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

laiz [17]

Answer:

Environment A is not undergoing succession, and Environment B is.

Explanation:

Ecological succession is a gradual process in which ecosystems significantly change over time. Ecological succession is a term used by scientists to describe the change in the structure of a community of different species, or ecosystem. This concept of ecological succession stems from a desire to understand the patterns of change in large and complex ecosystems like forests and how they can exist in places known to be recently formed, such as volcanic islands.

In environment A, the ecosystem is not really changing, organisms are merely returning to their natural habitat. It does not represent any change in the ecosystem.

In environment B, the original ecosystem has become grossly modified, first by the appearance of lichen and mosses and subsequently by grasses shrubs and animals. These sequence of events correlate well with the idea of ecological succession presented in the opening paragraph hence environment B is undergoing ecological succession.

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL
