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!

Look at the following enthalpy diagram. Select all that apply.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Option 2 and 4 are correct

Explanation:

The reactants in the attached image have more enthalpy and hence less stability as they are more reactive. Thus, Product is more stable than the reactants.

This is an addition reaction in which two reactants add up to form the product.

Very less activation energy is required as the reactants themselves are unstable, possess high energy and hence are very reactive.

Reactants have more energy than the products.

At exactly 2:00 PM, speedy the hermit crab crawl onto a meter stick starting at the 10 cm mark. If he reaches the 60 cm mark at

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

speed=5cm/minute

Explanation:

Given at 2:00PM the hermit is at 10cm mark

Also given that the hermit reaches 60cm mark at 2:10PM

Therefore the time elapsed is 10 minutes = $10\times 60=600 seconds$

the distance travelled by the hermit is 60-10=50cm=0.5m

We know that

$speed=\frac{distane}{time}$

$speed=\frac{0.5}{600}$

speed = $8.3\times 10^{-4}$ m/sec=5cm/minute

A 20 g granite boulder absorbs 300.2 Joules of energy from the Sun, resulting in its temperature

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

19 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Mass of granite (m): 20 g

Heat absorbed (Q): 300. 2 J

Specific heat capacity of granite (c): 0.790 J/g.°C

Step 2: Calculate the temperature change (ΔT)

We will use the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

ΔT = Q/c × m

ΔT = 300.2 J/(0.790 J/g.°C) × 20 g = 19 °C
