There are 8.421 g of dry ZnSO4 and
6.579 g H₂O in the sample.

Step 2: Determine the moles of water and anhydrous compound.

Zn = 65.38 g/mol, S = 32.07 g/mol,
H = 1.01 g/mol, O = 16.00 g/mol

How many moles of ZnSO4 are present?

[?] mol ZnSO4

Respuesta :

The number of moles of H₂O is  0.36 mol.

The number of moles of LiClO₄ is  0.0521  mol.

What are moles?

Mole is an important standard unit used for the measurement of large quantities of atoms, molecules, or other particles. One mole is equal to 6.022×10²³ units.

The number of moles of a substance is calculated by:

Moles =[tex]\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}[/tex]

To find the number of moles of H₂O:

Mass of H₂O in the sample = 6.579 g

The molecular weight of H₂O = 18.02g

Moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}[/tex]

Moles = [tex]\frac{6.579 g}{18.02g}[/tex]

Moles = 0.36

To find the number of moles of [tex]ZnSO_4[/tex]:

Mass of [tex]ZnSO_4[/tex] in the sample = 8.421 g

The molecular weight of [tex]ZnSO_4[/tex]= 161.47 g/mol

Moles =[tex]\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}[/tex]

Moles = [tex]\frac{8.421 g}{161.47 g/mol}[/tex]

Moles = 0.0521 moles
