Percent (%) Composition of CuO

Cu = 1 x 50g      - Multiply by one as there is one Cu

O = 1 x 12.5g      - Multiply by one as there is one O

CuO = 62.5g

% for Cu = 50g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 80%

% for O = 12.5g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 20%

Final Answer :

<em>Percent (%) Composition of CuO = </em>80% (Cu) & 20% (O)

Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction
Tatiana [17]

Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in S_{2}O^{2-}_{3} is +2 and I_{2}(aq) has 0 oxidation state.

In S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq) oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 2I^{-}(aq) oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

A sample of 1.000 g of a compound containing carbon and hydrogen reacts with oxygen at elevated temperature to yield 0.692 g H₂O
ollegr [7]

Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.381g

Mass of H_2O=0.692g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

The coin of silver (ag) having 8.5 grams weight.calculate the number of moles of silver in coin
AfilCa [17]

0.0788 will be the number of moles of silver in coin.

<h3><u>How to find the number of moles?</u></h3>

A mole is the mass of a material made up of the same number of fundamental components. Atoms in a 12 gram example are identical to 12C. Depending on the material, the fundamental units may be molecules, atoms, or formula units.

A mole fraction shows how many chemical elements are present. The value of 6.023 x 10²³ is equivalent to one mole of any material (Avagadro's number). It can be used to quantify the chemical reaction's byproducts. The symbol for the unit is mol.

The number of moles formula is denoted by the following expression:

Number of moles = Mass of substance/mass of one mole
