Answer:
5.2g copper (Cu) => 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)
Explanation:
mole conversions:
grams to moles => divide by formula wt.
moles to grams => multiply by formula wt.
gas volumes to moles => divide volume by 22.4Liters/mole (STP conditions only)
This problem:
mass to moles => divide by formula wt.
mass = 5.2g = 5.2g/63.5g/mole = 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Substitute the value use ratio and proportion. Use calculator.
V1 = (V2 x T1) / T2
1 is initial, 2 is final
Answer:
"Hydrogen is still available outside the core, so hydrogen fusion continues in a shell surrounding the core. The increasingly hot core also pushes the outer layers of the star outward, causing them to expand and cool, transforming the star into a red giant."
