0.45 g of hydrated sodium carbonate crystals were heated until 3.87 of anhydrous power remained. How many moles of water are there in one mole of hydrated salt?

Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10

Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids

If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:

Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)

The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O

The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound

10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so

mass H₂O released :

mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g

mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =

can i get the brainiest answer

i answered it first

nanotechnology is a powerful tool in biomaterials research as it creates numerous possibilities for the engineering of functional molecules. nano-bio refers to projected ability to incorporate biomimicry into various materials at nanoscale.
