Answer:

d. Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 1.25 g

Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g

What is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →   Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Number of moles of CuSO₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

               Al           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                 2          :             1

               0.05       :          1/2×0.05=0.025 mol

                Al           :            Cu

                 2            :              3

               0.05         :            3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol

         CuSO₄           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                3             :             1

               0.02         :          1/3×0.02=0.007 mol

         CuSO₄           :            Cu

               3               :              3

               0.02         :              0.02

Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Isopropylbenzene

Explanation:

If you draw the structure, you can see that there are two methyl groups and in between there.

Adjacent to CH3, there are four neighbouring hydrogens, therefore, n=4+1 = 5. The same is for methyl on other side. For carbon present in benzene ring,  there is 2, since there is one hydrogen on benzene per carbon.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) > Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?
torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l) is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation 2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l) is 3.

Explanation:

  • For the chemical equation:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

H_3PO_4 is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product Li_3PO_4 is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

Net ionic equation becomes:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

So, the correct option is 1.

  • For the chemical equation:

2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)

HBr and Co(OH)_2 are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, CoBr_2 is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)

The net ionic equation becomes:

H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)

So, the correct option is 3.
