Answer:

16.46 g.

Explanation:

It is a stichiometry problem.

We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

2Cu + Zn(NO₃)₂ → Zn + 2Cu(NO₃).

It is clear that 2.0 moles of Cu reacts with 1.0 mole of Zn(NO₃)₂ to produce 1.0 mole of Zn and 2.0 moles of Cu(NO₃).

We need to calculate the number of moles of the reacted Cu (32.0 g) using the relation:

n = mass / molar mass

The no. of moles of Cu = mass / atomic mass = (32.0 g) / (63.546 g/mol) = 0.503 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

2.0 moles of Cu produces → 1.0 mole of Zn, from the stichiometry.

0.503 mole of Cu produces → ??? mole of Zn.

The no. of moles of Zn produced = (1.0 mol)(0.503 mol) / (2.0 mol) = 0.2517 mol.

∴ The grams of Zn produced = no. of moles x atomic mass of Zn = (0.2517 mol)(65.38 g/mol) = 16.46 g.

So I am lost and I don't know how what any of those conversion factor things are and I'm wondering how to do #2,3, and 4. (I did

dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

#2.

A centigram is 1/100 of a gram, so that means a gram equals 100 centigrams.

Therefore you multiply 72.4 grams by 100/1 (or just 100), and get 7240 cg.

You did that one right but put the wrong unit in the answer. It is is cg ( centigrams).

#3.

1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, and I kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. So one kiloliter is 1000*1000 milliliters or 1,000,000 milliliters.

The conversion factor would be

1/1000000

#4.

1 gigabyte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

I byte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

So 1 gigabyte is 10^9 * 10^9 nanobytes, or 10^18.

The conversion factor would be (1*10^18)/1.

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."

Draw all four products obtained when 2-ethyl-3-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene is treated with HBr at room temperature and show the me

LenKa [72]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case we have reaction of addition. In this case a diene reacting with an acid as HBr. This reaction is known as Hydrohalogenation, and, as we have a diene, this kind of reaction can be done as 1,4 addition. Which means that the reaction will be undergoing with an adition in the carbon 1, and carbon 4.

At room temperature we can expect that this reaction can be done in thermodynamic conditions, Now, as the problem states that is forming 4 products, we can expect products of a 1,2 addition too. This product can be formed if the reaction is taking place in the most stable carbocation, and then, by resonance, we can expect the 1,4 product too.

Now, the HBr can be attacked by the double bond of the first position, giving two possible products or by the double bond of the third position giving the other two products. These products are all possible, obviously the most stable will be the major of all of them, but the other three are perfectly possible. One product is formed without doing much, and the other by resonance. Same happens with the other double bond.

In the picture below, you have the mechanism for all the 4 products.

Hope this helps
