CuSO₄ + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄

M(CuSO₄)=159.61 g/mol
m(CuSO₄)=638.44 g
n(CuSO₄)=m(CuSO₄)/M(CuSO₄)
n(CuSO₄)=638.44/159.61= 4.00 mol

M(NaOH)=40.00 g/mol
m(NaOH)=240.0 g
n(NaOH)=m(NaOH)/M(NaOH)
n(NaOH)=240.0/40.00= 6.00 mol

on the reaction equation
CuSO₄ : NaOH = 1 : 2

in practice
CuSO₄ : NaOH = 4 : 6 = 1 : 1.5 ⇒ NaOH is the limiting reactant

Answer:

NaOH is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

Considering the chemiacl reaction :

CuSO₄ + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄

Molar Mass CuSO₄ = 159 g/mol

Molar mass NaOH = 40 g/mol

Due to stoichiometry :

159 g CuSO₄ = 80 g NaOH

Then: 638.44 g CuSO₄ should react with 321.23 g NaOH, but we have 240.o g of NaOH, so this last is the limiting reactant

The chemical equation, Cr + Fe(NO3)2 → Fe + Cr(NO3)3, is an example of which type of reaction?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Redox type

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Cr +  3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃

2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.

If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3

Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0

Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.

Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:

Fe²⁺  +  2e⁻ ⇄  Fe    (Reduction)

Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺  +  3e⁻    (Oxidation)

When an element is being  reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.

A balloon filled with helium gas at 1.00 atm occupies 12.9 L. What volume would the balloon occupy in the upper atmosphere, at a
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

67,9 L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law indicates that the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas, for a constant amount of gas we can write:

P1V1=P2V2

For the problem:

P1= 1 atm, V1= 12,9 L

P2=0,19 atm, V2=?

Therefore:

V2=P1V1/P2.................... V2=1 atm*12,9L/0,19 atm = 67,9 L

The balloon would occupy a volume of 67,9 L in the upper atmosphere.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

option c) 3 is the correct option

Explanation

as we  know that 3rd principal energy level contains 3 sub levels,which are named as s,p and d. These sub levels further contain different numbers of orbitals,

and these sub levels can be termed as  regions of probability of finding an electron, and each orbital may have a maximum number of two electrons in it.
