Answer
(i) 23 g of Na = 1 g. atom
∴ 4.6 g. of Na = x 4.6 = 0.2 g
Hence, 0.2 g. atoms
(ii) Molecular weight of hydrated copper sulphate CuSO4.5H2O = 64 + 32 + 4(16) + 5[2(1) + 16]
= 64 + 32 + 64 + 5[18]
= 64 + 32 + 64 + 90
= 250 g
250 g of CuSO4.5H2O contains 90 g of water of crystallization.
∴ Percentage of water of crystallization = x 100 = 36%
Hence, percentage of water of crystallization is 36%
(iii) Empirical formula = XY2
Empirical formula weight = V.D.
Molecular weight = 2 x V.D.
∴ Molecular formula = n[E.F.] = 2[XY2] = X2Y4
