(part 1 of 3) Copper reacts with silver nitrate through a single replacement. If 1.29 g of silver are produced from the reaction

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, we first write the corresponding equation to obtain:

$Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2Ag+Cu(NO_3)_2$

Thus, we proceed as follows:

Part 1 of 3: here, since the molar mass of silver and copper (II) nitrate are 107.87 and 187.55 g/mol respectively, and the mole ratio of the former to the latter is 2:1, we can set up the following stoichiometric expression:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{2molAg}*\frac{187.55gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.12gCu(NO_3)_2$

Part 2 of 3: here, the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol and the mole ratio of silver to copper is 2:1, the mass of the former that was used to start the reaction was:

$m_{Cu}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu}{2molAg}*\frac{63.55gCu)_2}{1molCu} \\\\m_{Cu}=0.380gCu$

Part 3 of 3: here, the molar mass of silver nitrate is 169.87 g/mol and their mole ratio 2:2, thus, the mass of initial silver nitrate is:

$m_{AgNO_3}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{2molAgNO_3}{2molAg}*\frac{169.87gAgNO_3}{1molAgNO_3} \\\\m_{AgNO_3}=2.03gAgNO_3$

Best regards!

How many liters of h2 gas, collected over water at an atmospheric pressure of 752 mm hg and a temperature of 21.0°c, can be made

natta225 [31]

Answer:
The balanced equation tells us that 1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H2.
1.566 g Zn x (1 mole Zn / 65.38 g Zn) = 0.02395 moles Zn
0.02395 moles Zn x (1 mole H2 / 1 mole Zn) = 0.02395 moles H2 produced
Now use the ideal gas law to find the volume V.
P = 733 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 atm) = 0.964 atm
T = 21 C + 273 = 294 K
PV = nRT
V = nRT/ P = (0.02395 moles H2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(294 K) / (0.964 atm) = 0.600 L
