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>
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For liquids, it is the temperature that affects vapor pressure. <span>The </span>vapor pressure<span> of any substance increases non-linearly with </span>temperature<span> according to the Clausius–Clapeyron </span>relation<span>. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>
O2=32 g/ mol
1.15/32=0.035
N2=28 g/mol
1.55/28=0.055
in STP every 22.4 litters is 1 mol
A. Combustion since it can’t be nuclear….?
