<span>The processes used to break compounds down into simpler substances are hydrolysis and photolysis. 

Hydrolysis employs water to cut chemical bonds and separate molecules; water essentially splits the molecule. There are three principal kinds of hydrolysis:</span>1. acid hydrolysis2. base hydrolysis 3. salt hydrolysis

Photolysis causes molecules to split by absorbing energy from light. That energy is carried by photons. Photons break chemical bonds in a similar way, and photolysis is a chemical reaction.

<span>Photolysis versus hydrolysis. Both are processes that convert compounds into simpler molecules or smaller fragments.

Hydrolysis depends on water to cleave chemical bonds and break a molecule into smaller parts. Hydrolysis can be divided into three categories:
1. salt hydrolysis.
2. acid hydrolysis.
3. base hydrolysis.
Photolysis works by using light energy — photons — to sever molecular bonds and fragment compounds.</span>

Does the result of the calculation in question 3 justify your original assumption that all of the SCN^- is in the form of FeNCS^
lorasvet [2795]
Fe 3+ + SCN- --> FeSCN 2+ 

<span>.......Fe 3+.......SCN-.........FeSCN 2+ </span>
<span>I.......0.04..........0.001.............. </span>
<span>C........-x...............-x............. </span>
<span>E.....0.04-x.....0.001-x...........x </span>

<span>Keq = 203.4 = x / (0.04-x)(0.001-x) </span>
<span>203.4 = x / (x^2 - 0.041x + 4x10^-5) </span>
<span>203.4x^2 - 8.34x + 0.00094 = x </span>
<span>203.4x^2 - 9.34x + 0.00094 = 0 </span>
<span>x = -0.0001M or 0.0458M </span>
<span>therefore, according to the calculated Keq, all of the SCN- and Fe 3+ would be fully converted into FeSCN 2+</span>

If 32.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
alisha [2963]
To calculate the moles of MgSO4.7H2O, we find the molar mass equals 246, thus moles = 32 / 246 = 0.13 moles. Upon heating, all 7 H2O from one molecule will evaporate. The total moles of H2O present amount to 7 x 0.13 = 0.91, and the mass of that H2O is 0.91 x 18 = 16.38g. Therefore, the mass of the anhydrous MgSO4 that remains is 32 - 16.38 = 15.62 g.

A certain liquid has a density of 2.67 g/ cm3. what is the mass of 30.5 ml of this liquid? (
lorasvet [2795]
Hello!

density = 2.67 g/cm³

volume = 30.5 mL

Thus:

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 2.67 * 30.5

Mass = 81.435 g
