Answer:

20.11% of oxygen

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2CuO ⇒ 2Cu + O2

If you have an initial amoung of a sample, thi may be have impurities, so you have to start from products to know what you had at the begining.

to make a relation between reagents and products you need to change the mass to mol, then you can relate them with the molar ratio.

1,098gCu x \frac{1mol Cu}{63.546g Cu} x \frac{2mol CuO}{2molCu} x \frac{1mol O}{1molCuO} x \frac{16gO}{1molO} = 0,276gO

Now you have the initial amount of oxygen, to convert to percent you must divide the mass of oxygen between the mass of the sample and multiply by 100

percent composition of O = \frac{0.276gO}{1.375g sample} *100 = 20.11

Solve the following problems on ideal gas equation. Practice makes perfect.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.012mol

Explanation:

1.

Given parameters:

Pressure in the balloon  = 1.25atm

Volume of the balloon  = 2.5L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

We are going to used the combined gas law to solve this problem.

  PV = nRT

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant  = 0.082atmdm³mol⁻¹K⁻¹

 Insert the parameters and solve;

    1.25 x 2.5  = n x 0.082 x 285

       n  = 0.13mol

The number of moles is 0.13mol

2.

Given parameters:

Pressure  = 16torr;

   to atm is ;

                 760torr  = 1atm

                  16torr = \frac{16}{760}   = 0.02atm

Volume = 12L

Temperature  = 253K

Using the ideal gas law;

        PV  = nRT

       0.02x12  = n x 0.082 x 253

            n = 0.012mol
