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

Rank the following transitions in a hydrogen atom in order of increasing wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that could prod
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

n=2 to n=4 < n=6 to n=8 < n=10 to n=12 < n=14 to n=16

Explanation:

According to Neils Bohr, electrons in an atom are found in specified energy levels. Transitions are possible from one energy level to another when the electron receives sufficient energy usually in the form of a photon of electromagnetic radiation of appropriate frequency and wavelength. The energy of this photon corresponds to the energy difference between the two energy levels. Thus the higher the energy difference between energy levels, the greater the energy of the photon required to cause the transition and the shorter the wavelength of the photon.

High energy photons have a very short wavelength. It should be noted that as n increases, the energy of successive energy levels decreases and transitions between them now occurs at longer wavelengths. Hence, the highest energy and shortest wavelength of photons are required for transition involving lower values of n because such electrons are closer to the nucleus and are more tightly bound to it than electrons found at a greater distance from the nucleus.

Hence transition involving electrons at higher energy levels occur at a longer wavelength compared to transition involving electrons closer to the nucleus. This is the basis for the arrangement of wavelengths required to effect the various electronic transitions shown in the answer.

whg doe sthe transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen cause the ions produced to attract eachother
almond37 [142]
Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell. 

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.

Which of the following statements is true?
vlabodo [156]

In an unsaturated solution, the amount of solute is less than required in the solution. So, it can dissolve more solute.

Solid state is more dense than the liquid state as the molecules are closely packed in a solid.

Density is temperature dependent as with increase in temperature volume increases. So, the density decreases.

Like dissolves like. A polar solute will dissolve in a polar solvent.

So, the correct statement among the given options is B.For most substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
