A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a

mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. The mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. He then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. On colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. The sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous CuSO4. How many moles of water are present per mole of CuSO4?

Answer:

There are 5.5668 moles of water for every mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of anhydrous CuSO₄ is:

23.403g - 22.652g = 0.751g.

mass of crucible + lid + CuSO₄ - mass of crucible + lid

Given that the molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159.609g/mol, we calculate the moles:

0.751g ×\frac{1mol}{159,609g} = 4.7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

The mass of water in the initial sample is:

23.875g - 0.751g - 22.652g = 0.472g.

mass of crucible + lid + CuSO₄ hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible + lid

As the molar mass of H₂O is 18.02g/mol, we find the moles:

0.472g ×\frac{1mol}{18,02g} = 2.6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The mole ratio of H₂O to CuSO₄ is:

2.6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4.7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5.5668

This indicates there are 5.5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

I hope this is helpful!

A bell hanging at the top of a tower has 8,550 j of energy. If it has a mass of 20 kg find the height of the Bell
Alekssandra [3086]

43.62m

Clarification:

Given details:

Energy = 8550J

Mass of bell = 20kg

Unknown:

Height of the bell =?

Solution:

This bell possesses potential energy, which signifies energy at rest due to its positional context.

Potential energy = m g h

where m denotes the mass of the object

g indicates gravity's acceleration

and h stands for the height of the object

Here, we need to isolate for h.

g = 9.8m/s²

     Insert the variables;

        8550 = 20  x  9.8 x h

     As a result, h = 43.62m

Consider isotopes ions protons and electrons. how many of these did dalton not discuss in his atomic theory?
KiRa [2933]

The reply is: He did not mention any of these topics.

Explanation: Dalton outlined certain postulates for his atomic theory, which are:

1) Matter consists of indivisible atoms.

2) Atoms from different elements combine in fixed proportions to form compounds.

3) The atomic characteristics of a specific element are uniform, including mass. This means all atoms of a given element share the same mass, whereas atoms from different elements exhibit different masses.

4) During a chemical reaction, atoms are not created or destroyed.

5) Atoms of an element are uniform in mass, size, and all other chemical and physical properties.

From these postulates, it is evident that he focused solely on atoms, neglecting subatomic particles or isotopes.
