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

An object has a gravitational potential energy that is 800 Joules. Its

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

36.28 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Gravitational potential energy of object = 800 J

Height from ground = 2.245 m

Mass of object = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P.E = mgh

g =acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

by putting values,

800 J = m× 9.8 m/s² ×2.25 m

J = kgm²/s²

800 kgm²/s² = m× 22.05 m²/s²

m = 800 kgm²/s² /22.05 m²/s²

m = 36.28 kg

a solution of unknown molecular substance is prepared by dissolving 0.50g of the unknown in 8.0g of benzene. the solution freeze

spayn [35]

Answer:

THE MOLAR MASS OF THE UNKNOWN MOLECULAR SUBSTANCE IS 200 G/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown substance = 0.50 g

Freezing point of the solution = 3.9 °C

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

Freezing point dissociation constant Kf = 5.12°C/m

First, calculate the temperature difference between the freezing point of pure benzene and the final solution freezing point.

Change in temperature = 5.5 -3.9 = 1.6 °C

Next is to calculate the number of moles or molarity of the compound that dissolved.

Using the formula:

Δt = i Kf m

Assume i = 1

So,

1.6 °C = 1 * 5.12 * x/ 0.005 kg of benzene

x = 1.6 * 0.008 / 5.12

x = 0.0128 / 5.12

x = 0.0025 moles.

Next is to calculate the molar mass using the formula, molarity = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = mass / molarity

Molar mass = 0.50 g /0.0025

Molar mass = 200 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol

How many sigma bonds in a single bond

Katarina [22]

Answer:

single bond= 1 sigma bond

so basically 1

Explanation:

Usually, all bonds between atoms in most organic compounds contain one sigma bond each. If it is a single bond, it contains only sigma bond. Multiple bonds (double and triple), however, contains sigma and pi bonds. Double bonds have one each, and triple bonds have one sigma bond and two pi bonds

Select the correct answer. Given: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 If the chemical reaction produces 129 grams of AlCl3, how many grams

ivann1987 [24]

The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.

M_r: 133.34 2.016

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Moles of AlCl₃ = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃

Moles of H₂ = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂

Mass of H₂ = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂
