Find the no. Of electron involved in the electro deposition of 63.5g of cu from a solution of cuso4

1 answer:

8 0

This is a redox reaction, meaning reduction-oxidation reaction. This represents the reaction in one side of the electrode in an electrolysis set-up. First, we find the oxidation number of Cu in CuSO4:

(ox. # of Cu)+ ox.# of S + 4(ox.# of oxygen) = 0
(ox. # of Cu) + (6) + 4(-2) = 0
ox. # of Cu = 2+

CuSO4 ---> Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ + SO42- ----> Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ -----> Cu + 2e- (net ionic reaction)

The stoichiometric equation would be 2 electrons per mole Copper. Copper has a molar mass of 63.5 g/mol. Then, it would only need 2 electrons.

CO2+2H2O=H3O^++HCO3^-

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry Theory

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry Theory:

An acid is a substance that can donate one or more protons

A base is a substance which can accept one or more protons

Hydrogen atom which is neutral (No Charge) contains 1 positive proton, 1 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen atom has no Charge and it is neutral.

When an hydrogen atom loses an electron, Hydrogen ion is formed, which will contain 1 positive proton and 0 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen ion has a positive charge.

Hydrogen ion is also called as a proton since it has only 1 proton in it.

Hydrogen ion in water that is,

$H^++H_2O\Rightarrow H_3O^+$

$H_3O^+$ is called as Hydronium ion.

Acid loses H+ (proton) to form conjugate Base

Base gains H+ (proton) to form conjugate Acid

For example

Let us consider the example given in the question

$CO_2+2H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$ can be written as (removed 1 $H_2 O$ from both the sides )

$CO_2+H_2 O>H^++HCO_3^-$ or

$CO_2+H_2 O > H_2 CO_3$ reversing the equation

$H_2 CO_3+H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$

$H_2 CO_3$ is the acid which donates $H^+$ to form $HCO_3^-$

$H_2 O$ is the base which gains $H^+$ to form $H_3 O^+$

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base and $H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

The mass of Jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Jupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Jupiter =

kondaur [170]

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter's position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass. The correct answer is 11.9 yr. Option C.

As the Earth rotates on its axis creating day and night, it travels around the Sun in an elliptical orbit taking about 365 1/4 days to complete. The Earth's rotation axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane. This creates seasons. The elliptical nature of the Earth's orbit is due to the first forces pushing the Earth away from the Sun's disk.

The momentum of this throw being greater the Earth's orbit would have been more elliptical or it might have been completely ejected from the solar system forever. The Earth's orbit defines a two-dimensional plane called the Ecliptic. It takes about 365 days for the earth to revolve around the sun. After years of analysis, Kepler found that Mars' orbit was likely elliptical, with the Sun at one of his focal points of the ellipse. This led Kepler to discover that all planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits and that the Sun is at one of his two focal points.

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod

Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g
