Answer:

310.53 g of Cu.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CuSO₄ + Zn —> ZnSO₄ + Cu

Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO₄ that reacted and the mass Cu produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CuSO₄ = 63.5 + 32 + (16×4)

= 63.5 + 32 + 64

= 159.5 g/mol

Mass of CuSO₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 159.5 = 159.5 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.5 g/mol

Mass of Cu from the balanced equation = 1 × 63.5 = 63.5 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Cu produced by the reaction of 780 g of CuSO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.

Therefore, 780 g of CuSO₄ will react to produce = (780 × 63.5)/159.5 = 310.53 g of Cu.

Thus, 310.53 g of Cu were obtained from the reaction.

Calculate the number of moles of caco3 (calcium carbonate, or limestone) in a 20.0g sample of this substance

Brrunno [24]

First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.

molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃

Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>

Explain why beryllium is produced when potassium is heated with beryllium

Vladimir [108]

Explanation:

The more reactive element replaces less reactive element during chemical reaction.

Since, potassium is more reactive than beryllium. When potassium reacts with beryllium choride, it replaces beryllium and forms potassium chloride and produces beryllium.

An ideal gaseous reaction (which is a hypothetical gaseous reaction that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) occurs at

lana [24]

Answer:

ΔU = −55.45 kJ

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics in chemistry, we have;

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU is change in internal energy

Q is the net heat transfer

W is the net work done

We are given;

Q = 74.6 kJ

But Q will be negative since heat is released

Thus;

ΔU = -74.6 kJ + W

We are given;

Constant pressure; P = 35 atm = 35 × 101325 = 3546375 N/m²

Volume before reaction; Vi = 8.2 L = 0.0082 m³

Volume after reaction; V_f = 2.8 L = 0.0028 m³

Now,

W = -P(V_f - V_i)

W = - 3546375(0.0028 - 0.0082)

W = 19.15 KJ

Thus;

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU = -74.6 kJ + 19.15 KJ =

ΔU = −55.45 kJ

A closed container holds 2.0 moles of CO2 gas at STP. How many moles of oxygen can be placed in a container of the same size at

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: 2 moles

Explanation:

STP is Standard Temperature and Pressure. That means the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 273K. Since the oxygen is placed in the same container, we can use Ideal Gas Law to figure out what container the CO₂ used.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

P=1.00 atm

n=moles

R=0.08206 Latm/Kmol

T=273K

CO₂

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$
