A mixture of Cu2 and CuO of mass 8.828g is reduced to copper metal with hydrogen:
Cu2O + H2 --> 2Cu + H2O
CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O

If the mass of pure copper isolated was 7.214g, determine the percent by mass of CuO in the original sample

Let x = grams of CuO in the original sample.
y = grams of Cu2O in the original sample.

Eq. #1 x + y = 8.828 grams

Molar mass of CuO = 63.5 + 16 = 79.5 grams
Moles of CuO = x ÷ 79.5

Molar mass of Cu2O = 63.546 + 32 = 95.5 grams
Moles of Cu2O = y ÷ 95.5

According to the 2nd balanced equation, CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O ,
1 mole of CuO produces 1 mole of Cu.
So, x ÷ 79.5 moles of CuO will produce x ÷ 79.5 moles of Cu


According to the 1st balanced equation, Cu2O + H2 --> 2Cu + H2O,
1 mole of Cu2O produces 2 moles of Cu
So, (y ÷ 95.5) moles of Cu2O will produce 2 * (y ÷ 95.5) moles of Cu

Since, the mass of pure copper isolated was 7.214 grams
Moles of Cu = (7.214 ÷ 63.5)

Moles of Cu from Cu2O + moles of Cu from CuO = total moles of Cu!!

2 * (y ÷ 95.5) + (x ÷ 79.5) = (7.214 ÷ 63.5)
Multiply by both sides by 95.5 * 79.5 * 63.5 to get rid of denominators

(2 * 79.5 * 63.5) y + (95.5 * 63.5) x = (7.214 * 95.5 * 79.5)

10,096.5 y + 6,064.25 x = 36,418.0755
Divide both sides by 6,064.25
x + 1.665 y = 6

Eq.#2 x = 6 – 1.665 y
Eq. #1 x + y = 8.828
x = 8.828 – y

8.828 – y = 6 – 1.665 y
0.665 y = 2.828
y = 4.25 grams of Cu2O
x = 8.828 – 4.25 = 4.58 grams of CuO

% CuO = (4.58 ÷ 8.828) * 100 = 51.88% CuO

A tank contains a mixture of helium, neon, and argon gases. If the total pressure in the tank is 490. mmHg and the partial press
OleMash [197]

Answer: The partial pressure of neon is 173 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_A+p_B+p_C

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = 490 mm Hg

p_{He} = partial pressure of Helium = 215 mmHg

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon = 102 mm Hg

p_{Ne} = partial pressure of neon= ?

p_{total}=p_{He}+p_{Ar}+p_{Ne}

490=215+102+p_{Ne}

p_{Ne}=173mmHg

Thus partial pressure of neon is 173 mmHg

How do cells get ATP, the energy currency that does work in living things?
luda_lava [24]
How do cells get ATP through Cellular Respiration.
Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The Mitochondria use oxygen (O2) to convert broken-down glucose (at type of sugar) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
The reactants of CR are oxygen and glucose.
The products of CR are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
