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

GarryVolchara [31]

In light reactions there is successful photosynthesis due to the fact one of the primary reactants for photosynthesis in the first place. At the end of the light reaction, there will be the normal photosynthesis products formed which are glucose and oxygen. For the dark reaction no products will be formed

Is oxidation an example of an extensive property or an intensive property? Explain.
Korolek [52]
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the mass of gold. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the density of gold. Heat is an example of an extensive property, and temperature is an example of an intensive property.

dsp73
The delta H of -484 kJ is the heat given off when 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to make 2 moles of H2O. You don't have anywhere near that much reactants, only 1/4 as much

<span>actual delta H = 0.34  moles H2 x (-484 kJ / 2 moles H2) = 823 kJ </span>

<span>delta E = delta H - PdeltaV = 823 kJ - 0.41 kJ = 822 kJ</span>
