Answer:

% of water = 62.94%

Explanation: up

To calculate the amount of water in

Na2CO3.10H2O

Calculating the molecular mass of

Na2CO3

Na2=2*23=46g/mol of Na

C= 1*12=12g/mol of C

O3= 3*16=48g/mol of O

Molecular mass of Na2CO3=46+12+48=106g/mol

Molecular mass of H2O=18g/mol

10.H2O= 10*18= 180g/mol

Na2CO3.10H2O=106+180=286g/mol

%of water = 180/286*100%=62.94%

The trick for this problem is to understand atomic mass: the fact that different atoms have different masses. What we need to do is add up all the atomic masses of the compound and work out the ratio of mass of water to the mass of sodium carbonate. Atomic masses are often given for each atom in the periodic table, but you can look them up on google too.

You can do this by adding up individual atoms for each molecule, or you can shortcut and lookup the molar mass of the compound (i.e.the task already done for you). 

The molar mass of water is 18.01g/mole so for 10 moles of water we have a mass of 180.1g.


The molar mass of sodium carbonate is 106g/mole (google).

So the total mass of the sodium carbonate decahydrate compound is 180.1+106 = 286.1g, of which water would make up 180.1g, so the percentage of water is is 180.1/286.1 = 0.629, so we can round this to 63%

When applied to a dish, soap makes grease soluble in water. Which explanation correctly supports the role of intermolecular forc
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Explanation:

Soaps attach to both water and grease molecules.

The grease molecules are attracted more strongly towards each other as compared to water molecules. Also, water molecules are smaller in size hence, strong intermolecular force is required to break the hydrogen bonds of water molecule so that grease or oil molecules can enter the water molecule.

A soap molecule goes in between water and grease molecule and helps them to bind. The force for linkage between water and grease molecule through the soap molecule is weak london dispersion force.

The soap molecule has its salt end as ionic and water soluble. When grease or oil is added to the soap and water solution then the soap acts as an emulsifier. The soap forms miscelles of the non-polar tails and grease molecules are trapped between these miscelles. This miscelle is easily soluble in water hence, the grease is washed away.

Thus, it can be concluded that the nonpolar end of a soap molecule attaches itself to grease.

topjm [15]

Answer: (3) 15

Explanation: We criss-cross down the oxidation numbers to get the subscripts for the correct formulas. That means the X has an oxidation number of 5. The element with the + oxidation number is always written first so it is +5. Of the groups names, only group 15 has +5 as an oxidation number.

Be sure to answer all parts. Draw the structure of a compound of molecular formula C4H8O that has a signal in its 13C NMR spectr
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The possible structures are ketone and aldehyde.

Explanation:

Number of double bonds of the given compound is calculated using the below formula.

N_{db}=N_{c}+1-\frac{N_{H}+N_{Br}-N_{N}}{2}

N_{db}=Number of double bonds

N_{c} = Number of carbon atoms

N_{H} = Number of hydrogen atoms

N_{N} = Number of nitrogen atoms

The number of double bonds in the given formula - C_{4}H_{8}O

N_{db}= 4+1-\frac{8+0-0}{2}=1

The number of double bonds in the compound is one.

Therefore, probable structures is as follows.

(In attachment)

The structures I and III are ruled out from the probable structures because the signal in 13C-NMR appears at greater than 160 ppm.

alkene compounds I and II shows signal less than 140 ppm.

Hence, the probable structures III and IV are given as follows.

The carbonyl of structure I appear at 202 and ketone group of IV appears at 208 in 13C, which are greater than 160.

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound C_{4}H_{8}O having possible structure in which the signal appears at greater than 160 ppm are shown aw follows.
