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.

What is vsepr theory, and how can it be used to predict molecular shapes?

raketka [301]

VSEPR theory (known as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion ) endeavors to explain/predict the shape and geometry of molecules. The theory postulates that atoms in a molecule take a position in space (within the molecule) that reduces the repulsion of the individual atom’s electron clouds so the molecule can achieve the most stable state.

Which statement refers to the quantum mechanical model? A) Electrons move in a circular path about the nucleus. B) Electrons can

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Electrons are in "orbitals", regions of space where there is high probability of being found.

Explanation:

The Wave mechanical model of the atom does not restrict the electrons to certain energy levels only as in the Bohr's model, instead it describes a region around the nucleus called an orbital, where there is a high probability of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy.

Each energy level is composed of one or more orbitals and the distribution of electrons around the nucleus is determined by the number and kind of energy levels that are occupied.

I need help on both a and b of question 1

marishachu [46]

Answer:

(a) -0.00017 M/s;

(b) 0.00034 M/s

Explanation:

(a) Rate of a reaction is defined as change in molarity in a unit time, that is:

$r = \frac{\Delta c}{\Delta t}$

Given the following reaction:

$2 N_2O_5 (g)\rightleftharpoons 4 NO_2 (g) + O_2 (g)$

We may write the rate expression in terms of reactants firstly. Since reactants are decreasing in molarity, we're adding a negative sign. Similarly, if we wish to look at the overall reaction rate, we need to divide by stoichiometric coefficients:

$r = -\frac{\Delta [N_2O_5]}{2 \Delta t}$
