Given a balanced chemical equation below: 3Cu(s) + 2H3PO4 --- > Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2 How many moles of copper are needed to react

with 5 moles of phosphoric acid?
Chemistry

Answer:

7.5 moles

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

3Cu + 2H3PO4 —> Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of Cu reacted with 2 moles of H3PO4.

Therefore, Xmol of Cu will react with 5 moles of H3PO4 i.e

Xmol of Cu = (3 x 5)/2

Xmol of Cu = 7.5 moles

Therefore, 7.5 moles of Cu are needed to react with 5 moles of H3PO4.

What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left?
Alona [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Increasing temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Principle of Le Chatelier states that <u>if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. </u>

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

  • Temperature
  • The pressure
  • The volume
  • The concentration of reactants or products

In the case of the reaction in the question, <u>the change that moves the balance to the left will be the one that moves it towards the reagents</u>, that is, that favors the production of reagents instead of products.

  • Decreasing the concentration of SO3 and increasing the concentration of SO2 <u>will favor the production of SO3</u>, which is the product of the reaction.
  • Decreasing the volume increases the pressure of the system and the balance will move to where there is less number of moles. In the case of the reaction in question, we have 3 moles of molecules in the reactants (1 mole of O2 + 2 moles of SO2) while in the products there are 2 moles of SO3 only, therefore, <u>decreasing the volume will displace the balance to the right</u>, which corresponds to the sense in which there is less number of moles.

The reaction of the question is an exothermic since ΔH <0, therefore in the reaction heat is produced and it can be written in the following way,

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) + heat

  • So, if we increase the temperature we will be adding heat to the system, so the balance would move to the left to compensate for the excess heat in the system.

Protein x has an absorptivity of 0.4 ml·mg-1 ·cm-1 at 280 nm. What is the absorbance at 280 nm of a 2.0 mg ·ml-1 solution of pro
Evgen [1.6K]

Absorbance measures the ability of the substance to absorb light at a specific wavelength.

Absorbance is also equal to the product of molar absorptivity, path length and molar concentration.

The mathematical expression is given as:

A= \epsilon l c       (1)

where, A = absorbance

\epsilon =  molar absorptivity

l = path length

c  = molar concentration.

The above formula is said to Beer's Law.

Absorptivity of protein x  = 0.4 mLmg^{-1}cm^{-1}

Path length = 1 cm

Molar concentration = 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

Put the values in formula (1)

Absorbance at 280 nm = 0.4 mL mg^{-1}cm^{-1}\times 1 cm \times 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

= 0.8

Thus, absorbance at 280 nm = 0.8
