Answer:

0.977 moles of Copper are obtained. The limiting reagent is Copper (II) Sulfate.

Explanation:

First you need to write out a balanced chemical equation. Then you convert from 29.0 grams of Aluminum to moles of Aluminum. Take moles of Aluminum and convert to moles of Copper to get 1.61 moles. Then you take 156 grams of Copper (II) Sulfate and convert it to moles of Copper (II) Sulfate. After you have the moles of Copper (II) Sulfate you then need to convert it to moles of Copper to get 0.977 moles of Copper. 0.977 is the smaller number so it will be your answer and Copper (II) Sulfate will be your limiting reagent. Remember to also use significant figures when required.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

                  3 CuSO₄   +  2 Al   ⇒   3 Cu   +  Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

                160 g of CuSO₄  ----------------- 1 mol

                156 g                   -----------------  x

                      x = (156 x 1) / 160

                      x = 0.975 moles

               27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

               29 g of Al -------------------------- x

                x = (29 x 1)/27

                x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical     3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental  0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.      

                    3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

                 0.975 moles of CuSO₄ ---------------  x

                         x = (0.975 x 3)/3

                        x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.

For many purposes we can treat methane as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of . Suppose the temperature of a
Elza [17]

Answer:

The volume decreases 5.5%

Explanation:

First, the question is incomplete, you are not giving the values of the temperatures and the pressure. However, I managed to find one similar question, and the given data is the temperature is lowered from 21 °C to -8°C, and the pressure decreased by 5%. If your data is different, you should only replace your data in the procedure, and you'll get an accurate result.

Now, with this data, let's see what we can do.

If this is an ideal gas, the equation to use is:

PV = nRT

Now, we know that this gas is suffering a decrease in temperature and pressure, but the moles stay the same so:

n₁ = n₂ = n

The constant R, is the same for both conditions. The only thing that differs here is the volume, temperature, and pressure. Therefore:

P₁V₁ = nRT₁   -----> n = P₁V₁ / RT₁

Doing the same with the pressure and volume 2 we have:

n = P₂V₂ / RT₂

Equalling both expressions and solving for V₂:

P₁V₁ / RT₁ = P₂V₂ / RT₂

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / P₂T₁

Now, as we know that P2 is 5% decreased from P1, so P2 = 0.95P1:

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / 0.95P₁T₁

The values of temperature in K:

T1 = 21+273 = 294 K

T2 = -8 + 273 = 265 K

Finally, let's calculate the volume:

V₂ = 264*P₁*V₁ / 294*0.95*P₁   ----> P cancels out  

V₂ = 264V₁ / 294*0.95

V₁ = 0.945V₂

With this, we can day that Volume 2 decreases.

Now the percentage change would be using the following expression:

%V = (V₁ - V₂ / V₁) * 100

Replacing the data we have:

%V = V1 - 0.945V₁ / V₁

%V = 0.055V₁ / V₁ * 100

%V = 5.5%

HEEEEELP ASAPP IM AWARDING 30 points!!!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

\rm S^{2-}.

Explanation:

Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:

2 + (2 + 6) + (2 + 6) = 18.

Each electron has a charge of (-1).

Atoms are neutral and have 0 charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of (-1). Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become (-2).

The ion in this question has a charge of (-2). In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 18 electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 18 - 2 = 16 electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 16.

Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of 16 is sulphur with atomic symbol \rm S. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("2-" for a charge of (-2)) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:

\rm S^{2-}.
