Answer:

50.8g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Nubmer of mole of Cu₂O = 0.4mol

Unknown:

Mass of Cu produced = ?

Solution:

The balanced reaction equation:

Cu₂O + H₂ ⇄ 2Cu + H₂O

From the reaction, we know that:

1 mole of Cu₂O produced 2 moles of Cu

0.4 mol of Cu₂O would give 0.8mol of Cu

Now we know the number of moles of Cu produced because the limiting reactant here is Cu₂O. It was used up in the reaction in which the hydrogen gas was in excess.

To find the mass of Cu produced, we use the equation below :

Mass of Cu = Number of moles of Cu x molar mass of Cu

Molar mass of Cu = 63.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of Cu = 0.8 x 63.5 = 50.8g

In a chemical reaction, the element 13al will most preferably ________. in a chemical reaction, the element 13al will most prefe

Rasek [7]

Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.

A. how do you determine the charge of an element?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
