If 1.951 g BaCl2 nH2O yields 1.864 g of anhydrous BaSO4 after treatment with
sulfuric acid, calculate n.

5 Given that the molar mass of Na2SO4 nH2O is 322.1 g/mol, calculate the
.
value of n.

6 A 2.89 g sample of osmium oxide, OsxOy, contains 2.16 g of osmium. What are
. the values of x and y?

. A certain metal sulfide, MS2, is determined to be 40.064% sulfur by mass. What
is the identity of the metal M? (Hint: Assume 100g of compound is present)

An element X forms the pentabromide XBr5. Analysis of XBr5 shows that it contains 92.81% Br by
8
mass. What is element X? (Hint: Assume 100g of compound is present)

Naturally occurring silicon consists of 3 isotopes, Si-28, Si-29 and Si-30,
.
whose atomic masses are 27.9769, 28.9765 and 29.9738 respectively. The
most abundant isotope is Si-28 which accounts for 92.23% of naturally
occurring silicon. Given that the observed atomic mass of silicon is 28.0855
1 calculate the percentages of Si-29 and Si-30 in nature.
