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

What do organisms have based on their functions?
mote1985 [20]
Unicellular organisms, cells perform all the basic actions and functions required for living like nutrition, respiration, reproduction etc.

In multicellular organisms, cells divide their tasks on the basis of "DIVISION OF LABOUR" to specialize in certain functions besides respiration etc. Like conduction in neurons, excitation in muscles, RBC production by bone marrow etc.

Use water as an example to contrast the properties of a compound with the elements from which it is composed
ahrayia [7]
Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.

Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.

For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C

Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.
