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 sample of gas contains 0.1700 mol of OF2(g) and 0.1700 mol of H2O(g) and occupies a volume of 19.5 L. The following reaction t

andreev551 [17]

Answer: The volume of the sample after the reaction takes place is 29.25 L.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

$OF_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(g) \rightarrow O_{2}(g) + 2HF(g)$

So, moles of product formed are calculated as follows.

$\frac{3}{2} \times 0.17 mol \\= 0.255 mol$

Hence, the given data is as follows.

$n_{1}$ = 0.17 mol, $n_{2}$ = 0.255 mol

$V_{1}$ = 19.5 L, $V_{2} = ?$

As the temperature and pressure are constant. Hence, formula used to calculate the volume of sample after the reaction is as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}\\\frac{19.5 L}{0.17 mol} = \frac{V_{2}}{0.255 mol}\\V_{2} = \frac{19.5 L \times 0.255 mol}{0.17 mol}\\= \frac{4.9725}{0.17} L\\= 29.25 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of the sample after the reaction takes place is 29.25 L.

A stack of 15 pennies is immersed into a 100 mL graduate initially containing 20.6 mL of water. The volume in the graduate cylin

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: 5.4

Explanation: The Law of Impenetrability says that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time; therefore, the pennies and the water can't occupy the same space at the same time. Without the pennies the water level read 20.6 mL, dropping in the pennies gives a level of 26.0.
