Grains contain gold in forms that seem tailor-made for industrial use. Rumpelstiltskin, the fairy-tale rogue who spun straw into gold, has nothing on Miguel Yacaman and Jorge Gardea-Torresdey. The gold appears as particles mere billionths of a meter wide

Given the following reaction: \ce{Cu + 2AgNO3 -> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2}Cu+2AgNO3 ​ ​ 2Ag+Cu(NOX 3 ​ )X 2 ​ How many moles of \ce{Ag}
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

0.252 mol

Explanation:

<em>Given the following reaction: </em>

<em>Cu + 2 AgNO₃ → 2 Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂</em>

<em>How many moles of Ag will be produced from 16.0 g Cu, assuming AgNO3 ​ is available in excess.</em>

First, we write the balanced equation.

Cu + 2 AgNO₃ → 2 Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

We can establish the following relations.

  • The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol.
  • The molar ratio of Cu to Ag is 1:1.

The moles of Ag produced from 16.0 g of Cu are:

16.0gCu.\frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu} .\frac{1molAg}{1molCu} =0.252 molAg

Do any of the elements have similar properties? ​
Marysya12 [62]

Hello! Charchar here!

Answer:

I don't know what the elements are soo

The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (other than hydrogen) are known as Group 1A metals, or alkali metals. When you compare the chemical properties of these elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium), what you'll notice is that they are all remarkably similar.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!

A green powder was placed into a beaker of water. After it was stirred
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A solution was NOT formed.

Explanation:

For a solution to be formed, the green powder would need to dissolve in the water to form a homogenous mixture. But since the water was cloudy and had lumps of the green powder, it means that the powder did not dissolve, but instead remained insoluble.
