Mole Ratio
« on: February 09, 2007, 02:21:20 PM »
This molecule contains 33% water, find X
(MnI2)(XH2O)

----------

heres what i did

100g Compound(Xg water/X+309g) = 33g water

100(X/X+309) = 33

.33=(x/x+308.74)
x=152
152/18 = 8.4

Is this right??

Are you sure your X is the same X you are asked for?

Result is OK. Use brackets in denominator to remove ambiguity ie .33=x/(x+308) where x is mass of water in 1 mole of hydrate.

Note,  capital X is a number of water molecules in hydrate.

Quote
100(X/X+309) = 33
.33=(x/x+308.74)

Do not mix X and x in formulas above
