Is burning of coal a reversible change??? If yes how?

2 answers:

No, for coal burning to be a reversible change, you would need the ability to take CO2 and turn it back into solid carbon.

I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides.

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

Answer: The given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where two small chemical species combine in their elemental state to form a single large chemical species.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which heat is released by the reaction. The heat is written on the product side of the reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)+\text{heat}$

The above chemical reaction is a type of synthesis and exothermic as two substances in their elemental state are combining. Also, heat is getting released in the reaction.

Hence, the given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

if you take a dried out white rose and place the stem in food coloring, will the rose turn the color you put the stem in

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Yes, this is true. The reason is that the flower transpires and sucks the water in and distributes it as much as it can. You can also flip it upside down and hang it with petals down , allowing the liquid to enter the flower and then retaining color for longer periods of time and having more color.

Copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper (II) sulfate in a single-replacement reaction. How many moles of copper can be

serg [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

3 CuSO₄ + 2 Al ⇒ 3 Cu + Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

160 g of CuSO₄ ----------------- 1 mol

156 g ----------------- x

x = (156 x 1) / 160

x = 0.975 moles

27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

29 g of Al -------------------------- x

x = (29 x 1)/27

x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical 3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental 0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.

3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

0.975 moles of CuSO₄ --------------- x

x = (0.975 x 3)/3

x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.
