Answer:

24 mol Cu

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry</u>

  • Stoichiometry

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

RxN: 2Cu (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CuO (s)

Given: 12 moles O₂

<u>Step 2: Stoichiometry</u>

<u />12 \ mol \ O_2(\frac{2 \ mol \ Cu}{1 \ mol \ O_2} ) = 24 mol Cu

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

Our final answer is in 2 sig figs, so no need to round.

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  </u>

Thus, Kp is:

K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}

What is that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide I if 3.20 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.70 mole of oxygen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

163.2g

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3

From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.

From the equation,

4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.

Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.

Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol

Mass of Al2O3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g

Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g

How can you determine which bond in a structure is more polar without using an electronegativity table?
UkoKoshka [18]
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:

I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).

Which compound is produced when HCl(aq) is neutralized by Ca(OH)2(aq)?
kiruha [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which acid reacts with a base to produce a salt along with water.

Here, HCl is an acid and Ca(OH)_2 is a base. When these two compounds react, the salt obtained is calcium chloride.

The equation for the above reaction is given by:

2HCl(aq.)+Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)+2H_2O(l)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
