Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As Brønsted-Lowry theory states, acids are the ones that can donate protons.

When a proton is donated, it is released to become medium more acidic.

HCl is a strong acid.

HCl (l) + H₂O (l) → H₃O⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

These always reffers to strong acid where the dissociation is 100% completed.

In a weak acid, dissociation is not 100% complete, that's why we have an equilibrium.

HA (l) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + A⁻(aq) Ka

Copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper (II) sulfate in a single-replacement reaction. How many moles of copper can be

serg [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

3 CuSO₄ + 2 Al ⇒ 3 Cu + Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

160 g of CuSO₄ ----------------- 1 mol

156 g ----------------- x

x = (156 x 1) / 160

x = 0.975 moles

27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

29 g of Al -------------------------- x

x = (29 x 1)/27

x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical 3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental 0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.

3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

0.975 moles of CuSO₄ --------------- x

x = (0.975 x 3)/3

x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.

What is the scaling factor if the molar mass of

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The scaling factor is 5.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the scaling factor is defined as the ratio of the molar mass of the molecular formula (complete) to the empirical formula (simplified), it is possible to compute it for the empirical formula of CH2O whose molar mass is 30 g/mol (12+2+16) as shown below:

$sf=150/30=5$

Therefore, we can also infer that the molecular formula would be:

$C_5H_1_0O_5$

Best regards!

Metallic bonding occurs between atoms of

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Metallic bonding occurs when you have a metal in the solid or liquid state. The s and p valence electrons of metals are loosely held. They leave their “own” metal atoms. This forms a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the metal cations.
