Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the wire is a conductor and the cover is an insulator.</u>

The wire inside an electrical cord is made up of metals and metals are generally considered to be good conductors of heat and electricity. The cover which is made of plastic or rubber, however, are known to be poor conductor of electricity. <em>Hence, the wire are considered to be conductors of electricity while the rubber covers act as insulators to protect users from getting electrocuted. </em>

The correct option is A.

What is 2 H2 + 1 O2 = 2 H2O balanced?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Yes, that is correctly balanced. 2 H2 + 1 O2 = 2 H2O is already balanced.

Explanation:

If you count up the number of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms on each side, you will see that they are equal:

2 H2 + 1 O2 (4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen) = 2 H2O (4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen).

For each of the following unbalanced chemical equations suppose that exactly 50.0 g of each reactant is taken. Determine which r
Helen [10]

Answer:

1) Br2 is the limiting reactant.

Mass NaBr produced = 64.4 grams

2) CuSO4 is the limiting reactant

Mass Cu = 19.89 grams

Mass ZnSO4 = 50.54 grams

3) NH4Cl is the limiting reactant

Mass NaCl = 54.6 grams

Mass NH3 =15.9 grams

Mass H2O =16.8 grams

4) Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant

Mass Fe = 35.0 grams

Mass CO2 = 41.3 grams

Explanation:

1) Na+br2 ------------->Nabr

Step 1: Data given

Mass Na = 50.0 grams

Mass Br2 = 50.0 grams

Molar mass Na = 22.99 g/mol

Molar mass Br2 = 159.81 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Na + Br2 → 2NaBr

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Na = 50.0 grams / 22.99 g/mol = 2.17 moles

Moles Br2 = 50.0 grams / 159.81 g/mol = 0.313 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

Br2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.313 moles).

Na is in excess. There will react 2*0.313 = 0.626 moles

There will remain 2.17 - 0.626 = 1.544 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles NaBr

For 1 mol Br2 we'll have 2 moles NaBr

For 0.313 moles we'll have 0.626 moles NaBr

Step 6: Calculate mass NaBr

Mass NaBr = 0.626 moles * 102.89 g/mol

Mass NaBr = 64.4 grams

2) Zn+cuso4 -------------->Znso4+Cu

Step 1: Data given

Mass Zn = 50.0 grams

Mass CuSO4 = 50.0 grams

Molar mass Zn = 65.38 g/mol

Molar mass CuSO4 = 159.61 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Zn + CuSO4 → Cu + ZnSO4

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Zn = 50.0 grams / 65.38 g/mol = 0.765 moles

Moles CuSO4 = 50.0 grams / 159.61 g/mol = 0.313 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

CuSO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.313 moles).

Zn is in excess. There will react 0.313 moles

There will remain 0.765 - 0.313 = 0.452 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles products

For 1 mol Zn we need 1 mol CuSO4 to produce 1 mol Cu and 1 mol ZnSO4

For 0.313 moles CuSO4 we'll have 0.313 moles Cu and 0.313 moles ZnSO4

Step 6: Calculate mass products

Mass Cu = 0.313 moles * 63.546 g/mol = 19.89 grams

Mass ZnSO4 = 0.313 moles * 161.47 g/mol  = 50.54 grams

3) NH4cl+NaOH -------------->NH3+H2O+NaCl

Step 1: Data given

Mass NH4Cl = 50.0 grams

Mass NaOH = 50.0 grams

Molar mass NH4Cl = 53.49 g/mol

Molar mass NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

NH4Cl + NaOH → NaCl + NH3 + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles NH4Cl = 50.0 grams / 53.49 g/mol = 0.935 moles

Moles NaOH = 50.0 grams / 40.0 g/mol = 1.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

NH4Cl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.935 moles).

NaOH is in excess. There will react 0.935 moles

There will remain 1.25 - 0.935 = 0.315 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles products

For 1 mol NH4Cl we need 1 mol NaOH to produce 1 mol NaCl, 1 mol NH3 and 1 mol H2O

For 0.935 moles NH4Cl we'll have 0.935 moles NaCl, 0.935 moles NH3 and 0.935 moles H2O

Step 6: Calculate mass products

Mass NaCl = 0.935 moles * 58.44 g/mol = 54.6 grams

Mass NH3 = 0.935 moles * 17.03 g/mol  = 15.9 grams

Mass H2O = 0.935 moles * 18.02 g/mol = 16.8 grams

4) Fe2O3+CO ------------>Fe+CO2

Step 1: Data given

Mass Fe2O3 = 50.0 grams

Mass CO = 50.0 grams

Molar mass Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol

Molar mass CO = 28.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Fe2O3 = 50.0 grams / 159.69 g/mol = 0.313 moles

Moles CO = 50.0 grams / 28.01 g/mol = 1.785 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.313 moles).

CO is in excess. There will react 3* 0.313 = 0.939 moles

There will remain 1.785 - 0.939 = 0.846 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles products

For 1 mol Fe2O3 we need 3 moles CO to produce 2 moles Fe, 3 moles CO2

For 0.313 moles Fe2O3 we'll have 0.626 moles Fe and 0.939 moles CO2

Step 6: Calculate mass products

Mass Fe = 0.626 moles * 55.845 g/mol = 35.0 grams

Mass CO2 = 0.939 moles * 44.01 g/mol  = 41.3 grams
