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!

All the substances listed below are fertilizers that contribute nitrogen to the soil.

Answer:

Ammonia is the richest source of nitrogen on a mass percentage basis because it has 82.35% of nitrogen by mass.

Explanation:

Percentage of element in compound :

$=\frac{\text{number of atoms}\times text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100$

(a) Urea, $(NH_2)_2CO$

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 2

$N\%=\frac{2\times 14 g/mol}{60 g/mol}\times 100=46.67\%$

(b) Ammonium nitrate, $NH_4NO_3$

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 2

$N\%=\frac{2\times 14 g/mol}{80 g/mol}\times 100=35.00\%$

(c) Nitric oxide, NO

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

$N\%=\frac{1\times 14 g/mol}{30 g/mol}\times 100=46.67\%$

(d) Ammonia, $NH_3$

Molar mass of ammona = 17 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

$N\%=\frac{1\times 14 g/mol}{17 g/mol}\times 100=82.35\%$

Ammonia is the richest source of nitrogen on a mass percentage basis because it has 82.35% of nitrogen by mass.

What is the pressure of a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases if the pressures of these gases are as follows: P

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

his is an example of a first-year chemistry question where you must first convert two of the pressures to the units of the third and add them up, per Dalton’s law of additive pressures. There are three possible answers, one for each of the three pressure units.

1 atm = 760 torr …… torr and mm Hg are the same

1 atm = 101.3 kPa

Dalton’s law:

P(total) = P(O2) + P(N2) + P(CO2)

Explanation:

Gases will assume whatever pressure depending on the equation of state of the mixture (in this case) and the volume htey are contained in. That could be the ideal gas law and simple mixing law, If you are quoting the partial pressures which you call simply “the pressure” of each gas, and that these refer to their values in the present mixture, then yes, we would add them up. The pressures are low enough for the ideal gas law to apply provided the temperature is not extremely low as well .

2zns(s)+3o2(g)—>2zno(s)+2so2(g)

Paha777 [63]

This is an example of displacement reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.

AB + C -----> AC +B

2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2

This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.

In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
