Chemical precipitation is the formation of a (liquid, solid, or solute) from a solution. in a precipitation reaction, the precipitate (dissolves in, melts in, or separates from) the solution.

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.)

Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. he starts with a hydrate of na2co3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heating. after he heats it he finds the mass of the anhydrous compound is found to be 3.22 g. he asks everyone in class to determine the integer x in the hydrate: na2co3·xh2o; you should do this also. round your answer to the nearest integ

110 g of water (specific heat = 4.184 j/g c) and 100 g of a metal sample (specific heat = 0.397 j/g c) are heated from 25 degrees c to 75 degrees c. which substance required more thermal energy?
