Which group on the periodic table of the elements contains elements that react with oxygen to form compounds with the general formula x2o?
(1) group 1 (3) group 14
(2) group 2 (4) group 18

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.)

What is the independent variable in this investigation? mass volume sample number substance density

Achemistry student weighs out 0.306 g of citric acid (h3c6h5o7), a triprotic acid, into a 250 ml volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. he plans to titrate the acid with 0.1000 m naoh solution. calculate the volume of naoh solution the student will need to add to reach the final equivalence point. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
