(a)
Interpretation:
The mass of water that would be released when Plaster of Paris is completely dehydrated is to be calculated and the product is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The water molecules attached to the crystal are known as the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization removes when a crystal is exposed to heat or high temperature leaving behind anhydrous form of crystal.
(b)

The mass of water that would be released when gypsum is completely dehydrated is to be calculated and the product is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The water molecules attached to the crystal are known as the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization removes when a crystal is exposed to heat or high temperature leaving behind anhydrous form of crystal.

- How would you prepare from the solid and pure water (a) 0.400 L of 0.155 M Sr(OH)2? (b) 1.75 L of 0.333 M (NH4)2CO3?arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardCalculate the molarity of AgNO3 in a solution prepared by dissolving 1.44 g AgNO3 in enough water to form 1.00 L solution.arrow_forward
- Relative solubilities of salts in liquid ammonia can differsignificantly from those in water. Thus, silver bromide issoluble in ammonia, but barium bromide is not (thereverse of the situation in water). Write a balanced equation for the reaction of anammonia solution of barium nitrate with an ammoniasolution of silver bromide. Silver nitrate is soluble inliquid ammonia. What volume of a 0.50 M solution of silver bromidewill react completely with 0.215 L of a 0.076 M solutionof barium nitrate in ammonia? What mass of barium bromide will precipitate fromthe reaction in part (b)?arrow_forwardefine the term strong electrolyte. What types of substances tend to be strong electrolytes? What does a solution of a strong electrolyte contain? Give a way to determine if a substance is a strong electrolyte.arrow_forwardSilver ions can be found in some of the city water piped into homes. The average concentration of silver ions in city water is 0.028 ppm. (a) How many milligrams of silver ions would you ingest daily if you drank eight glasses (eight oz/glass) of city water daily? (b) How many liters of city water are required to recover 1.00 g of silver chemically?arrow_forward
- Use the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.arrow_forwardFollow the directions for Question 9 for the following pairs of solutions. (a) sodium phosphate and barium chloride (b) zinc sulfate and potassium hydroxide (c) ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride (d) cobalt(III) nitrate and sodium phosphatearrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.250 M HCI is required to neutralize each of the following solutions? a. 25.0 mL of 0.103 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH b. 50.0 mL of 0.00501 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 c. 20.0 mL of 0.226 M ammonia, NH3 d. 15.0 mL of 0.0991 M potassium hydroxide, KOHarrow_forward
- Reactions represented by the following equations take place in water solutions. Write each molecular equation in total ionic form, then identify spectator ions and write the equations in net ionic form. Solids that do not dissolve are designated by s, gases that do not dissolve are designated by g, and substances that dissolve but do not dissociate appear in blue. a. H2O(l)+Na2SO3(aq)+SO2(aq)2NaHSO3(aq) b. 3Cu(s)+8HNO3(aq)3Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l) c. 2HCl(aq)+CaO(s)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l) d. CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)CaCl2(aq)+CO2(aq)+H2O(l) e. MnO2(s)+4HCl(aq)MnCl2(aq)+Cl2(aq)+2H2O(l) f. 2AgNO3(aq)+Cu(s)Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)arrow_forwardWhen solutions of BaCl2 and Na2SO4 are mixed, the mixture becomes cloudy. After a few days, a white solid is observed on the bottom of the beaker with a clear liquid above it. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) Why is the solution cloudy at first? (c) What happens during the few days of waiting?arrow_forward
