5. Identifying the limiting reagent: Given the reaction 2Cu + S → Cu2S, if you had 3 moles of both Cu and S, which would you run

The reaction is

2Cu + S → Cu2S

So as per balanced given reaction we need one mole of sulphur over two moles of copper

Or

To react with one mole of sulphur we need two moles of copper

Thus we can say that the mole ration required for complete reaction will be

Cu : S = 2 : 1

As per the given problem the moles of each Cu and S are 3 moles

Thus for each three moles of given sulphur we need six moles of Cu to give three moles of Cu2S

However we have only three moles of copper available

So the limiting reagent is copper

It is going to decide the actual yield of reaction

The three moles of Copper will get completely utilized and only 1.5 moles of S will be used in the reaction making S an excess reagent

The moles of S left will be = 1.5 moles

moles of Cu2S formed = 1.5 moles

Find the volume of hydrogen gas formed when 1.5g of aluminum reacts with aq NaOH at 27 degrees Celcius.
Rudiy27

Answer:

how can I solve this ?4Al+3O2 produce 2Al2O3 find a) oxygen atoms needed to react with 5.4 g of aluminium b) grams of oxygen needed to react with 0.6 mol of aluminium?

(A) n=m/M,

n(Al)=5.4/27=0.2 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.2*3/4=0.15 moles

Number of oxygen atoms= n(O2)*Avogadro's number

=0.15*6.02*10^23=9.03*10^22 oxgyen atoms

(B)

n=m/M

n(Al)=0.6/27=0.02222 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.016666 moles

m=n*M

m(O2)=0.0166666*32=0.53333 grams

Pls hurrry<br>what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends
Kay [80]
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.

If 21.00 mL of a 0.68 M solution of C6H5NH2 required 6.60 mL of the strong acid to completely neutralize the solution, what was
Andru [333]

Answer:

pH = 2.46

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this neutralization reaction may be assumed to occur in a 1:1 mole ratio between the base and the strong acid, it is possible to write the following moles and volume-concentrations relationship for the equivalence point:

n_{acid}=n_{base}=n_{salt}

Whereas the moles of the salt are computed as shown below:

n_{salt}=0.021L*0.68mol/L=0.01428mol

So we can divide those moles by the total volume (0.021L+0.0066L=0.0276L) to obtain the concentration of the final salt:

[salt]=0.01428mol/0.0276L=0.517M

Now, we need to keep in mind that this is an acidic salt since the base is weak and the acid strong, so the determinant ionization is:

C_6H_5NH_3^++H_2O\rightleftharpoons  C_6H_5NH_2+H_3O^+

Whose equilibrium expression is:

Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5NH_2][H_3O^+]}{C_6H_5NH_3^+}

Now, since the Kb of C6H5NH2 is 4.3 x 10^-10, its Ka is 2.326x10^-5 (Kw/Kb), we can also write:

2.326x10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{0.517M}

Whereas x is:

x=\sqrt{0.517*2.326x10^{-5}}\\\\x=3.47x10^-3

Which also equals the concentration of hydrogen ions; therefore, the pH at the equivalence point is:

pH=-log(3.47x10^{-3})\\\\pH=2.46

Regards!

The experimental procedure has you wash your thermometer and dry it after you measure the temperature of naoh solution and befor
Rzqust [24]
<span>If you do not wash and dry the thermometer after every time you use it in this scenario, the temperature could be affected by the NaOH residue. This could make it so that your findings were inaccurate, so in order to be efficient, this precaution needs to be taken.</span>
