Gwar [14]

6 L of  oxygen (O₂)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

Now we calculate the number of moles of magnesium:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of Mg = 12 / 24 = 0.5 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if          2 moles of Mg react with 1 mole of O₂

then    0.5 moles of Mg react with X moles of O₂

X = (0.5 × 1) / 2 = 0.25 mole of O₂

mass =  number of moles × molar weight

mass of O₂ =  0.25 × 32 = 8 g

Knowing the information given by the problem that 32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space, we devise the following reasoning:

if          32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space

then   8 g of O₂ takes up Y liters of space

Y = (8 × 24) / 32 = 6 L of O₂

Consider the following balanced equation:
kow [346]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of Cu(s) in moles is 60.15 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles CuO = 70.8 moles

Number of moles NH3 = 40.1 moles

Molar mass CuO = 79.545 g/mol

Molar mass NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3CuO(s) + 2NH3(g) → 3H2O(l) + 3Cu(s) + N2(g)

For 3 moles CuO we need 2 moles NH3 to produce 3 moles H2O, 3 moles Cu and 1 mol N2

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (40.1 moles). CuO is in excess. There will react 3/2 * 40.1 = 60.15 moles

There will remain 70.8 - 60.15 = 10.65 moles CuO

Step 3: Calculate moles Cu

For 3 moles CuO we need 2 moles NH3 to produce 3 moles H2O, 3 moles Cu and 1 mol N2

For 40.1 moles NH3 we'll have 60.15 moles Cu

The theoretical yield of Cu(s) in moles is 60.15 moles
