Is the water of hydration covalently bound to the compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]2 years ago
3 0

The water of hydration is not covalently bound to the compound.

Many compounds, especially ionic compounds contain molecules of water of hydration which appears as part of the chemical formula of the compound.

This water of hydration is only attached to the crystal of the compound loosely. There is no chemical interaction between the water molecules and the crystal of the compound.

To prove this, the water of hydration is easily driven off by heating. It wouldn't have been possible to drive it off by heating if was covalently bonded to the compound.

Therefore, the water of hydration is not covalently bound to the compound.

Determine the number of moles of water assicated with the salt.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Divide the mass of your anhydrous (heated) salt sample by the molar mass of the anhydrous compound to get the number of moles of compound present. In our example, 16 grams / 160 grams per mole = 0.1 moles. Divide the mass of water lost when you heated the salt by the molar mass of water, roughly 18 grams per mole.In order to determine the formula of the hydrate, [Anhydrous Solid⋅xH2O], the number of moles of water per mole of anhydrous solid (x) will be calculated by dividing the number of moles of water by the number of moles of the anhydrous solid (Equation 2.12. 6).

A compound is 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen by mass. assume you have a 100.-g sample of this compound. the molar mass of the c
ch4aika [34]
Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6
