From what I remember in high school, they said that since gold is more expensive and not that easy to find, we try to use something that is in the same category and copper is the closest to it and also not expensive and not hard to find.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

6 moles of oxygen, or 3O2.

Explanation:

I would build a proportion for this:

$\frac{2(2)}{2} = \frac{12}{x} \\ 4x = 24 \\ x = 6$

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Answer:

$\Delta t = 13\,h$

Explanation:

Half time is period required to desintegrating the half of the initial number of atoms. Then, the total time is:

$\Delta t = 5\cdot (2.6\,h)$

$\Delta t = 13\,h$

How many grams of zinc would be required to produce 9.65g of zinc hydroxide

Effectus [21]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

How many grams of zinc would be required to produce 9.65g of zinc hydroxide

Zn+2MnO₂+H₂O→Zn(OH)₂+Mn₂O₃

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of zinc required is 6.35 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of zinc hydroxide = 9.65 g

Molar mass of zinc hydroxide = 99.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc hydroxide}=\frac{9.65g}{99.4g/mol}=0.0971mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Zn+2MnO_2+H_2O\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mn_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc hydroxide is produced from 1 mole of zinc

So, 0.0971 moles of zinc hydroxide will be produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0971=0.0971mol$ of zinc

Now, calculating the mass of zinc from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Moles of zinc = 0.0971 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0971mol=\frac{\text{Mass of zinc}}{65.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of zinc}=(0.0971mol\times 65.4g/mol)=6.35g$

Hence, the mass of zinc required is 6.35 grams
