Answer:

Weigh the empty crucible, and then weigh into it between 2 g and 3 g of hydrated copper(II) sulphate. Record all weighings accurate to the nearest 0.01 g.

Support the crucible securely in the pipe-clay triangle on the tripod over the Bunsen burner.

Heat the crucible and contents, gently at first, over a medium Bunsen flame, so that the water of crystallisation is driven off steadily. The blue colour of the hydrated compound should gradually fade to the greyish-white of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. Avoid over-heating, which may cause further decomposition, and stop heating immediately if the colour starts to blacken. If over-heated, toxic or corrosive fumes may be evolved. A total heating time of about 10 minutes should be enough.

Allow the crucible and contents to cool. The tongs may be used to move the hot crucible from the hot pipe-clay triangle onto the heat resistant mat where it should cool more rapidly.

Re-weigh the crucible and contents once cold.

Calculation:

Calculate the molar masses of H2O and CuSO4 (Relative atomic masses: H=1, O=16, S=32, Cu=64)

Calculate the mass of water driven off, and the mass of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed in your experiment

Calculate the number of moles of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed

Calculate the number of moles of water driven off

Calculate how many moles of water would have been driven off if 1 mole of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate had been formed

Write down the formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate.

maks197457 [2]

The answer is b. 4.2 mole. The balanced reaction formula is 2LiOH + H2SO4 -->Li2SO4 + 2H2O. And the ratio of mole number of the reactants is the same as the ratio of coefficients.

Tonya had a mixture of sand, salt, iron particles, and pebbles. What processes should be used to separate the substances in the

marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

Put the pan into a water-containing dish and mix well. Now use a strainer to transfer the solution into another jar. The salt should disappear in it.

And using a tube with a filtrate, transfer the salts that has sand into another bottle with a filtrate. Therefore the sand is split. Eventually, when all the water vaporizes and the salt stays in the bottle, leave the extra solvent and heat it.

A sample of methane gas has a volume of 10 l at a pressure of 1.5 atm and a temperature of 20 °c. what volume does the gas occup

a_sh-v [17]

We can use combined gas laws to solve for the volume of the gas
$\frac{PV}{T}$
where P - pressure, V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
T1 - temperature in Kelvin - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
T2 - 40 °C + 273 = 313 K
substituting the values
$\frac{1.5 atm*10L}{293 K} = \frac{0.9 atm*V}{313K}$
V = 17.8 L
volume of the gas is 17.8 L

How many moles are in .5g of sodium bromide?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: 4.86 x 10⁻³ mole.

Explanation:

The number of moles can be calculated using the relation; n = mass / molar mass.

n is the number of moles, mass is the mass of the substance in g (m = 0.5 g), and molar mass of NaBr = 102.894 g/mole.

n = mass / molar mass = (0.5 g) / (102.894 g/mole) = 4.86 x 10⁻³ mole.
