14.7 g of chromium are need to produce 27.0 g of copper in the reaction:

2 Cr + 3 CuSO4 → Cr2(SO4)3 + 3 Cu. In this reaction, chromium is the limiting reactant and CuSO4 is the excess reactant.

Further Explanation:

The problem given is an example of a stoichiometry problem. Stoichiometry involves the determination of the amounts of products formed and amount of reactants consumed in a chemical reaction. It uses the ratio of the reactants and products given by the balanced chemical equation.

Limiting reactant is the reactant that determines how much of the product(s) will be obtained. In this problem, chromium is the limiting reactant.

To solve the amount of limiting reactant we use several steps:

  1. Calculate the moles of product (Cu) formed.
  2. Use the stoichiometric ratio of the product (Cu) and the limiting reactant (Cr) to get the number of moles of Cr used up.
  3. Convert the moles of Cr used up to mass (in grams).

STEP 1: Convert mass to moles using the equation below:

no. \ of \ moles \ = given \ mass \ (\frac{1 \ mole}{molar \ mass})

For this problem,

no. \ of \ moles \ Cu \ = 27.0 \ g \ Cu \ (\frac{1 \ mole \ Cu}{ 63.55 \ g}) \\\boxed {no. \ of \ moles \ Cu \ = 0.4249}

STEP 2: Calculate the number of moles of Cr used up using the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced equation: 3 moles Cu: 2 moles Cr

moles \ of \ Cr \ = given \ moles \ Cu (\frac{2 \ mol \ Cr}{3 \ mol \ Cu})\\moles \ of \ Cr \ = \ 0.4249\ mol\ Cu (\frac{2 \ mol \ Cr}{3 \ mol \ Cu})\\ \\\boxed {moles \ of \ Cr \ = \ 0.2832 }

STEP 3: Convert moles of Cr to mass (in grams).

mass \ = given \ moles \ (\frac{molar \ mass}{1 \ mole})\\

To get the mass of Cr,

mass \ of \ Cr \ = 0.2832 \ mol \ (\frac{52.00 \ g}{1 \ mol})\\\boxed {mass \ of \ Cr \ = 14.7 \ g}

Un átomo X posee 29 protones y de carga +2 ¿Cuántos electrones tiene?
lesya [120]

Responder:

27

Explicación:

Dado que:

Número de protones en el átomo X = 29

Carga en el átomo X = +2

Si no hay cargo neto;

número de protones = número de electrones

Sin embargo, dado que el átomo X tiene una carga de +2 (dando 2 electrones).

Por lo tanto,

Número de electrones = número de protones - número de carga en el átomo)

Número de electrones = (29 - 2) = 27

Which is the best reason for choosing the beaker for heating the solution? The beaker is the only container that can withstand h
lyudmila [28]

Answer: The beaker will not tip over when placed on the hot plate


Justification:


Since beakers have flat surface bottoms (usually and this is the condition to use them for this particular application) they can be placed safely on the hot plate without the risk that the they tip over.


Beakers are wide mouth cylindrical vessels used in laboratories to store, mix and heat liquids. Most are made of glass, in which case the glass is resistant to the flame and does not break when exposed to high temperatures or when is heated by direct contact on a hot plate.


So, their safe shape (flat bottom) that makes them stable, along with their ability to withstand high temperatures, make them suitable to heat solutions in laboratories.
