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:

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

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr

garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

$\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}$

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ } × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

What evidence supports a conservation law? 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO

docker41 [41]

The law of conservation has been stated that the mass and energy has neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element in the chemical reaction.

<h3>Conservation law</h3><h3 />

The given equation has been assessed as follows:

$\rm 6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6$

The reactant has absence of hydrogen, while hydrogen has been present in the product. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

$\rm 6\;O_2\;+\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6$

The number of atoms of each reactant has been different on the product and the reactant side. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

$\rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6$

The reactant has the presence of carbon, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

$\rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;3\;O_2$

The product has the presence of hydrogen, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

How many moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?

tino4ka555 [31]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 340.0 moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CO₂ + 4 H₄ → CH₄ + 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CO₂: 1 mole
H₄: 4 moles
CH₄: 1 mole
H₂O: 2 moles

<h3>Moles of CH₄ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of CO₂ form 4 moles of CH₄, 85.1 moles of CO₂ form how many moles of CH₄?

$moles of CH_{4} =\frac{85.1 moles of CO_{2}x4 moles of CH_{4} }{1 moles of CO_{2}}$

<u><em>moles of CH₄= 340.4 moles</em></u>

Then, 340.0 moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas
