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

Find the number of grams <br><br>4.00 moles of CU(CN)2

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

462g

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the molar mass of Cu(CN)2. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 63.5 + 2(12+14) = 63.5 + 2(26) = 63.5 + 52 = 115.5g/mol

Number of mole of Cu(CN)2 given from the question = 4moles

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 4 x 115.5

Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 462g

If 100.0g of nitrogen is reacted with 100.0g of hydrogen, what is the excess reactant? What is the limiting reactant? Show your

Drupady [299]

N₂ : limiting reactant

H₂ : excess reactant

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of N₂ = 100 g

mass of H₂ = 100 g

Required

Limiting reactant

Excess reactant

Solution

Reaction

mol N₂(MW=28 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}=\dfrac{100}{28}=3.571$

mol H₂(MW= 2 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{100}{2}=50$

A method that can be used to find limiting reactants is to divide the number of moles of known substances by their respective coefficients, and small or exhausted reactans become a limiting reactants

From the equation, mol ratio N₂ : H₂ = 1 : 3, so :

$\tt \dfrac{3.571}{1}\div \dfrac{50}{3}=3.571\div 16.6$

N₂ becomes a limiting reactant (smaller ratio) and H₂ is the excess reactant
