An atom is the smallest unit of matter that has the properties of an element. It is composed of a dense core called the nucleus and a series of outer shells occupied by orbiting electrons. The nucleus, composed of protons and neutrons, is at the center of an atom.

Answer:
1.6 grams
Explanation:
We need to prepare 100 mL (0.100 L) of a 0.10 M CuSO₄ solution. The required moles of CuSO₄ are:
0.100 L × 0.10 mol/L = 0.010 mol
The molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159.61 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.010 moles is:
0.010 mol × (159.61 g/mol) = 1.6 g
We should use 1.6 grams of CuSO₄.
Answer:
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?
Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)
first, balance the equation
2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO
two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule
there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms
but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms
the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
Answer:
1) positive
2) carbocation
3) most stable
4) faster
Explanation:
A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.
The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.
Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.
Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
