Answer:

               18.58 moles of Cu

Solution:

Data Given:

                  Chemical Formula of Tennantite  =  Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃

                  Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃  =  2290 g

                  M.Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃  =  1479.06 g.mol⁻¹

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ as,

                               Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                               Moles  =  2290 g ÷ 1479.06 g.mol⁻¹

                                Moles  =  1.548 mol

Step 2: Calculate Moles of Cu,

As,

                         1 mole of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ contains  =  12 moles of Cu

So,

               1.548 mol of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ will contain  =  X moles of Cu

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (1.548 mol × 12 mol) ÷ 1 mol

                     X  =  18.58 moles of Cu

A 50 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 90.0C. It is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 100 g of water
sergejj [24]
Q unknown = -Q H2O
Q H2O= (100g x 4.18 J/g C x (25C - 20C)
Q H2O = 2090J

-2090J = (50g x c x (25C-90C)
-2090J = -3250c
.64 = c

Explain what happens in a nuclear chain reaction
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Nuclear Chain Reactions. A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats. The process may be controlled (nuclear power) or uncontrolled (nuclear weapons).

Vlad [161]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?

a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.

b. All cobalt atoms are identical.

c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.

d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.

<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:

  • All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
  • Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
  • Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
  • Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
  • Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
  • The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

For the given options:

<u>For a:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.

  • <u>For b:</u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.

  • <u>For c: </u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.

  • <u>For d:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.

Hence, the correct options are b) and c).

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction
Ratling [72]

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.
