Poor precision in scientific measurement may arise from

Based on the experience of the responder, to correctly calculate measurements in real-world. Firstly is to avoid errors as much as possible. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.

For the following balanced equation: 3 Cu(s) + 8 HNO3(aq) → 3 Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO(g) + 4 H2O(l) a) How many moles of HNO3 will r

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a) 26.67 moles HNO3

b) 0.33 moles NO

c) 0.40 moles NO is produced

d).157 moles Cu

e) 0.105 moles NO

f) 26.4 grams HNO3

g) Cu is in excess

h) 2.41 grams Cu remain

i) 2.37 grams NO

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Molar mass of HNO3 = 63.01 g/mol

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of NO = 30.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3 Cu(s) + 8 HNO3(aq) → 3 Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO(g) + 4 H2O(l)

a) How many moles of HNO3 will react with 10 moles of Cu?

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

For 10 moles Cu we need 8/3 *10 = 26.67 moles HNO3

b) How many moles of NO will form if 0.50 moles of Cu reacts?

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

For 0.50 moles Cu we'll have 2/3 *0.50 = 0.33 moles NO

c) If 0.80 moles of H2O forms, how much NO must also form?

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

If 0.80 moles H2O is produced, 0.80/2 = 0.40 moles NO is produced

d) How many moles of Cu are in 10.0 grams of Cu?

Moles Cu = 10.0 grams / 63.55 g/mol = 0.157 moles

In 10.0 grams Cu we have 0.157 moles Cu

e) If 10.0 g of Cu reacts, how many moles of NO will form?

10.0 grams Cu = 0.157 moles

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

For 0.157 moles Cu we'll have 2/3 * 0.157 = 0.105 moles NO

f) If 10.0 g of Cu reacts, how many grams of HNO3 are required?

10.0 grams Cu = 0.157 moles

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

For 0.157 moles Cu we'll need 0.419 moles HNO3

This is 0.419 moles * 63.01 g/mol = 26.4 grams HNO3

g) If 10.0 g of Cu and 20.0 g of HNO3 are put together in a reaction vessel, which one will be in excess?

Moles Cu = 0.157 moles

Moles HNO3 = 20.0 grams / 63.01 g/mo = 0.317 moles

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

The limiting reactant is HNO3. It will completely be consumed (0.317 moles). Cu is in excess. There will react 3/8 * 0.317 = 0.119 moles Cu

There will remain 0.157 - 0.119 = 0.038 moles

h) How many grams of the excess substance will be left over?

There will react 3/8 * 0.317 = 0.119 moles Cu

There will remain 0.157 - 0.119 = 0.038 moles

This is 0.038 moles * 63.55 g/mol = 2.41 grams

i) How many grams of NO will form in the reaction described in part g?

For 3 moles Cu we need 8 moles HNO3 to produce 3 moles Cu(NO3)2, 2 moles NO and 4 moles H2O

For 0.317 moles HNO3 we'll have 0.317/4 = 0.0793 moles NO

This is 0.079 mol * 30.01 g/mol = 2.37 grams NO
