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

3. If a sound is louder or a light is brighter, what does this mean about the amplitude of

hodyreva [135]

Answer: for 3. I would say it means that the amplitude is greater because if a sound is louder that means the amplitude is larger, same with the light.So that would mean the softer the sound the smaller the amplitude same with the dim of the light so for 4. It would be the amplitude is smaller. Hope this helps! :) ( if you have any questions feel free to ask)

Additional solute is added to a saturated solution of a solid and a liquid after being heated above room temperature. Once no mo

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the solution is heated, but before additional solute is added

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. Hence an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

When the solution is heated, the saturated cold solution becomes an unsaturated hot solution which is capable of dissolving more solute at this point.

Once more solute is dissolved, the solution becomes saturated again just before it begins to cool since no more solute dissolves in the solution at some point before cooling and addition of seed crystals.

mixas84 [53]

Answer :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

Mathematically,

$V\propto T$

Boiling water bath Cool bath 1 Cool bath 2

Temperature (⁰C) 99 17 2

Temperature (K)(T) 273+99=372 273+17=290 273+2=275

Volume of water 0.0 27.0 34.0

in cool flask (mL)

Volume of water= 135.8 135.8 135.8

Air in flask (mL)

Volume of air 135.8 108.8 101.8

in cool flask (V)

$\frac{V}{T}$ $\frac{135.8}{372}=0.365$ $\frac{108.8}{290}=0.375$ $\frac{101.8}{275}=0.370$

The graph volume versus temperature for a gas is shown below.

In acetyl CoA formation, the carbon-containing compound from glycolysis is oxidized to produce acetyl CoA. From the following co

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is important to recall that acetyl-CoA is produced either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate derived from glycolysis, which is carried out into the mitochondrial matrix, by cause of the oxidation of high-order fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of very specific amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the citric acid cycle where it is oxidized in the light of energy production.

In this manner, during such processes, there are some net inputs and outputs, therefore, they are sorted as show below, considering there some of them not classified neither as input nor output:

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Best regards.

A sample of an ionic compound containing iron and chlorine is analyzed and found to have a molar mass of 126.8 g/mol. what is th

julsineya [31]

Answer is: <span>the charge of the iron in this compound is +2.
Atomic mass of iron is 55,8 g/mol.
Atomic mass of chlorine is 35,5 g/mol.
If compound is FeCl, molar mass would be 55,8 </span>g/mol + 35,5 g/mol = 91,3 g/mo, that is not correct.
If compound is FeCl₂, malar mass of compound would be:
55,8 g/mol + 2·35,5 g/mol = 126,8 g/mol, that is correct.
Oxaidation number of chlorine is -1.
