Answer:

185.49 grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate

Explanation:

Yo know the following balanced reaction:

CuSO₄(aq)+ Zn(s) →Cu(s) + ZnSO₄(aq)

You can see that by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reagents and products are part of the reaction:

  • CuSO₄: 1 mole
  • Zn: 1 mole
  • Cu: 1 mole
  • ZnSO₄: 1 mole

Being:

  • Cu: 63.54 g/mole
  • S: 32 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole
  • Zn: 65.37 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

  • CuSO₄:63.54 g/mole + 32 g/mole + 4*16 g/mole= 159.54 g/mole ≅ 160 g/mole
  • Zn: 65.37 g/mole
  • Cu: 63.54 g/mole
  • ZnSO₄: 65.37 g/mole + 32 g/mole + 4*16 g/mole= 161.37 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of mass of reagent and product participate in the reaction:

  • CuSO₄: 1 moles* 160 g/mole= 160 g
  • Zn: 1 mole* 65.37 g/mole= 65.37 g
  • Cu: 1 mole* 63.54 g/mole= 63.54 g
  • ZnSO₄: 1 mole* 161.37 g/mole= 161.37 g

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if 160 grams of CuSO₄ react with 65.37 grams of Zn by this reaction stoichiometry, 454 grams of CuSO₄ with how much mass of Zn will it react?

mass of Zn=\frac{454 grams of CuSO_{4} *65.37 grams of Zn}{160 grams of CuSO_{4}}

mass of Zn= 185.49 grams

Idenify each statement below as either oxidation or reduction.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1 = oxidation

2 = reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

2I- ----> I₂+ 2e⁻

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

F + e⁻ ----> F⁻

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

The graphic shows nutrient loss in millions of metric tons per year in the United States.
tia_tia [17]

Annually 126.0 million metric tons of soil nutrients are lost.                            

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • By the given data we can identify the loss of soil nutrients in the United States. In the first year, a total of 1.0 million soil nutrients are lost.
  • After that in the second year, the loss has doubled. 10.0 million metric tons of soil nutrients are lost.
  • In the third year, 16.0 million soil nutrients are lost in the US.
  • In the final year, 90.0 million soil nutrients are lost. It is a very huge loss. By calculating all the above , a total 126.0 million of soil nutrients in the US are lost annually.

A change in pressure would have the greatest effect on the solubility of a
Bumek [7]
The pressure has almost no effect on the solubilities of solids and liquids. If a solid is insoluble in a liquid we cannot increase its solubility in that liquid by applying pressure. Similarly if two liquids are immiscible, we cannot dissolve them in each other by applying pressure. If two liquids are miscible, even if you don't apply any pressure they mix in every proportion. 
<span>However, the solubilities of gases in liquids are directly proportional to the pressure applied to the gases. Remember the fizzy drinks in which CO2 gas is dissolved under very high pressure. As far as the bottle is opened, pressure decreases and most of the dissolved gas try to escape from the liquid. </span>
