When copper (Cu) and oxygen (O) combine, two different compounds are formed. The first compound contains 88.8% copper by mass, a

nd the second compound contains 79.9% copper by mass. (Note: Assume a 100-gram sample of each compound.) (a) Show that Cu and O combine with each other in conformity with the law of multiple proportions. The small whole number ratio of the mass of Cu per gram of O in the first compound to the mass of Cu per gram of O in the second compound equals :1. This ratio indicates that Cu and O with each other in conformity with the law of multiple proportions.

1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ →  2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ →  2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.

Zinc and hydrochloric acid react to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas according to
stealth61 [152]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Zn to HCl = 1 : 2.

If we use all 2.0mol of Zn, we would need 2.0 * 2 = 4.0mol of HCl. However we only have 3.0mol of HCl.

Therefore HCl is limiting.

70 points and will give brainliest
ikadub [295]

Answer:

74mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molar mass of citric acid = 192g/mol

Molar mass of baking soda = 84g/mol

Concentration of citric acid  = 0.8M

Mass of baking powder = 15g

Unknown parameters:

Volume of citric acid = ?

Solution

       Equation of the reaction:

            C₆H₈O₇ + 3NaHCO₃ → Na₃C₆H₅O₇ + 3H₂O + 3CO₂

Procedure:

  • We work from the known parameters to the unknown. From the statement of the problem, we can approach the solution from the parameters of the baking powder.
  • From the baking powder, we can establish a molar relationship between the two reactants. We employ the mole concept in this regard.
  • We find the number of moles of the baking powder that went into the reaction using the expression below:

                Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                Number of moles =  \frac{15}{84} = 0.179mole

  • From the equation of the reaction, we can find the number of moles of the citric acid:

             3 moles of baking powder reacted with 1 mole of citric acid

 0.179 moles of baking powder would react with \frac{0.179}{3}:

          This yields 0.059mole of citric acid

  • To find the volume of the citric acid, we use the mole expression below:

    Volume of citric acid = \frac{number of moles}{concentration}

Volume of citric acid = \frac{0.059}{0.8} = 0.074L

Expressing in mL gives 74mL

How does insulin bind to cells and the mechanism involved in triggering the cells to take in glucose
Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR,  causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.

How much positive charge is in 0.7 kg of lithium? with each atom having 3 protons and 3 electrons. The elemental charge is 1.602
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

As a neutral lithium atom contains 3 protons and its elemental charge is given as 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C. Hence, we will calculate its number of moles as follows.

          Moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                     = \frac{0.7 \times 1000 g}{7 g/mol}

                     = 100 mol

According to mole concept, there are 6.023 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 1 mole. So, in 100 mol we will calculate the number of atoms as follows.

        No. of atoms = 100 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

                               = 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms

Since, it is given that charge on 1 atom is as follows.

                     3 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}C

                    = 4.806 \times 10^{-19}C

Therefore, charge present on 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms will be calculated as follows.

    6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms \times 4.806 \times 10^{-19} C

            28.95 \times 10^{6}C

Thus, we can conclude that a positive charge of 28.95 \times 10^{6}C is in 0.7 kg of lithium.
