The following reaction does not proceed to a product: H2O + Cu --> no reaction. Why is that?

I think the correct answer would be because copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace the bonds in it. Substances that are not oxidizing do not react with copper since the redox potentials are very low. Hope this answers the question.

The reason why H₂O +Cu does not proceed to a product is that

copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it (answer A)

Explanation

Replacement reaction is type of a reaction in which element react with compound and take place of another element in that compound.

That is the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from it's compound.

Since H₂ is more reactive than Cu in reactivity series therefore no reaction occur between H₂O +Cu since Cu cannot replace H₂ from its compound.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT

P = 2.90 atm
V = 4.80 L
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K
T = 62.0 + 273 = 335 K (make sure you convert from celsius to kelvin)

n = (2.90 • 4.80) / (0.08206 • 335) = 0.506 moles of gas

How many liters of CO2 are in 4.76 moles? (at STP)

dem82 [27]

Answer: The volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 4.76 moles

At STP:

1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 Liters

So, for 4.76 moles of carbon dioxide gas will occupy a volume of = $\frac{22.4L}{1mol\times 4.76mol=106.624L$

Hence, the volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common

Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.
