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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
4 0

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%

What can be explained by the Arrhenius theory?
vekshin1
Arrhenius theory is a theory about acids and bases. It says that acids are those substances that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution and bases are the substances that dissiociates and produces hydroxide ions (OH-). It was introduced by Svante Arrhenius.

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based
sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

<u>Describe both water and other substances</u>

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid <u>:</u>

<u>It describe none : neither water nor other substances </u>

<u>This statement is :False for both water and other substances</u>

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

<u>This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.</u>

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

<u>This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.</u>

<u>False for other substance, they have positive slope</u>

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

<u>This statement is :False for water and other substances </u>

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

<u>This statement is :True for other substances  but false for water</u>

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

<u>Describes both water and other substances </u>

Explanation:

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8</u>

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2</u>

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur<u> Phase transition</u> always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

<u>High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.</u>

<u>Answers to statement 5,8 :</u>

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules <u>of both water and other substance</u>s are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

<u>The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement  and does not describe both water and other substance</u>

<u>Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.</u>

This can be explained using the phase diagram of <u>water </u>:

The line DB is  = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence <u>Water is described truly by statement 4,6, </u>which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

<u>other substance</u> : Solid  is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope

A 35.40 gram hydrate of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass. Its final weight is 30.2 g. What is formula
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃•H₂O

Explanation:

After it is heated, the remaining mass is the mass of sodium carbonate.

30.2 g Na₂CO₃

Mass is conserved, so the difference is the mass of the water:

35.4 g − 30.2 g = 5.2 g H₂O

Convert masses to moles:

30.2 g Na₂CO₃ × (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 106 g Na₂CO₃) = 0.285 mol Na₂CO₃

5.2 g H₂O × (1 mol H₂O / 18.0 g H₂O) = 0.289 mol H₂O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

0.285 / 0.285 = 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃

0.289 / 0.285 = 1.01 mol H₂O

The ratio is approximately 1:1.  So the formula of the hydrate is Na₂CO₃•H₂O.
