A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solut

ion containing 0.75 grams of copper (II) chloride. A single replacement reaction takes place. Which statement explains the maximum amount of copper that the chemist can extract using this reaction? Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant Approximately 1.8 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant Approximately 0.36 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant Approximately 1.8 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant

Answer:

Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.
  • We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

<em>2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.</em>

  • It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.
  • Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>

  • The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.
  • The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol.
  • <em>From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.</em>

∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³  mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol of CuCl₂ with <em>(2:3)</em> ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.

  • From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of  CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
  • So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
  • Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:

mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³  mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.

  • <u><em>So, the answer is:</em></u>

<em>Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.</em>

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called  NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures  an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

Consider the reaction: N2(g) + O2(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) Kc = 0.10 at 2000oC Starting with initial concentrations of 0.040 mol/L of N2 and
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

0.011 mol/L

Explanation:

This can be solved with something called an ICE table.

I = initial

C = change

E = equilibrium

Initially, there is 0.04 M of N₂, 0.04 M of O₂, and 0 M of NO.

x amount of N₂ reacts.  Since the stoichiometry is 1:1, x amount of O₂ also reacts.  This produces 2x of NO.

After the reaction, there is 0.04-x of N₂, 0.04-x of O₂, and 2x of NO.

Here it is in table form:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&N2&O2&NO\\I&0.04&0.04&0\\C&-x&-x&+2x\\E&0.04-x&0.04-x&2x\end{array}\right]

Now we can use the equilibrium constant:

Kc = [NO]² / ( [N₂] [O₂] )

Substituting:

0.10 = (2x)² / ( (0.04 - x) (0.04 - x) )

Solving:

0.10 = (2x)² / (0.04 - x)²

√0.10 = 2x / (0.04 - x)

(√0.10) (0.04 - x) = 2x

(√0.10)(0.04) - (√0.10)x = 2x

(√0.10)(0.04) = 2x + (√0.10)x

(√0.10)(0.04) = (2 + √0.10)x

x = (√0.10)(0.04) / (2 + √0.10)

x = 0.0055

At equilibrium, the concentration of NO is 2x.  So the answer is:

[NO] = 2x

[NO] = 0.011

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.011 mol/L.

The following steps refer to various stages in transmission at a chemical synapse. 1. Neurotransmitter binds with receptors asso
Furkat [3]

Answer:

3,2,5,1,4

Explanation:

A chemical synapse begins when an (3)<em>action potential reaches the axon terminal depolarizing the membrane</em> leading to the opening of the voltage-gated Na+ channels, this Na+ ions will then depolarize the presynaptic membrane, opening the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. (2)<em>Calcium ions then will initiate a cascade entering the neuron </em>that will lead to the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane (5)<em>causing the releasing of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.</em> (1)<em>These neurotransmitter will diffuse across the synaptic place in order to bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane,</em> (4)<em>particulary into the ligand-gated channels, opening them.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
