The original sample of potassium phosphate octahydrate had a mass of 19.6 grams. When it was heated, it released 7.93 grams of water.

Further Explanation:

For every mole of the compound potassium phosphate octahydrate, there are 8 moles of water of hydration which can be removed from the crystal by heating without altering the chemical composition of the substance.

To determine how much original sample was used, the amount of water released upon heating may be used as well as the mole ratio of the water of hydration with the compound itself following the steps below:

Convert mass of water released to moles.Use the mole ratio of water of hydration to the compound (8 mol water for every mol of potassium phosphate octahydrate) to get the moles of original sample.Convert the moles of original sample to grams.

STEP 1: Convert 7.93 g water to moles.

$moles \ of\ H_{2}O \ = 7.93 \ g \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ H_{2}O}{18.00 \ g \ H_{2}O})\\\boxed {moles \ of \ H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol}$

STEP 2: Calculate the moles of original sample using the mole ratio: 1 mol K3PO4 8H2O : 8 mol H2O.

$moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ }{8 \ mol \ H_{2}O})\\\\\boxed {moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.0551 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Convert the moles of original sample to mass.

$mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O = 0.0551 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ (\frac{356.3885 \ g}{1 \ mol\ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O})\\ mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 19.637 \ g$

Following the significant figures of the given, the final answer should be:

$\boxed {mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O = 19.6 \ g}$

The mass of original hydrate is 19.63 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of water released = 7.93 grams

We are given a chemical compound known as potassium phosphate octahydrate having chemical formula of K_3PO_4.8H_2O

Mass of K_3PO_4.8H_2O = 356.4 grams

Mass of 8 water of crystallization = (8 × 18) = 144 grams

By applying unitary method, we get:

144 grams of water is released when 356.4 grams of salt is heated.

So, 7.93 grams of water will be released when = $\frac{356.4g}{144g}\times 7.93g=19.63g$ of salt is heated.

Hence, the mass of original hydrate is 19.63 grams.

the answer is:

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
