If 15.60g of a hydrated compound is heated in an oven for several hours, its mass drops to 8.63g. assuming that the reduction in mass is due to the loss of water what is the percentage of water in the original hydrate?

Iwill give extra points to who gets this right

Suppose that a certain fortunate person has a net worth of $71.0 billion ($7.10×1010). if her stock has a good year and gains $3.20 billion (3.20×109) in value, what is her new net worth?

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .
