To answer this problem, we write first the stoichiometric equation. Thus we have,
Cu2S + O2 => 2Cu + SO2
Next, we check if the equation is balanced or not.
(left) (right)
2 Cu = 2 Cu
1 S = 1 S
2 O = 2 O
So the stoichiometric equation is balanced, let's proceed in solving the theoretical yield of Cu given 5 g of Cu2S.
First, we solve for Cu2S in moles,
5 g Cu2S x <u>1 mol Cu2S </u> = 0.0314 mol Cu2S
159.16 g Cu2s
Secondly, convert moles of Cu2S to moles Cu. Note for every mole of Cu2S we get 2 moles of Cu. Thus,
0.0314 mo Cu2S x <u> 2 mol Cu </u> = 0.0628 mole Cu<u>
</u> 1 mol Cu2S
Lastly, we convert mole Cu to g Cu via multiplying by Cu's MW.
0.0628 mole Cu x <u>63.546 g Cu </u> = 3.99 g Cu or 4 g Cu<u>
</u> 1 mole Cu
<em>ANSWER: 4 g Cu</em>
Organic Chemistry is a sub-unit of chemistry which refers to the scientific study of carbon compounds. It focuses on the structure, properties, composition, reactions, of carbon containing compounds.
Example of carbon compounds include salt, alcohol, ethane, methane, butane, benzene, hexane and more.
The Protons determine the identity.
Answer:
trigonal planar
Explanation:
The molecule SO3 is of the type AX3. The molecule is symmetrical and non polar.
There are three regions of electron density in the molecule. This corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry. This means that the three oxygen atoms are arranged at the corners of a triangle. The bond angle is 120 degrees.
