Each student in a class placed a 2.00 g sample of a mixture of Cu and Al in a beaker and placed the beaker in a fume hood. The s

tudents slowly poured 15.0 mL of 15.8 M HNO3 into their beakers. The reaction between the copper in the mixture and the HNO3 is represented by the equation above. The students observed that a brown gas was released from the beakers and that the solutions turned blue, indicating the formation of Cu 2. The solutions were then diluted with distilled water to known volumes. The students determined that the reaction produced 0.010 mol of Cu(NO3)2. Based on the measurement, what was the percent of Cu by mass in the original 2.00 g sample of the mixture

Answer:

Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction producing Cu(NO₃) is given below:

Cu(s)+ 4HNO₃(aq) ---> Cu(NO₃)(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Cu(NO₃) is produced from 1 mole of copper. Therefore, 0.010 moles of Cu(NO₃) will be produced from 0.010 mole of copper.

Molar mass of copper = 64 g/mol

mass of copper = number of moles * molar mass

mass of copper = 0.01 mol * 64 g/mol = 0.64 g

Percentage by mass of copper in the 2.00 g sample = (0.64/2.00) * 100%

Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%

How is the periodic table used to predict the properties of an element?
Novosadov [1.4K]
There are many ways to predict the properties of an element here's one example.As you move from left to right the electron affinity and ionization  energy both increase .Since elements of the same family have similar characteristic,you can often  predict the properties of another element in its family

when 824 J of heat is added to 9 grams of oil at 30°c , the temperature increases to 87°C. what is the specific heat of the oil
sattari [20]

Answer:

c = 1.61 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oil = 9 g

Heat added = 824 j

Initial temperature =  30°C

Final temperature = 87°C

Specific heat of oil = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = Final temperature - final temperature

ΔT = 87°C - 30°C

ΔT = 57 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

824 j = 9 g × c ×  57 °C

824 j = 513 g. °C × c

c = 1.61 j/g.°C
