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.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer : The reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of FeCl_3 = 3.00 mole

Moles of O_2 = 2.00 mole

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction.

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2FeCl_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)+3Cl_2(g)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of FeCl_3 react with 1 mole of O_2

So, 3.00 moles of FeCl_3 react with \frac{3.00}{2}=1.5 moles of O_2

From this we conclude that, O_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and FeCl_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, O_2

Which of these pairs indicates an incorrect coupling of reversible reactions?dehydration synthesis and hydrolysisanabolic and ca
Olegator [25]

Answer:

option C= hydrolysis and break down

Explanation:

All other three pairs are correct coupling of each others.

Option A= dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis

Dehydration synthesis:

In dehydration synthesis monomers combine through the covalent bonds and form large molecules. The large molecules are called polymers. The water as a byproduct also released when monomers joints together.

Hydrolysis:

In hydrolysis the polymers are break down into monomers by using water molecules. The catalysts are also required in this process.

Option B= Catabolic and Anabolic

Anabolic:

In this process smaller molecules combine to gather to form large complex molecules by using energy.

For example simple glucose molecules join together to form large disaccharides.

Catabolic:

It is the break down of large complex molecules to the smaller molecules.

For example during cellular respiration sugar molecules break down and generate energy.

Option D=  Break down and synthesis

The break down and synthesis are also reverse pair of each others. The  synthesis involve the formation of molecules form smaller component while the break down involve destruction of molecules into smaller units.

What label is given to an orbital with quantum numbers n=4 and l=1?
shtirl [24]

The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.
