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.

Which property of water makes it helpful to use in car radiators?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The correct answer is<span> C) Water takes long to heat and cool down than other liquids.

It doesn't climb up the sides of a tube any more than other solutions do, and being a universal solvent has nothing to do with radiators. It does however take a long time to heat and cool down since you don't have a 100+ celsius burner to heat it up in an instant.</span>

What mass of lead (II) chloride is produced when 200.0 mL of a 0.250 M solution of sodium chloride is mixed with 200.0 mL of a 0
kow [346]

Answer:

Option d. 6.95 g

Explanation:

First of all, we state the reaction:

2NaCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbCl₂ +  2NaNO₃

We determine the moles of each reactant, to state the limiting

Firstly we convert volume frm mL to L

0.200 L . 0.250M = 0.05 moles of NaCl

0.200L . 0.250M = 0.05 moles of Pb(NO₃)₂

Acording to stoichiometry we know that relation is 1:2, so the limiting reagent is the NaCl.

For 1 mol of Pb(NO₃)₂ I need 2 moles of NaCl

For 0.05 moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ I would need, the double → 0.1 moles

(We only have, 0.05 moles of NaCl)

Stoichiometry to the formed product is 2:1

From 2 moles of NaCl I produce 1 mol of PbCl₂

From 0.05 moles I would produce, the half → 0.025 moles

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.025 mol . 278.1 g / 1mol = 6.95 g

Ou have a 5 ml sample of a protein in 0.5 m nacl. you place the protein/salt sample inside dialysis tubing (see fig. 2-14) and p
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Procedure (2)  

Explanation:

Assume the dialyses come to equilibrium in the allotted times.

Procedure (1)

If you are dialyzing 5 mL of sample against 4 L of water, the concentration of NaCl will be decreased by a factor of

\dfrac{5}{4000} = \dfrac{1}{800}

Procedure (2)

For the first dialysis, the factor is

\dfrac{5}{1000} = \dfrac{1}{200}

After a second dialysis, the original concentration of NaCl will be reduced by a factor of  

\dfrac{1}{200} \times \dfrac{1}{200} = \dfrac{1}{40000}

Procedure (2) is more efficient by a factor of  

\dfrac{40000}{800} = \mathbf{50}

How many moles of h+ are associated with the acid h2so3 during neutralization?
Katena32 [7]

H2SO3 or sulfurous acid is actually a strong acid. We know for a fact that strong acids completely dissociate into its component ions in a solution, that is:

 

<span>H2SO3 -->  2H+  +  SO3-</span>

 

<span>So from the equation above, there are 2 moles of H+</span>
