When copper (Cu) and oxygen (O) combine, two different compounds are formed. The first compound contains 88.8% copper by mass, a
marusya05 [52]
1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ →  2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ →  2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.

What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

What is the percentage error of length measurement of 0.229cm if the correct value is 0.225cm
Mars2501 [29]

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%.

So first, we take our measured value, .299 cm, minus our known value, .225 cm.

.299 cm - .225 cm=.004 cm

Next, we divide that by our known value

\frac{.004}{.225}=.0177777778

Finally, multiply your answer by 100

.0177777778 x 100= 1.77777778 %

Round to three significant figures, and you're done.

=1.78 % error

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of  water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
