Answer:
a) yes, it was an hydrate
b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6
Explanation:
a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.
b) NiCl2. xH2O
mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams
mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.
NiCl2.xH2O
mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole
mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole
Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each
for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1
for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6
thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O
Answer:
Imo : Gas particles are in constant, random motion. The volume of gas particles is negligible in comparison to the volume of the container. There are no attractive forces between gas particles.
Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years
Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years
Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.
Hope this helps you.
There are 5 steps:
1- measure the mass of the container
2- measure the volume of the liquid
3- measure the combined mass of the liquid and the container.
4-determine the mass of the liquid alone
5-divide the mass by the volume.
