.38(64)(349)

q=8487.68 J

Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.
