Answer:

Explanation:

The stereochemical structures of the two compounds of the fumarase-catalyzed reaction are in the attachment below. The reaction been referred to is illustrated in the equation below

HOOCCH=CHCOOH + H₂O ==> HOOCCH₂CH(OH)COOH

The compounds attached are trans-2-butenedioate (which is one of the reactants) and (s)-2-hydroxysuccinate (which is the product formed)

Note that stereoisomers are isomers that differ in spatial orientation, thus there are other isomers that could contain the same atoms and have slightly but different spatial orientation such as cis-2-butenedioate and (r)-2-hydroxysuccinate

One quarter of a 1-mole piece of iron turns to rust in six months. Which rate describes the speed at which the iron rusts?

avanturin [10]

1/4 mol = 0.25 mol

6 months = 0.5 year

rate = 0,25 mol / 0.5 year = 0.5 mol/year or approx 0.042 mol/month

How many grams are in 4.5 x 10^22 molecules of Ba(NO2)2

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

17 g Ba(NO₂)₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

Stoichiometry
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

4.5 × 10²² molecules Ba(NO₂)₂

Step 2: Define conversion

Molar Mass of Ba - 137.33 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Ba(NO₂)₂ - 137.33 + 2(14.01) + 4(16.00) = 229.35 g/mol

Step 3: Dimensional Analysis

$4.5 \cdot 10^{22} \ mc \ Ba(NO_2)_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ba(NO_2)_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ mc \ Ba(NO_2)_2} )(\frac{229.35 \ g \ Ba(NO_2)_2}{1 \ mol \ Ba(NO_2)_2} )$

= 17.1384 g Ba(NO₂)₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.

17.1384 g Ba(NO₂)₂ ≈ 17 g Ba(NO₂)₂

Cu(s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) --> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The percent by mass of copper in the mixture was 32%

Explanation:

The ammount of HNO₃ used is:

mol HNO₃ = volume * concentration

mol HNO₃ = 0.015 l * 15.8 mol/l

mol HNO₃ = 0.237 mol

According to the reaction, 4 mol HNO₃ will react with 1 mol Cu and produce 1 mol Cu²⁺. Since we have 0.237 mol HNO₃, the amount of Cu that could react would be (0.237 mol HNO₃ * 1 mol Cu / 4 mol HNO₃) 0.06 mol. This reaction would produce 0.060 mol Cu²⁺, however, only 0.010 mol Cu²⁺ were obtained, indicating that only 0.010 mol Cu were present in the mixture. This means that the acid was in excess, so we can assume that all copper present in the mixture has reacted.

Since 0.010 mol of Cu²⁺ were produced, the amount of Cu was 0.01 mol.

1 mol of Cu has a mass of 63.5 g, then 0.01 mol has a mass of:

0.01 mol Cu * 63.5 g / 1 mol = 0.635 g.

Since this amount was present in 2.00 g mixture, the amount of copper in 100 g of the mixture will be:

100 g(mixture) * 0.635 g Cu / 2 g(mixture) = 32 g

Then, the percent by mass of Cu (which is the mass of Cu in 100 g mixture) is 32%

Imagine that you're doing an experiment that requires you to smell the odor of a chemical solution in a beaker. Which procedure

mixas84 [53]

The correct answer really is B.

If you are directed to break that rule then you better be in a high level chemistry class. When I taught things like that I insisted that students just wait until the chemical permeated the fume cabinet and even then I was always very nervous.

Sometimes you have to know when to ignore a bad direction. If you are working with chlorine, for example, you should be especially careful. That stuff was used in WWI as part of a chemical warfare technique. Many men suffered grotesque deaths by breathing it in, particularly if they were in trenches. Chlorine is heavier than air. It sinks to the lowest level.
