An anthropologist examines a decomposed body to determine the cause of death

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

Which of the following contributes to the structural rigidity of cellulose? adjacent glucose polymers are stabilized by hydrogen bonding. glucose residues are joined by (α1→4) linkages. cellulose is a highly branched molecule. the conformation of the glucose polymer is a coiled structure.

Ammonium perchlorate nh4clo4 is the solid rocket fuel used by the u. s. space shuttle. it reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas n2 , chlorine gas cl2 , oxygen gas o2 , water h2o , and a great deal of energy. what mass of nitrogen gas is produced by the reaction of 2.1g of ammonium perchlorate?
