Answer: 0.07868 mol H₂O
Explanation:
1) Chemical equation:
Cu₂O +H₂ → 2Cu + H₂O
2) mole ratios:
1 mol Cu₂O : 1 mol H₂ : 2 mol Cu : 1 mol H₂O
3) Convert 10.00 g of Cu to grams, using the atomic mass:
Atomic mass of Cu: 63.546 g/mol
number of moles = mass in grams / atomic mass = 10.00g / 63.546 g/mol
number of moles = 0.1574 mol
4) Use proportions
2mol Cu 0.1574 mol Cu
--------------- = ---------------------
1 mol H₂O x
⇒ x = 0.1574 mol Cu × 1 mol H₂O / 2mol Cu = 0.07868 mol H₂O
That is the answer
As solid is a hard surface and it can be changed to any shape although it is placed to any container whereas liquid can be poured from one container to another and gases have less bulk so they are not exaggerated by gravity
