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.
Answer:
Explanation:
In this case, we can start with the reaction:
If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, <u>the reaction is balanced</u>. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the <u>limiting reagent</u>. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the <u>molar mass</u>:
Now, we can <u>divide by the coefficient</u> of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):
The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our <u>limiting reagent</u>. Now, if we use the <u>molar ratio</u> between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:
Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol 
= 48 g (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the <u>molar mass of XY</u> would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:
I hope it helps!
Answer:
71.372 g or 0.7 moles
Explanation:
We are given;
- Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
- Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol
We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide
The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;
4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)
From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen
1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium
Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.
4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2
Thus;
Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5
= 1.4 moles × 0.5
= 0.7 moles
But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol
Thus;
Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol
= 71.372 g
