If 5.0 g of copper metal reacts with a solution of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal are recovered?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sukhopar [10]3 years ago
3 0

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

How does changing temperature affect the solubility of gases in liquids?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature. Conversely, adding heat to the solution provides thermal energy that overcomes the attractive forces between the gas and the solvent molecules, thereby decreasing the solubility of the gas; pushes the reaction in Equation 4 to the left

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

( Endocytosis / Exocytosis ) is the movement of substances out of a cell by vesicular transport.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Exocytosis

Explanation:

Some molecules are simply too big to move via a transport protein or the plasma membrane. To carry these macromolecules in or out of the cell, cells employ two more active transport pathways. Macromolecules or big particles are transported across the plasma membrane via Vesicles transport or other cytoplasmic structures. They are of two types, Endocytosis and Exocytosis

From the given information, Exocytosis is the right answer.

It is the process of vesicles combining with the plasma membrane thereby releasing their contents to the exterior of the cell. When a cell creates components for export, such as proteins, or when it gets rid of a waste product or a toxin, exocytosis occurs. Exocytosis is the process by which newly generated membrane proteins and membrane lipids are transported on top of the plasma membrane.
