Answer:

Quantity of Carbon is 4.09 gm

Explanation:

Equation of carbon reacting with oxygen to give carbon dioxide is given by

C + O_{2} ⇒ CO_{2}

One mole of carbon reacts with one mole of Oxygen in this reaction to give One mole of Carbon dioxide.

So, 12 gm of carbon reacts with 32 gm of Oxygen in this reaction to give 44 gm of carbon dioxide.

15 gm of CO_{2} was formed in this reaction

Oxygen used in this reaction = \frac{15}{44}×32 = 10.91 gm ,

Thus Oxygen is in sufficient quantity in the reaction.

Now,

Carbon that must be used = \frac{15}{44}×12  = 4.09 gm.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is  2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2

Let us express it as

SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1

Let us express it as

SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}

The required ratio is 2:1

Be sure to answer all parts. The sulfate ion can be represented with four S―O bonds or with two S―O and two S═O bonds. (a) Which
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a) Representation - (in attachment)

b) Tetrahedral geometry and

c) sp^{3} hybrid orbitals invovle sigma bonding.

\pi orbitals are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

Explanation:

a)

Representation in attachment.

The overall charge in the both structures are -2. The structure (b) is favored by the resonance structures since the formal charge with in the species are remained.

Therefore, structure (b) is the better representation of sulfate ion.

b)

In sulfate ion, sulfur atom is attached with four different oxygen atoms. According to the VSEPR theory , the sufate ion has tetrahedral geometry.

There is four sigma bonds and zero lone pairs present on the central metal atom.

Hence, the hybridization of the sulfur atom is sp^{3}

c)

The s and p orbitals of sulfur invovles hybridization and form sigma bonds.The orbitals of sulfur involves \pi bonding.

Therefore, \pi bonds are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with  p-orbitals of oxygen.

You already converted mass to moles for the reactants now convert mass to moles for the product, copper 0.71 g Cu equals
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: 0.011 moles.

Explanation:-

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Given :

Mass of copper = 0.71 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

Putting i the values, we get:

\text{Number of moles of copper}=\frac{0.71g}{63.5g/mol}=0.011moles

Thus the number of moles of copper in 0.71 g of copper is 0.011 moles.
