Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. He starts with a hydrate of Na2CO3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heati

ng. After he heats it he finds the mass of the anhydrous compound is found to be 3.22 g. He asks everyone in class to determine the integer x in the hydrate: Na2CO3·xH2O; you should do this also. Round your answer to the nearest integ

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

        Number of moles  = \frac{mass }{molar mass }

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)]  = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = \frac{3.22}{106} = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O =  \frac{1.09}{18} = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

                          Na₂CO₃                               H₂O

                           0.03                                    0.06

Simplest

Ratio                  0.03/0.03                         0.03/0.06

                                 1                                      2

Therefore, x = 2

What letter represents the activation energy for the reverse reaction?
Bezzdna [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 4: U

<u>Explanation:</u>

Activation energy is defined as the energy that is given to a chemical system with potential reactants to produce products. It is represented as E_{ac}

It is represented as the energy from the reactants to the activated complex.

Reverse reaction is defined as the reaction in which the products formed become reactants and leads to the formation of reactants back.

So, here, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is the energy between the products and the activated complex, which is represented as letter U in the given graph.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4: U
