What mass of silver oxide, ag2o is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, agc10h9n4so2, from the reaction of silver oxide and sulfadiazine?
2c10h10n4so2 + ag2o ? 2agc10h9n4so2 + h2o

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Thus,

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass  of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
