If you put a piece of zinc into a solution of copper (I) sulfate and allow the single replacement reaction to go to completion,

how will you know which of the reactants is the limiting reactant? Write the balanced equation, including the states of matter of the reactants and products, to help support your answer.

Explanation:

Reaction of zinc metal in copper sulfate solution.

\begin{array}{ll}\text { Oxidation : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-}\\\text {Reduction : } & \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(s) \\\hline \text { Full Reaction : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)\end{array}

Zinc is listed above copper on the activity series, this means that zinc is more easily oxidized than copper. That is why copper(II) ions can act as an oxidizing agent when put into contact with zinc metal. Ions of any metal that is below zinc, such as lead or silver, would oxidize the zinc in a similar reaction.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

P_H =2.86

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

C_3H_6O_3  ⇄ C_3H_5O_3^{-}  +H^{+}

assuming degree of dissociation \alpha =1/10;

and initial concentraion of C_3H_6O_3 =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha

[C_3H_5O_3^{-}  ]= c\alpha

[H^{+}] = c\alpha

K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}

\alpha is very small so 1-\alpha can be neglected

and equation is;

K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}

[H^{+}] = c\alpha = \frac{K_a}{\alpha}

P_H =- log[H^{+} ]

P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha

K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}

\alpha = \frac{1}{10}

P_H= 3.86-1

P_H =2.86

composiion ;

c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]

[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)

[H^{+} ] =0.0014

c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The relative conjugate acids and bases are listed below:

CH3NH2 → CH3NH3+

H2SO3→ HSO3-

NH3→ NH4+

Explanation:

In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, a conjugate acid is the species resulting from a base accepting a proton; likewise, a conjugate base is the species formed after an acid has donated a hydrogen atom (proton).

To this end:

  • HSO3- is the conjugate acid of H2SO3 i.e sulfuric acid has lost a proton (H+)
  • NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3 i.e the base ammonia has gained a proton (H+)
  • OH- is the conjugate base of H20
  • CH3NH3+ is the conjugate base of the base CH3NH2 methylamine
