look at the thread chem p5 tips..we were discussing it a few mins ago
i just checked it,im confused about the solubility part but other than that,we find the solid by subtracting ' (D) mass of boiling tube,water and solid' from ' (C) mass of boiling tube and water' OR we find solid by subtracting ' (E) mass of water' from ' (D) mass of boiling tube,water and solid' ?? please help me out i will be very grateful :)

In questions such as these:
"Explain why barium sulphate is less soluble than calcium sulphate"

The ms says:
down the group: the ∆Hsolution becomes more endothermic;
both lattice energy and ∆Hhydration become less (exothermic);
due to ionic radius (of M2+) increasing;
but ∆Hhydration changes more than lattice energy


Can someone please explain this to me?

  • Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.
    A sample of propyl ethanoate is hydrolysed by heating under reflux with aqueous sodium
    hydroxide. The two organic products of the hydrolysis are separated, purified and weighed.
    Out of the total mass of products obtained, what is the percentage by mass of each product?
    A 32.4 % and 67.6 %
    B 38.3 % and 61.7 %
    C 42.3 % and 57.7 %
    D 50.0 % and 50.0 %
Answer is C ... how?
