Answer:

Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

Explanation:

Data Given

Percentage of water = 45.43%

Percentage of CoCl. = 54.57%

Chemical Formula of the hydrates = ?

Solution:

First, find the mass of each of the part ( CoCl and water) in 100 g of the Compound.

Mass of CoCl = 28 + 35.5

Mass of CoCl = 63.5

Mass of H₂O = 18 g

Now find how many moles are there for each element in 100 g of compound

So,

The percentage will be count in grams for 100g in compound

Find the moles in total compounds

Formula Used for CoCl

mole of CoCl = mass of CoCl / Molar mass of CoCl

mole of CoCl = mole of 54.57 g / 63.5 g/mol

mole of CoCl = 0.859

Formula Used for H₂O

mole of H₂O = mass of H₂O/ Molar mass ofH₂O

mole of H₂O = 45.43 g / 18 g/mol

mole of H₂O = 2.539

Now

To find the Chemical formula

Divide each one by the smallest number of moles

CoCl = 0.859 / 0.859

CoCl = 1

For H₂O

H₂O = 2.539 / 0.859

H₂O = 3

Multiply the mole fraction to a number to get the whole number.

CoCl = 1

H₂O = 3

So,

The Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

Anon25 [30]

It is definitely not A. B is an effect. I would say C because D is more of a conservative answer , C is more of a liberal answer, and we currently live in a liberally swayed world. They are probably looking for C. It is not in your nature to be bad.

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.

Help??

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = 24.54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = ?

Mass of chlorine gas formed = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 71 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.21 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl from balance chemical equation.

Cl₂ : NaCl

1 : 2

0.21 : 2×0.21 = 0.42 mol

Mass of Sodium chloride decompose:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.42 mol × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 24.54 g

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.

Convert 1.25 atm to bar.

Tasya [4]

Answer: 1.27 bar

Explanation:

1 atm = 1.01325 bar

1.25 atm = Z (let Z be the unknown value)

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 atm = 1.25 atm x 1.01325 bar

1 atm•Z = 1.2665625 atm•bar

To get the value of Z, divide both sides by 1 atm

1 atm•Z/1 atm = 1.2665625 atm•bar/1atm

Z = 1.2665625 bar

(Round up Z to the nearest hundredth as 1.27 bar)

Thus, 1.25 atm when coverted gives 1.27 bar
