Answer:

Explanation:

Pellet form of NaOH is highly hygroscopic . It absorbs moisture from air and its weight is increased by the time one tries to weigh one gram of it . Moreover it also reacts with carbon dioxide gas of atmosphere to form sodium carbonate .

2 NaOH + CO₂ = Na₂CO₃ + H₂0.

It also increases its weight .

If 500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO42−, what mass of calcium sulfate will precipitate? Ksp for CaSO4
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca^2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO4^2−

Ksp for CaSO4 is 2.40*10^−5

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate moles of Ca^2+

Moles of Ca^2+ = Molarity Ca^2+ * volume

Moles of Ca^2+ = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles Ca^2+ = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate moles of SO4^2-

Moles of SO4^2- = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles SO4^2- = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate total volume

500.0 mL + 500.0 mL = 1000 mL = 1L

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate Q

Q = [Ca2+] [SO42-]  

[Ca2+]= 0.050 M   [O42-]

Qsp = (0.050)(0.050 )=0.0025 >> Ksp

This means precipitation will occur

<u> Step 6:</u> Calculate molar solubility

Ksp = 2.40 * 10^-5 = [Ca2+][SO42-] =(x)(x)

2.40 * 10^-5 = x²

x = √(2.40 * 10^-5)

x = 0.0049 M = Molar solubility

<u> Step 7:</u> Calculate total CaSO4 dissolved

total CaSO4 dissolved = 0.0049 M * 1 L * 136.14 mol/L = 0.667 g

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate initial mass of CaSO4

Since initial moles CaSo4 = 0.050

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 0.050 * 136.14 g/mol

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 6.807 grams

<u>Step 9:</u> Calculate mass precipitate

6.807 - 0.667 = 6.14 grams

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

First, we assume that helium behaves as an ideal gas such that the ideal gas law is applicable.
                                     PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is universal gas constant, and T is temperature. From the equation, if n, R, and T are constant, there is an inverse relationship between P and V. From the given choices, the container with the greatest pressure would be the 50 mL.

If you perform the experiment described in investigation #15 by mixing 10 g of glue with 13 g of water and 8 g of sodium borate
Phantasy [73]

10 g of glue with 13 g of water ,

Mass ratio of the material can be calculated as:    

\frac{Mass of glue}{Mass of glue + Mass of water}  

\frac{10 g}{10 g + 13 g }  

\frac{10 g}{23 g }

8 g of sodium borate suspended in 11 g of water, mass ratio can be calculated as:

\frac{Mass of sodium borate}{Mass of sodium borate + Mass of water}  

\frac{ 8 g}{ 8 g + 11 g }  

\frac{8 g}{19 g }

An ice cube measuring 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm has a density of 0.917 g/mL What is the mass?
OLga [1]

Answer: 178.9 g

Explanation:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume in mL}

find volume of the cube: (5.80 cm) (5.80 cm) (5.80cm) = 195.112 cm³

1.0 cm³ = 1.0 mL

so 195.112 cm³ = 195.112 mL

plug value into density equation:

0.917 g/mL = (mass) / (195.112 mL)

and solve for mass!

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The formula of Valproic acid = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of water obtained = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of H_2O = 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles

2 moles of hydrogen atoms are present in 1 mole of water. So,

<u>Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles </u>

Molar mass of H atom = 1.008 g/mol

<u>Mass of H in molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g </u>

Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Moles of CO_2 = 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles

1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,

<u>Moles of C = 0.009157 moles </u>

Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol

<u>Mass of C in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g </u>

<u>Given that the Valproic acid only contains hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. </u>So,

Mass of O in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C  - Mass of H

Mass of the sample = 0.165 g

<u>Mass of O in sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  </u>

Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol

<u>Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles</u>

<u></u>

<u>Taking the simplest ratio for H, O and C as: </u>

<u>0.01844 : 0.002276 : 0.009157</u>

<u> = 8 : 1 : 4</u>

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16= 72 g/mol

Molar mass = 144 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

144 = n × 72

<u>⇒ n = 2</u>

The formula of Valproic acid = C_8H_{16}O_2
