Consider some unknown compound containing only copper and oxygen. In order to determine the empirical formula, a sample of the c

ompound is decomposed into the elements copper and oxygen. The original sample had a mass of 0.6349g prior to decomposition. After the reaction, 0.5066g of pure copper solid was recovered. How many moles of copper were initially in the sample?

The number of mole of copper in the sample is 0.008 mole.

Mole is simply defined as the unit of amount in a substance.

The mole of a substance can be obtained by dividing the mass of the subtance by its molar mass i.e

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above information, we can obtain the mole of copper in the compound as follow:

Mass of copper = 0.5066 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

<h3>Mole of copper =? </h3>

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of copper = 0.5066 / 63.5

<h3>Mole of copper = 0.008 mole </h3>

Therefore, 0.008 mole of copper was initially present in the compound.

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 39.1 ml of a 0.112 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the
aleksandrvk [35]
The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry  of base to acid is 2:1
NaOH is a strong acid and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, therefore complete ionization into their respective ions takes place.
number of acid moles reacted - 0.112 M / 1000 mL/L x 39.1 mL = 0.0044 mol
the number of base moles required for neutralisation = 0.0044 x 2 = 0.0088 mol
Number of NaOH moles in 25.0 mL - 0.0088 mol
Therefore in 1000 mL  - 0.0088 mol/ 25.0 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity of NaOH - 0.352 M

Which is true about all the different types of matter?
Marat540 [252]
Answer: 1. It is made up of the same basic particles

Matter is made up of atoms, molecules, and ions that cause it to have mass and volume. The different types of matter are made up of the same basic particles but differ on the molecular arrangement and energy the atoms contains that's why they appear differently and have different properties.
