The element name is: Antimony
The chemical symbol: Sb
Atomic Mass: 121.75
Atomic Number: 51
To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
Mass is an amount of substance present in a body. mass is measure with the help of triple beam balance. the unit of mass are kilogram, gram etc.
Answer:
a) 7.0.
b) Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.
c) 280.83 g/mol.
d) 44.9%.
Explanation:
<u><em>a) What is the formula of the hydrate?</em></u>
The mass of the hydrated sample (NiSO₄.xH₂O) = 5.0 g,
The mass of the anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = 2.755 g,
The mass of water = 5.0 g - 2.755 g = 2.245 g.
∴ no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass = (2.245 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 0.1247 mol.
∴ no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = mass/molar mass = (2.755 g)/(154.75 g/mol) = 0.0178 mol.
∴ water of crystallization in the sample (x) = no. of moles of water/no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = (0.1247 mol)/(0.0178 mol) = 7.0.
<u><em>b) What is the full chemical name for the hydrate?</em></u>
The name of the salt (NiSO₄.7H₂O) is Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.
<u><em>c) What is the molar mass of the hydrate? </em></u>
(NiSO₄.7H₂O)
The molar mass = molar mass of NiSO₄ + 7(molar mass of H₂O) = (154.75 g/mol) + 7(18.0 g/mol) = 280.83 g/mol.
<em><u>d) What is the mass % of water in the hydrate?</u></em>
The mass % of water = (mass of water)/(mass of hydrated sample) x 100 = (2.245 g)/(5.0 g) x 100 = 44.9%.
