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.

How many liters are in 2.75 ounces? Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 33.814 ounces Rounded to the result to 3 significant fi
Serggg [28]
1L = 33.814 oz
xL = 2.75 oz

so it's a proportion

1L / 33.814 oz = xL / 2.75

solve for x

(1/33.814) * 2.75 = 0.0813272609 on your calculator, but it's not the answer.

the number in your problem, 2.75 oz, has 3 significant figures. so you can only round this number to 3 significant figures too.

your equipment isn't accurate enough to give a reading to 10 significant figures if that makes sense. you have to give the answer in terms of the term you use with the lowest significant figures.

so with 3 significant figures,

Convert 5.0x10^24 molecules to liters.
Over [174]
To convert the given value we need conversion factors to relate molecules to liters. At STP, we know that 1 mol is equal to 22.4 L  and by using Avogadro's number we can relate molecules to 1 mol. Calculation is as follows:

5.0x10^24 molecules ( 1 mol / <span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules<span> ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol) = 186.0 L </span></span>

What evidence did Alfred Wagner have to support his idea of continental drift
Novosadov [1.4K]
Alfred Wagner's evidence began at the simplest form that the continents appeared to<em> fit</em> together like pieces to a puzzle. It wasn't only that though. The evidence showed that the same rocks and fossils existed on separate continents - the same continents that if pieced together would be connected.
