Answer:

0.316 moles are produced.

Explanation:

We state the redox reaction:

4HNO₃ + Cu → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

We need to determine the limting reactant:

0.1 L . 14 M = 1.4 moles

10 g . 1mol/ 63.54g =0.158 mol

Cu is the limiting reactant. Let's see

4 moles of acid need 1 mol of Cu to react

1.4 moles of acid may react to (4 . 1) / 1.4 = 0.35 moles

We do not have enough Cu.

1 mol of Cu can produce 1 mol of NO₂

Then 0.158 moles will produce, 0.316 moles. (double of moles)

If we see stoichiometry, ratio is 1:2

Phosphorus can be stable with 12 electrons in its valence structure while nitrogen can never have more than 8 electrons in its v

dolphi86 [110]

Here we have explain that the maximum possible electrons present in nitrogen valence shell is 8 whereas in phosphorous 12 valence electrons are present.

Although both nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) belongs to the same series there are several properties which are different between both the element. The number of electrons present in nitrogen is seven which are present in the -s and -p orbitals. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s²2s²2p³. In which the outermost electrons are the valence electrons i.e. 5 valence electrons are present. The maximum orbitals are possible under the principal quantum number 2 are -s and -p orbitals. Now the maximum capacity of the p orbital to contain 6 electrons, as it is half filled in nitrogen another 3 electrons can be incorporated. Thus the maximum number of electrons can be present in nitrogen is 10 among which 8 is the valence electrons.

On the other hand there are 15 electrons in phosphorous the electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³. Now the principal quantum number 3 can have three orbitals -s, -p and -d. So another 13 electrons can be incorporated (3 in -p orbital and 10 in -d orbital) among which upto 12 electrons can be its valence electrons.
