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

A gas cylinder initially contains 463 L of gas at a pressure of 159 atm. If the final volume of gas is 817 L, what is the final
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.

Explanation:

Assuming constant temperature, we can solve this problem by using <em>Boyle's Law</em>, which states:

  • P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Where in this case:

  • P₁ = 159 atm
  • V₁ = 463 L
  • P₂ = ?
  • V₂ = 817 L

We <u>input the given data</u>:

  • 159 atm * 463 L = P₂ * 817 L

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ = 90.1 atm

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.

If the equation: FeCl3+O2--&gt;Fe2O3+Cl2, how many moles of chlorine gas can be produced if 4 moles of FeCl3 react with 4 moles
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6 moles of Cl2

Explanation:

First, the equation has to be balanced, which makes it 4 FeCl3 + 3 O2 --> 2 Fe2O3 + 6 Cl2

Using this information, we can see that one mole of O2 will not be present in the reaction. Since four moles of FeCl3 are needed to react in the equation, which would produce six moles of Cl2, and only four moles of FeCl3 are present, six moles of Cl2 would be produced.

True/False –Similar to liquids, gases cannot be compressed.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A liquid has a definite shape and takes on the volume of its container. A gas has both the shape and the volume of its container. The particles in a gas cannot be compressed into a smaller volume. Liquids tend to contract when heated.

Hope this helps

Half of the first 18 elements have an odd number of electrons, and half have an even number. Show why atoms of these elements ar
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.
