A sample of hydrated magnesium sulfate (MgSO4⋅xH2O) is analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The sample weighs 2.50 g initially and is heated in a controlled atmosphere. As the temperature increases, the water of hydration is released in two stages: (a) The first mass loss of 0.72 g occurs at 150°C, corresponding to the loss of a certain number of water molecules. (b) The second mass loss of 0.90 g occurs at 250°C, corresponding to the loss of the remaining water molecules. The residue is identified as anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) Questions: (i) Determine the value of x (the total number of water molecules in MgSO4⋅xH2O) (ii) Calculate the percentage of water in the original sample. Write down the applications of TGA.
The solubility product of iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) is 6.3×10−38. If 50 mL of a 0.001 M FeCl3 solution is mixed with 50 mL of a 0.005 M NaOH solution, will Fe(OH)3 precipitate? Show all step-by-step calculations. To evaluate the equilibrium constant, we must express concentrations of solutes in mol/L, gases in bars, and omit solids, liquids, and solvents. Explain why.
