Answer:

16.9g

Explanation:Cu+2AgNO3→2Ag+Cu(NO3)2

Cu will likely have a +2 oxidation state. It is higher in the activity series than Ag, so it is a stronger reducing agent and will reduce Ag in a displacement reaction. Then you need to balance the coefficients knowing than NO3 is -1 and Ag is +1.

Then to calculate the theoretical yield you need to compare moles of the reactants:

m(Cu)=5g

M(Cu)=63.55

n(Cu)=5/63.55=0.0787

By comparing coefficients you require twice as much silver: 0.157mol

n(Ag)=0.157

M(Ag)=107.86

m(Ag)=0.157x107.86=16.9g

Hence, the theoretical yield of this reaction would be 16.9g

10) How many grams are there in 1.00 x 10^24 molecules of BC13?

194.5 g of BCl₃ is present in 1 × 10²⁴ molecules of BCl₃.

Explanation:

In order to convert the given number of molecules of BCl₃ to grams, first we have to convert the molecules to moles.

It is known that 1 moles of any element has 6.022×10²³ molecules.

Then 1 molecule will have $\frac{1}{6.022*10^{23} }$ moles.

So $1*10^{24} molecules = \frac{1*10^{24} }{6.022*10^{23} } =1.66 moles$

Thus, 1.66 moles are included in BCl₃.

Then in order to convert it from moles to grams, we have to multiply it with the molecular mass of the compound.

As it is known as 1 mole contains molecular mass of the compound.

As the molecular mass of BCl₃ will be

$Molecular mass of BCl_{3}= Mass of Boron + (3*Mass of chlorine)$

Mass of boron is 10.811 g and the mass of chlorine is 35.453 g.

Molar mass of BCl₃ = 10.811+(3×35.453)=117.17 g.

$grams of BCl_{3}=Molar mass of BCl_{3}*Number of moles$

$grams of BCl_{3}=117.17*1.66=194.5 g$

So, 194.5 g of BCl₃ is present in 1 × 10²⁴ molecules of BCl₃.
