What is the maximum number of grams of copper that could be produced by the reaction of 30.0 of copper oxide with excess methane
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: 24.13 g Cu

Explanation:

<u>Given for this question:</u>

M of CuO = 30 g

m of CuO = 79.5 g/mol

Number of moles of CuO = (given mass ÷ molar mass) = (30 ÷ 79.5) mol

= 0.38 mol

The max number of CuO (s) that can be produced by the reaction of excess methane can be solved with this reaction:

CuO(s) + CH4(l) ------> H2O(l) + Cu(s) + CO2(g)

The balanced equation can be obtained by placing coefficients as needed and making sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of each element on the product side

4CuO(s) + CH4(l) ----> 2H2O(l) + 4Cu(s) + CO2(g)          

From the stoichiometry of the balanced equation:

4 moles of CuO gives 4 moles of Cu

1 mole of CuO gives 1 mol of Cu

0.38 mol of CuO gives 0.38 mol of Cu

Therefore, the grams of Cu that can be produced = 0.38 × molar mass of Cu

= 0.38 × 63.5 g

= 24.13 grams        

Therefore, 24.13 grams of copper could be produced by the reaction of 30.0 of copper oxide with excess methane

Iron(iii) oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air. How many moles of Fe2O3 are formed when 55.8 g or Fe reacts
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

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

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

  • <u>Moles of Iron</u>

Molar mass of iron = 55.8 g/mol

Given mass of iron = 558.8

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Moles=\frac{55.8g}{55.8g/mol}=1mole

For the given chemical equation:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of Iron produces 2 moles of Iron(III) oxide

So, 1 mole of Ion will produce = \frac{2}{4}\times 1 = 0.5 mole of Iron (III) oxide.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum? a p e x
givi [52]

Answer:

- the electromagnetic spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by how much energy the radiation carries. there is an opposite relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. as the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency and energy decrease, and vice versa.

- the order from longest wavelength (lowest energy) to shortest wavelength (highest energy) is as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays and gamma rays.

Explanation:

hope this helps!
