In an experiment, a student was assigned to find the formula of an unknown hydrate that weighed 15.67g. The anhydrate, XCO3 (mol

ar mass = 84.32 g/mol), weighed 7.58 g after all the water was driven off. Determine the moles of water per one mole of anhydrate.

Answer:

5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the moles of the anhydrate. The difference in mass between the dry and the anhydrate gives the mass of water. Thus, we can find the moles of water and the moles of water per mole of anhydrate:

<em>Moles Anhydrate:</em>

7.58g  * (1mol / 84.32g) = 0.0899 moles XCO3

<em>Moles water:</em>

15.67g - 7.58g = 8.09g * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.449 moles H2O

Moles of water per mole of anhydrate:

0.449 moles H2O / 0.0899 moles XCO3 =

5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?
aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C

A 0.45-g sample of aspirin is decomposed into its constituent elements and found to contain 0.27 g C, 0.020 g H, and 0.16 g O. C
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass % of C = 0.27/0.45*100 = 60%

mass % of H = 0.02/0.45*100 = 4.4%

mass % of O = 0.16/0.45*100 = 35.6%

Total = 60%+4.4%+ 35.6% = 100%
