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}

Which of the following represents the least number of molecues?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Answer: a) 20g of H2O (18.02 g/mol) molecules=6.68x10^23

Explanation:

In order to find the amount of molecules of each of the options, we need to follow the following equation.

molecules=\frac{mass(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{atomic weight(g/mol)}

So, let´s get the number of molecules for each of the options.

a) molecules=\frac{20(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{18.02(g/mol)}=6.68x10^{23}molecules

b) molecules=\frac{77(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{16.06(g/mol)}=2.89x10^{24}molecules

c) molecules=\frac{68(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{42.09(g/mol)}=9.73x10^{23}molecules

d) molecules=\frac{100(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{44.02(g/mol)}=1.37x10^{24}molecules

d) molecules=\frac{84(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{20.01(g/mol)}=2.53x10^{24}molecules

the smalest number is in option a)

Best of luck.

A fog over a lake. what two changes of state must occur to produce the fog? do the water molecules absorb or release energy duri
Zolol [24]
The water from the lake must first evaporate from the liquid state to the gaseous state and then condense in the air to form vapors.
The water molecules absorb energy while evaporating and release it when condensing. Their motion gets faster when they are evaporating and slows back down upon condensation.

A sample of basalt has smaller crystals than a sample of granite. What is the most likely reason for this?
posledela
The most likely reason is that basalt is an extrusive rock, while granite is an intrusive rock. What this means is that basalt forms at the surface of the earth, where temperatures are cooler. Because of the cooler external temperature, basalt cools relatively quickly, and there isn't as much time for mineral crystals within the rock to align to form larger crystals while the rock is cooling. Granite, on the other hand, forms below the surface of the earth, where temperatures are significantly higher. Therefore, it doesn't cool as quickly, and the minerals within granite have more time to form larger crystals and the rock cools.
