Based on the equation 3 Cu (s) + 8 HNO3 (aq) 3 Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO (g) + 4H2O (g) how many grams of Cu would be needed to react

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Mass = 381.28 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of HNO₃ = 16 mol

Mass of Cu needed to react with 16 mol of HNO₃ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3Cu + 8HNO₃ → 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4H₂O + 2NO

Now we will compare the moles of Cu with HNO₃ from balance chemical equation.

HNO₃ : Cu

8 : 3

16 : 3/8×16 = 6

Mass of Cu needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 6 mol × 63.546 g/mol

Mass = 381.28 g

The reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)−→−2NO2(g) is second order in NO and first order in O2. When [NO]=0.040M, and [O2]=0.035M, the observed

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

(a) The rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ is: $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s

(b) The value of rate constant is: 0.83036 $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

(d) The rate will increase by a factor of 3.24

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of the concentrations of the reactants and products in accordance with the balanced equation.

For the given reaction:

$2NO(g)+O_{2}->2NO_{2}$

rate = $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = $-\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}]$ = $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}[NO_{2}]$ -----(1)

According to the question, the reaction is second order in NO and first order in $O_{2}$ .

Then we can say that, rate = k $[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]$ -----(2)

where k is the rate constant.

The rate of disappearance of NO is given:

$-\frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = $9.3*10^{-5}$ M/s.

(a) From (1), we can get the rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ .

Rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ = $-\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}]$ = (0.5)*( $9.3*10^{-5}$ ) M/s = $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s.

(b) The rate of the reaction can be obtained from (1).

rate = $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = (0.5)*( $9.3*10^{-5}$ )

rate = $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s

The value of rate constant can be obtained by using (2).

rate constant = k = $\frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}$

k = $\frac{4.65*10^{-5}}{(0.040)^{2}(0.035)}$ = 0.83036 $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

k = $\frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}$

Substituting the units of rate as M/s and concentrations as M, we get:

$\frac{Ms^{-1} }{M^{3}}$ = $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

(d) The reaction is second order in NO. Rate is proportional to square of the concentration of NO.

$rate\alpha [NO]^{2}$

If the concentration of NO increases by a factor of 1.8, the rate will increase by a factor of $(1.8)^{2}$ = 3.24

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between hydrocyanic acid and potassium hydroxide. Do not include states such as (a

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is as follows:

HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction between Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and sodium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.

Hydrocyanic acid being a weak acid ionizes only slightly, while sodium hydroxide being a strong base ionizes completely. The equation for the reaction is given below:

A. HCN(aq) + NaOH-(aq) ----> NaCN(aq) + H2O(l)

Since Hydrocyanic acid is written in the aqueous form as it ionizes only slightly and the ionic equation is given below:

HCN(aq) + Na+(aq)+OH-(aq) ----> Na+(aq)+CN-(aq) + H2O(l)

Na+ being a spectator ion is removed from the net ionic equation given below:

HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)
