When a body is partially or totally immersed in a fluid it displaces fluid with a volume equivalent to its volume.
The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of copper
Therefore; mass of copper will be;
= 8.9 × 13 = 115.7 g
The mass of copper is 116 grams

What cells do you think is in metaphase? why?

Tcecarenko [31]

Etaphase is a stage during the process of cell division (mitosis or meiosis). Usually, individual chromosomes cannot be observed in the cell nucleus. However, during metaphase of mitosis or meiosis the chromosomes condense and become distinguishable as they align in the center of the dividing cell.

Consider the following reaction mechanism:

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step 2 (the slow step).

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.

Gaseous butane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 13. g of butane is m

12345 [234]

Answer: The maximum amount of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 20.16 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For butane:

Given mass of butane = 13 g

Molar mass of butane = 58.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of butane}=\frac{13g}{58.12g/mol}=0.224mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 70.9 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{70.9g}{32g/mol}=2.216mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of butane and oxygen gas follows:

$2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane reacts with 13 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.224 moles of butane will react with = $\frac{13}{2}\times 0.224=1.456mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, butane is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 10 moles of water

So, 0.224 moles of butane will produce = $\frac{10}{2}\times 0.224=1.12moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 1.12 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.12mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1.12mol\times 18g/mol)=20.16g$

Hence, the maximum amount of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 20.16 grams
