Question
You are given a sample that contains a mixture of the following two arsenic-containing minerals: gersdorffite (NiAsS) and getchellite (AsSbS3). You start with a sample of this mixture that has a mass of 57.38 grams. You perform a reaction that converts the arsenic (As) in these minerals into the form arsenic(V) oxide (As2O5), and 36.03 grams of this product are obtained.
What is the percent by mass of gersdorffite in the original sample?
Please, give all your calculations with three significant figures

- Cobalt(II) chloride forms several hydrates with the general formula CoCl2 ·x H2O , where x is an integer. If the hydrate is heated, the water can be driven off, leaving pure CoCl2 behind. Suppose a sample of a certain hydrate is heated until all the water is removed, and it's found that the mass of the sample decreases by 22.% . Which hydrate is it? That is, what is x ?arrow_forwardA student performed a similar experiment to the one you performed: They took a crucible and lid, cleaned them, heated them over a flame, and after cooling found their combined mass to be 22.538 g. The student then added a sample of zinc(II) sulfate hydrate (ZnSO4·“n”H2O) to the crucible so the combined mass of the sample, crucible, and lid was 25.896 g. They heated this sample for 10 minutes with the lid ajar, let it cool, and measured the mass of the crucible, sample, and lid to be 25.054 g. a. Based on this experiment, what is the formula for they hydrated zinc(II) sulfate compound? b. The student later looked on the reagent bottle for zinc(II) sulfate hydrate and found the actual formula was ZnSO4·7H2O. If everything had been done correctly, what value should the student have expected for the final mass of their sample, crucible, and lid after heating?arrow_forwardCarbon tetrachloride was prepared by reacting 23.6 g of carbon disulfide and 47 g of chlorine gas.
