a sample of copper wire with a mass of 1.659 g is heated with excess powdered sulfur until the copper has combined with the sulf

ur, and all the extra sulfur has been burned off. The final product (a sulfide of copper) has a mass of 2.080 g. Calculate the empirical formula of the product, and name it.

First you figure out how many grams of sulfur has been used.
2.080g - 1.659g = 0.421g of S used
Now change all of your grams to mols.
1.659g of Cu / 63.546g/mol = 0.02611mol of Cu
0.421g of S / 32.065g/mol = 0.01313 mol of S
From this you can see that S has less so we divide both numbers by the number of moles of S so we can get a ratio of S to Cu.
0.01313/0.01313 = 1 for S
0.02611/0.01313 = 2 for Cu
So the empirical formula would be Cu2S or copper sulfide.

While following the Dumas method, a student assumes that the contents of the container are the same temperature as the water bat
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

the Molar mass will be smaller as the content of the container is not directly proportional to the temperature of the water bath.

Which substance has a mass is 13.5 grams, and its volume is 5 cm 3.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Substance is Aluminium

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 13.5 grams

Volume; V = 5 cm³

Formula for density is;

density = m/V

Density = 13.5/5

Density = 2.7 g/cm³

From the table attached, we can see that the element with a corresponding density of 2.7 is Aluminium

State which of the following set of quantum number would be possible and which would be permissible for an electron in an atom.
raketka [301]

Answer:

The correct option is: e) n=4, l=3, m_{l} = - 2 , m_{s} = - 1/2                                              

Explanation:

The four quantum numbers that describe the electrons in an atom are: The principal: n, azimuthal: l, magnetic: m, and  spin: s.

For a given electron, the values of the quantum numbers should be in the <u>given range</u>- principal quantum number: n ≥ 1;

azimuthal quantum number: 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1;

magnetic quantum number: −l ≤ m_{l} ≤ +l;

spin quantum number: −s ≤ m_{s} ≤ +s

Now, for n= 4,

The value of l: 0 to n − 1 =  0 to 3 = 0, 1, 2, 3

The value of m_{l} for l= 3 : -3 to +3 = -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

The value of m_{s}: -1/2, +1/2

<u>Therefore, the given set of quantum numbers</u>: n=4, l=3, m_{l} = - 2 , m_{s} = - 1/2;  <u>are possible and permissible for an electron in an atom.</u>
