Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present.

The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
Cu + 2AgNO3 mc021-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107.9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu?
a.26.95
b.107.9
c.215.91
d.431.82

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 107.9 grams

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

\text{Moles of }Cu=\frac{\text{Mass of }Cu}{\text{Molar mass of }Cu}=\frac{31.75g}{63.5g/mole}=0.5moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Ag.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of Cu react to give 2 mole of Ag

So, 0.5 mole of Cu react to give 0.5\times 2=1 mole of Ag

Now we have to calculate the mass of Ag

\text{Mass of }Ag=\text{Moles of }Ag\times \text{Molar mass of }Ag

\text{Mass of }Ag=(1mole)\times (107.9g/mole)=107.9g

Therefore, the mass of Ag produced is, 107.9 grams

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

A sample of ideal gas is in a sealed container. The pressure of the gas is 485 torr , and the temperature is 40 ∘C . If the temp
Fantom [35]

Answer:

537.68 torr.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:

<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>

P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,

P₂ = ??? torr, ​T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.

∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.

If we start with 8000 atoms of radium-226 how much would remain after 3200 years?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

  • Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
  • Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
  • Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

 = 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

                                = 8000 × 0.25

                                 = 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

Why does nuclear fusion occur in stars but not on Earth?
disa [49]

Answer:

C.

Fusion reactions require a lot of heat and pressure

Explanation:

nuclear fusion takes place only at extremely high temperatures. That's because a great deal of energy is needed to overcome the force of repulsion between the positively charged nuclei. ... A: Nuclear fusion doesn't occur naturally on Earth because it requires temperatures far higher than Earth temperatures.
