Metal oxides react with carbon and are reduced to the metal. The metal in the reaction above is copper.

The equation of the reaction is;

2MO(s) + C(s) -> 2M(s) + CO2(g)

We are told in the question that carbon is in excess so the metal oxide is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of metal oxide = 34.49 g/M + 16

From PV = nRT

P = 1.50 atm

V = 4.42 L

T = 100°C + 273 = 373 K

n =?

R = 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

n = PV/RT

n = 1.50 atm × 4.42 L/0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 × 373 K

n = 6.63/30.58

=0.217 moles

If 2 moles of metal oxide yields 1 mole of CO2

34.49 g/M + 16 yields 0.217 moles of CO2

34.49 g/M + 16 = 2 × 0.217

34.49 /M + 16 = 0.434

34.49 = 0.434(M + 16)

34.49 = 0.434M + 6.944

M = 34.49 - 6.944/0.434

M = 63.5

The metal is copper.

The skeletal structure in line‑angle (line‑bond) mode of 2‑isopropyltoluene is shown. Identify the number of hydrogen atoms boun

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Fourteen hydrogen atoms are bounded in total to the carbon atoms in the structure

Explanation:

The boxes that show "one" indicate that there is only one hydrogen atom bonded to that particular carbon atom while those that show "zero" shows there are no hydrogen atoms bonded to that particular carbon atom. Those that show "three" indicate that there are three hydrogen atoms bonded to that particular carbon.

There are 10 carbon atoms in the structure.

NOTE that each of these carbon atoms must be surrounded with four bonds; which was how the number of hydrogen atoms (numbers in the boxes) weree determined.

2 C4H10 + 13 O2--> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ --> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

To find the number of CO₂ molecules, you need to start with 100 grams of butane (C₄H₁₀), convert to moles (using the molar mass), convert to moles of CO₂ (using coefficients from equation), then convert to molecules (using Avagadro's number). The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is calculated using the quantity of each element (subscript) multiplied by the number on the periodic table. The ratios should be arranged in a way that allows for units to be cancelled.

4(12.011g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) = 58.124 g/mol C₄H₁₀

100 grams C₄H₁₀ 1 mol C₄H₁₀ 8 mol CO₂
-------------------------- x ---------------------- x ---------------------
58.124 g 2 mol C₄H₁₀

6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x ------------------------------------ = 4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
1 mol CO₂

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 170 mol of hydrogen gas and 80 mol of oxygen gas. Express your

Sav [38]

Answer: The amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen gas = 170 moles

Moles of oxygen gas = 80 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 80=160mol$ of hydrogen gas

As, given amount of hydrogen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 80=160moles$ of water

Hence, the amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles
