Answer:

The soil has a percentage of water by mass of 27.8 %.

Explanation:

Keeping in mind that

  • Mass of Clay = Mass of water + Mass of Dry Soil

we can <u>calculate the mass of water</u>:

  • 1350 g = Mass of Water + 975 g
  • Mass of Water = 375 g

We can then <u>calculate the mass percentage of water in the soil</u>:

  • 375 / 1350 * 100% = 27.8 %

Calculate the oxidation state of the underlined elements of K2 Cr2 O7
Semenov [28]

Answer:

+4

Explanation:

In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):

Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.

⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0

x = +4

So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

I hope this helps.

Mass of hydrate + crucible = 47.29 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 2.7 g

Molar mass of anhydrous salt CuSO4 = 159.5 g

Given,

mass of empty crucible = 42.45 g

mass of hydrate salt= 4.84 g

mass of crucible after first heating = 46.1 g

mass of crucible after second heating= 45.153 g

mass of crucible after third heating= 45.15 g

so, as per the question we need to find...

Mass of hydrate + crucible = ? g

Mass of anhydrous salt = ? g

Molar mass of anhydrous salt CuSO4 = ? g

∴Mass of hydrate + crucible = 42.45 + 4.48 = 47.29 g

The given salt is in hydrate form, to remove water from this molecule we need to perform heating .

So we are taking the substance into the crucible as it is in less quantity.

Here, we performed heating 3 times and note the weight after every heating.

After this, assume that the water is totally evaporated and the remaining salt is in anhydrous form,

∴ Mass of anhydrous salt = 45.15 - 42.45 = 2.7 g

To find the molar mass of anhydrous salt of CuSO4,

atomic weight of Cu = 63.5 g

atomic weight of S = 32 g

atomic weight of O =16 g

∴ molar mass of anhydrous salt of CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + (16 ×3)

                                                                   =159.5 gm

the particles in water have less mobility than the particles in oxygen. Which statement best explains this observation? Water is
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Water particles have strong intermolecular forces.

Explanation:

Water molecules are affected by attraction and repulsion and that causes the water to have strong forces and intermolecular strength to be strong.

Help :L
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1.6 g/cm3

Explanation:

The formula for Density is actually D=m/v

m= 12.9g

v= 8 cm3

D= \frac{12.9}{8} =1.6125

The unit is grams per centimeters cubed or g/cm3

(If you use the formula given in the question it would be D=0.62)
