Answer:

No. of moles = 0.0685

Explanation:

Given mass, m = 15.5g

We need to find the number of moles in 15.5 g of CaSO₄.5H2O

First, we find the mass of CaSO₄.5H2O.

M = (1×40)+(1×32)+(4×16)+(5×18)

M = 226 g/mol

We know that,

Number of moles = given mass/molar mass

$n=\dfrac{15.5\ g}{226\ g/mol}\\\\n=0.0685\ \text{mol}$

Hence, there are 0.0685 moles in 15.5 g of CaSO₄.5H2O.

In a solid state, the molecules have the least amount of energy. They just stick close together and vibrate in place. As the molecules gain more energy, they are able to move around more freely. In the liquid state, the molecules have enough energy to sort of tumble over each other.

How many atoms in the pictured molecule can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules?

ddd [48]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Please, find the image with the pictured molecule for this question attached.

The molecule has one oxygen atom (red) covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom (light grey), one nitrogen atom (blue) covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms (light grey), and two carbon atoms (dark grey) bonded each to two hydrogen atoms (light grey).

Hydrogen bondings are intermolecular bonds (bonds between atoms of two different molecules not between atoms of the same molecule). The hydrogen bonds are attractions between the positive end of one hydrogen atom and the negative end of a small atom of other molecule (N, O, or F).

Since, nitrogen and oxygen are much more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, you conclude that:
