Answer:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the chemical reaction between copper and nitric acid is:

$2HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+H_2$

By starting with 0.80 g of copper metal (molar mass = 63.54 g/mol) and considering the 1:1 mole ratio between copper and copper (II) nitrate (molar mass = 187.56 g/mol) we can compute that mass via stoichiometry as shown below:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=0.80gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.54gCu} *\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu} *\frac{187.56gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2$

However, the real reaction between copper and nitric acid releases nitrogen oxide, yet it does not modify the calculations since the 1:1 mole ratio is still there:

$4HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2H_2O+2NO_2$

Best regards!

For the reaction 2N2O5(g) <---> 4NO2(g) + O2(g), the following data were colected:

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a) The reaction is first order, that is, order 1. Option C is correct.

b) The half life of the reaction is 23 minutes. Option B is correct

c) The initial rate of production of NO2 for this reaction is approximately = (3.7 × 10⁻⁴) M/min. Option has been cut off.

Explanation:

First of, we try to obtain the order of the reaction from the data provided.

t (minutes) [N2O5] (mol/L)

0 1.24x10-2

10 0.92x10-2

20 0.68x10-2

30 0.50x10-2

40 0.37x10-2

50 0.28x10-2

70 0.15x10-2

Using a trial and error mode, we try to obtain the order of the reaction. But let's define some terms.

C₀ = Initial concentration of the reactant

C = concentration of the reactant at any time.

k = rate constant

t = time since the reaction started

T(1/2) = half life

We Start from the first guess of zero order.

For a zero order reaction, the general equation is

C₀ - C = kt

k = (C₀ - C)/t

If the reaction is indeed a zero order reaction, the value of k we will obtain will be the same all through the set of data provided.

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0092)/10 = 0.00032 M/min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0068)/20 = 0.00028 M/min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.005)/30 = 0.00024 M/min

It's evident the value of k isn't the same for the first 3 trials, hence, the reaction isn't a zero order reaction.

We try first order next, for first order reaction

In (C₀/C) = kt

k = [In (C₀/C)]/t

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = [In (0.0124/0.0092)]/10 = 0.0298 /min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = 0.030 /min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = 0.0303

At t = 40 minutes

k = 0.0302 /min

At t = 50 minutes,

k = 0.0298 /min

At t = 60 minutes,

k = 0.031 /min

This shows that the reaction is indeed first order because all the answers obtained hover around the same value.

The rate constant to be taken will be the average of them all.

Average k = 0.0302 /min.

b) The half life of a first order reaction is related to the rate constant through this relation

T(1/2) = (In 2)/k

T(1/2) = (In 2)/0.0302

T(1/2) = 22.95 minutes = 23 minutes.

c) The initial rate of production of the product at the start of the reaction

Rate = kC (first order)

At the start of the reaction C = C₀ = 0.0124M and k = 0.0302 /min

Rate = 0.0302 × 0.0124 = 0.000374 M/min = (3.74 × 10⁻⁴) M/min

kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

$pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume}$ (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sn^2+ reacts with KMNO4 as follows;

5Sn^2+(aq) + 2MnO4^-(aq) + 16H^+(aq) ----> 5Sn^4+(aq) + 2Mn^+(aq) + 8H2O(l)

The number of moles of MnO4^- reacted = 42.1/1000 L × 0.145 mol/L

= 0.0061 moles

If 5 moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 2 moles of MnO4^-

x moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 0.0061 moles of MnO4^-

x= 5 × 0.0061/2

x= 0.015 moles

Since the volume of the Sn^2+ solution is 15.00mL or 0.015 L

number of moles = concentration × volume

Concentration = number of moles/volume

Concentration= 0.015 moles/0.015 L

Concentration = 1 M
