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

frez [133]

Given :

Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C.

The usual percent yield of C in this reaction is 40%.

10.0 g of A are reacted with excess Compound B, and 6.4 g of Compound C

To Find :

The theoretical yield of C.

Solution :

We know, % yield is given by :

\%\ yield = \dfrac{actual\ yield}{theoretical\ yield }\times 100

Putting given values , we get :

40 = \dfrac{6.4}{theoretical\ yield }\times 100\\\\theoretical\ yield=\dfrac{6.4\times 100}{40}\\\\theoretical\ yield=16\ g

Therefore, theoretical yield of C is 16 g.

Hence, this is the required solution.

How was Earth’s atmosphere changed during the Great Oxygenation Event?
SpyIntel [72]

Consequences of oxygenation. Eventually, oxygen started to accumulate in the atmosphere, with two major consequences. Oxygen likely oxidized atmospheric methane (a strong greenhouse gas) to carbon dioxide (a weaker one) and water.
