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

Which would be expected to have the higher boiling point, t-butyl alcohol (2-methyl-2-propanol) or n-butyl alcohol (1-butanol)?
Readme [11.4K]
I would imagine that n-butanol would have the higher boiling point because it has less branching and therefore stronger intermolecular forces between molecules.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction:Mg + 2HCl → H2 + MgCl2?
krok68 [10]
The law of conservation of mass applies to every reaction. In this case, you start with 1 Mg, 2 H, and 2CL and end up with the same five only their bonds have been rearranged, or in other words, they are joined up differently.
