CuCl_2
There is 2 times more Cl than Cu.

So for 1 :
Cu : \frac{1}{3}
Cl : \frac{2}{3}

So percent composition :
Cl ⇒ 66%
Cu ⇒ 33%

CuCl2 is Dichloride Copper, or Copper II Chloride. 
In this Molecule, there is 1 atom of Copper for every 2 atoms of Chlorine.
If you go to the periodic table, you'll see that copper has a mass of 63.5 amu, and the chlorine 35.45 amu.
Which mean that the mass of CuCl2 is 63.5 + 35.45*2 = 63.5 + 70.9 = 134.4 g/mol.
Then, you find the ration of the mass of each atom and multiply by 100.
Ratio of Copper: \frac{63.5}{134.4} * 100 and you get about 47.2% 
Ration of chlorice (Cl2): \frac{70.9}{134.4} * 100 and you get about 52.8%.

So, the percent composition of CuCl2 is 47.2% of Copper and 52.8% of chlorine.

Hope this Helps :)

If you could drop 12 atoms of copper onto a beaker containing nitric acid, how many molecules of NO would be produced?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

B) 8.0 molecules.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced equation: <em>3Cu + 8HNO₃ → 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O,</em>

It is clear that 3.0 atoms of Cu react with 8.0 molecules of HNO₃ to produce 3.0 molecules of Cu(NO₃)₂, 2.0 molecules of NO, and 4.0 atoms of H₂O.

<u><em>Note that: </em></u>The no. of atoms and molecules is the same ratio to the no. of moles.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

3.0 atoms of Cu produce → 2.0 molecules of NO, from the balanced equation.

12.0 atoms of Cu produce → <em>??? molecules of NO.</em>

<em>∴ The no. of molecules of NO produced </em>= (2.0 molecules)(12.0 atoms)/(3.0 atoms) = <em>8.0 molecules.</em>

Fe2O3 + H2 --&gt; Fe + H2O
sveticcg [70]
A) 10.0g of Iron is \frac{10.0}{55.8}=179mmol of Iron.

One mole of dihydrogen is required to form one mole of iron, hence you'll need 0.179*1.00=0.179g of dihydrogen.

B) Likewise : 2.50g of Iron is \frac{2.50}{55.8}=44.8mmol of Iron, hence we'll need 44.8*(3*16+2*55.8)=7.15g of Fe2O3.

What mass of chlorine gas is contained in a 10.0 L tank at 31.0° C and 3.50 atm?
jeyben [28]
You need to use the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) and solve for n. ((3.50atm•10.0L)/(0.0821(L•atm/mol•K)•304K) = n = 1.40 moles. 1 mole of Cl2 = 70.9 gm/mole. The mass would be 99.43 gm
