Answer : The mass of excess reactant will be left over is 4.03 g and mass of Cu(NO_3)_2  is 34.2 g.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Cu = 9.85 g

Mass of AgNO_3 = 31.0 g

Molar mass of Cu = 64 g/mole

Molar mass of AgNO_3 = 170 g/mole

Molar mass of Cu(NO_3)_2 = 188 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Cu and AgNO_3.

\text{ Moles of }Cu=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Cu}{\text{ Molar mass of }Cu}=\frac{9.85g}{64g/mole}=0.154moles

\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{31.0g}{170g/mole}=0.182moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of AgNO_3 react with 1 mole of Cu

So, 0.182 moles of AgNO_3 react with \frac{0.182}{2}=0.091 moles of Cu

From this we conclude that, Cu is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and AgNO_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Moles of remaining excess reactant = 0.154 - 0.091 = 0.063 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of excess reactant will be left over.

\text{ Mass of }Cu=\text{ Moles of }Cu\times \text{ Molar mass of }Cu

\text{ Mass of }Cu=(0.063moles)\times (64g/mole)=4.03g

Now we have to calculate the moles of Cu(NO_3)_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of AgNO_3 react to give 1 mole of Cu(NO_3)_2

So, 0.182 moles of AgNO_3 react to give \frac{0.182}{2}=0.091 moles of Cu(NO_3)_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of Cu(NO_3)_2

\text{ Mass of }Cu(NO_3)_2=\text{ Moles of }Cu(NO_3)_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }Cu(NO_3)_2

\text{ Mass of }Cu(NO_3)_2=(0.182moles)\times (188g/mole)=34.2g

Therefore, the mass of Cu(NO_3)_2  is 34.2 grams.

The balanced chemical reaction:

<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3

The limiting reactant is AgNO3.

0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2

0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess

<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

1. 90.0 mL of distilled water is added to a 10.0mL sample of 0.150mol/L sodium
aniked [119]

Answer: dilute

Explanation:

A concentrated solution which is used to prepare solutions of lower concentrations by diluting it with addition of water.

A dilute solution is one which contains lower concentration.

Using Molarity equation:

M_1 =concentration of stock solution = 0.150 mol/L

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 10.0 ml

M_2 = concentration of dilute solution = ?

V_2 = volume of dilute solution = (10.0+90.0) ml = 100.0 ml

0.150\times 10.0=M_2\times 100.0

M_2=0.015mol/L

As the concentration is less than the original concentration, the solution is termed as dilute.
