pls follow me

Explanation:

Supercooling is the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid. A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form.

hope it helps

Given 450.98 g of Cu(NO3)2, how many moles of Ag can be made? Provide your final answer rounded to two decimal places.

vivado [14]

Answer:

4.82 moles of Ag.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 450.98 g of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 63.5 + 2[14 + (16×3)]

= 63.5 + 2[14 + 48]

= 63.5 + 2[62]

= 63.5 + 124

= 187.5 g/mol

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 g

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 / 187.5

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 2.41 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Cu needed to produce 450.98 g (i.e 2.41 moles) of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Cu + 2AgNO₃ —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will also react to produce 2.41 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Thus, 2.41 moles of Cu is needed for the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of Ag produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 2 moles of Ag.

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will react to produce = 2× 2.41 = 4.82 moles of Ag.

Thus, 4.82 moles of Ag were obtained from the reaction.

Which statement regarding the second law of thermodynamics is true?

GREYUIT [131]

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that processes that involve the transfer or conversion of heat energy are irreversible. ... The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; the total quantity of energy in the universe stays the same.

What does the oxidizing agent do in a redox reaction apex?

densk [106]

Same as balancing a regular chemical reaction! Please see the related question to the bottom of this answer for how to balance a normal chemical reaction. This is for oxidation-reduction, or redox reactions ONLY! These instructions are for how to balance a reduction-oxidation, or redox reaction in aqueous solution, for both acidic and basic solution. Just follow these steps! I will illustrate each step with an example. The example will be the dissolution of copper(II) sulfide in aqueous nitric acid, shown in the following unbalanced reaction: CuS (s) + NO 3 - (aq) ---> Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) + NO (g) Step 1: Write two unbalanced half-reactions, one for the species that is being oxidized and its product, and one for the species that is reduced and its product. Here is the unbalanced half-reaction involving CuS: CuS (s) ---> Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) And the unbalanced half-reaction for NO 3 - is: NO 3 - (aq) --> NO (g) Step 2: Insert coefficients to make the numbers of atoms of all elements except oxygen and hydrogen equal on the two sides of each half-reaction. In this case, copper, sulfur, and nitrogen are already balanced in the two half-reaction, so this step is already done here. Step 3: Balance oxygen by adding H 2 O to one side of each half-reaction. CuS + 4 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- NO 3 - --> NO + 2 H 2 O Step 4: Balance hydrogen atoms. This is done differently for acidic versus basic solutions. . For acidic solutions: Add H 3 O + to each side of each half-reaction that is "deficient" in hydrogen (the side that has fewer H's) and add an equal amount of H 2 O to the other side. For basic solutions: add H 2 O to the side of the half-reaction that is "deficient" in hydrogen and add an equal amount of OH - to the other side. Note that this step does not disrupt the oxygen balance from Step 3. In the example here, it is in acidic solution, and so we have: CuS + 12 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- + 8 H 3 O + . NO 3 - + 4 H 3 O + --> NO + 6 H 2 O Step 5: Balance charge by inserting e - (electrons) as a reactant or product in each half-reaction. Oxidation: CuS + 12 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- + 8 H 3 O + + 8 e - . Reduction: NO 3 - + 4 H 3 O + + 3 e - --> NO + 6 H 2 O . Step 6: Multiply the two half-reactions by numbers chosen to make the number of electrons given off by the oxidation step equal to the number taken up by the reduction step. Then add the two half-reactions. If done correctly, the electrons should cancel out (equal numbers on the reactant and product sides of the overall reaction). If H 3 O + , H 2 O, or OH - appears on both sides of the final equation, cancel out the duplication also. Here the oxidation half-reaction must be multiplied by 3 (so that 24 electrons are produced) and the reduction half-reaction must by multiplied by 8 (so that the same 24 electrons are consumed). 3 CuS + 36 H 2 O ---> 3 Cu 2+ + 3 SO 4 2- + 24 H 3 O + + 24 e - 8 NO 3 - + 32 H 3 O + + 24 e - ---> 8 NO + 48 H 2 O Adding these two together gives the following equation: 3 CuS + 36 H 2 O + 8 NO 3 - + 8 H 3 O + ---> 3 Cu 2+ + 3 SO 4 2- + 8 NO + 48 H 2 O Step 7: Finally balancing both sides for excess of H 2 O (On each side -36) This gives you the following overall balanced equation at last: 3 CuS (s) + 8 NO 3 - (aq) + 8 H 3 O + (aq) ---> 3 Cu 2+ (aq) + 3 SO 4 2- (aq) + 8 NO (g) + 12 H 2 O (l)

Draw the Lewis dot structure for the compound gallium oxide with the chemical formula Ga2O3

Brut [27]

Answer:

Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.

Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.

One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.
