A thermochemical reaction is a chemical reaction with an additional information of the heat of reaction. For example, this is the thermochemical reaction for the combustion of hydrogen gas:
H₂ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (l) ΔH = -285.8 kJ
The coefficient 1/2 represents the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of H₂ gas in order to yield one mole of water.
Answer:
Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction producing Cu(NO₃) is given below:
Cu(s)+ 4HNO₃(aq) ---> Cu(NO₃)(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Cu(NO₃) is produced from 1 mole of copper. Therefore, 0.010 moles of Cu(NO₃) will be produced from 0.010 mole of copper.
Molar mass of copper = 64 g/mol
mass of copper = number of moles * molar mass
mass of copper = 0.01 mol * 64 g/mol = 0.64 g
Percentage by mass of copper in the 2.00 g sample = (0.64/2.00) * 100%
Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%
Is this a true or false question? If so, then this would be a true statement. Synthetic materials are made in factories, and the usage of factories increases the risks of harmful gases and chemicals that negatively impacts Earth.
