One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate,

in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 250.mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 89.mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

Molar concentration of CuSO_4 solution = 0.0056 moles / liter

Explanation:

Looking at the chemical reaction we realize that the precipitate, formed by adding the iron powder, is cooper.

Then for finding the number of moles of precipitated copper:

number.of.moles= \frac{mass (g)}{molecular.mass (g/mole)}

number.of.moles.of.solid.copper = \frac{0.089}{63.5} =1.4*10^{3}

From the chemical reaction we deduce that 1.4*10^{3} moles of Cu equals to 1.4*10^{3} moles of CuSO_4 in the initial solution.

So molar concentration is defined as:

molar.concentration = \frac{number.of.moles}{solution.volume (liters)}

molar.concentration.of.CuSO_4.solution= \frac{1.4*10^{3}}{0.250}= 5.6*10^{3} moles/liter = 0.0056 moles/liter

Answer:

M=5.6x10^{-3}M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we first must consider the given already-balanced chemical reaction to realize that 89 mg of copper were recovered, moreover we can relate such mass with the employed moles of copper (II) sulfate via this reaction's stoichiometry as follows:

n_{CuSO_4}=89mg Cu*\frac{1gCu}{1000mgCu} *\frac{1molCu}{63.546gCu} *\frac{1molCuSO_4}{1molCu} \\n_{CuSO_4}=1.4x10^{-3}molCuSO_4

Now, if we state the molarity (mol/L) as the required concentration, we apply its mathematical definition as shown below:

M=\frac{n_{CuSO_4}}{V_{sln}} =\frac{1.4x10^{-3}molCuSO_4}{0.250L} \\M=5.6x10^{-3}M

Best regards.

⭐ Elements in which the last electron enters any one of the five d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells are called as <u>d-block</u><u> </u><u>elem</u><u>ents</u> .

⭐ But the last electron of Zn , Cd , Hg and Cn enters in the s-oribital of their respective ultimate shells rather than the d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells . Therefore, these elements cannot be regarded as d-block elements .

☃️ But properties of these elements resemble to the d-block elements rather than s-block elements .

☃️ Therefore, to make the study of periodic classification of elements more rational, they are studied along with d-block elements .

✍️ Thus <u>on the basis of properties</u> all transition elements are d- block elements, but <u>on the basis of electronic configuration</u> all d -block elements are not transition elements .

Answer:

Oxidation  half  reaction  is  written   as    follows when  using  using  reduction potential  chart

example  when  using  copper  it is  written  as  follows

CU2+   +2e-  --> c(s)  +0.34v

oxidasation  is the  loos  of  electron  hence copper oxidation  potential  is  as  follows

cu (s)  -->  CU2+   +2e    -0.34v

Wet steam at 1100 kPa expands at constant enthalpy (as in a throttling process) to 101.33 kPa, where its temperature is 105°C. W
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

There are 3 steps of this problem.

Explanation:

Step 1.

Wet steam at 1100 kPa expands at constant enthalpy to 101.33 kPa, where its temperature is 105°C.

Step 2.

Enthalpy of saturated liquid Haq = 781.124 J/g

Enthalpy of saturated vapour Hvap = 2779.7 J/g

Enthalpy of steam at 101.33 kPa and 105°C is H2= 2686.1 J/g

Step 3.

In constant enthalpy process, H1=H2 which means inlet enthalpy is equal to outlet enthalpy

So, H1=H2

     H2= (1-x)Haq+XHvap.........1

    Putting the values in 1

    2686.1(J/g) = {(1-x)x 781.124(J/g)} + {X x 2779.7 (J/g)}

                        = 781.124 (J/g) - x781.124 (J/g) = x2779.7 (J/g)

1904.976 (J/g) = x1998.576 (J/g)

                     x = 1904.976 (J/g)/1998.576 (J/g)

                     x = 0.953

So, the quality of the wet steam is 0.953
