A hydrate of copper(II) sulfate, when heated, goes through the succession of changes suggested by the photograph. In this photograph. (a) is the original fully hydrated copper(II) sulfate: (b) is the product obtained by heating the original hydrate to 140 °C; (c) is the product obtained by further heating to 400 °C; and (d) is the product obtained at 1000 °C.
A 2.574 g sample of
a. Assuming that all the water of hydration is driven off at 400 °C, what is the formula of the original hydrate?
b. What is the formula of the hydrate obtained when the original hydrate is heated to only 140 °C?
c. The black residue obtained at 1000 °C is an oxide of copper. What is its percent composition and empirical formula?

- Which molecule, HF, HCl, HBr, or HI, has the strongest chemical bond?arrow_forwardGraphite is burned in oxygen to give carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. If the product mixture is 33% CO and 67% CO2 by mass, what is the heat from the combustion of 1.00 g of graphite?arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forward
- Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardou place hot metal into a beaker of cold water. ol type='a'> Eventually what is true about the temperature of the metal compared to that of the water? Explain why this is true. i>Label this process as endothermic or exothermic if we consider the system to be the metal. Explain. the water. Explain.arrow_forward

Use the following reactions: 4Fe(s)+3O2(g)2Fe2O3(s)H=1648.4kJ4CO(g)+O2(g)2CO3(g)H=565.98kJarrow_forwardWhich molecule, F2, Cl2, Br2, or I2, has the weakest chemical bond?arrow_forward
- How much would the temperature of 275 g of water increase if 36.5 U of heat were added?arrow_forwardWhen steam condenses to liquid water, 2.26 kJ of heat is released per gram. The heat from 168 g of steam is used to heat a room containing 6.44 104 g of air (20 ft 12 ft 8 ft). The specific heat of air at normal pressure is 1.015 J/(gC). What is the change in air temperature, assuming the heat from the steam is all absorbed by air?arrow_forward
