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.

Use wedge-bond perspective drawings (if necessary) to sketch the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape clas
yuradex [85]

The atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has shape square pyramidal at the corers of square and one at the above center of the square.

<h3>What is square pyramidal?</h3>

The square pyramidal is a shape geometry of the hybridization in which it consists of one lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons that repel each other and due to which the geometry changes from octahedral to square pyramidal.

As atoms are located at the four corners of the planer and one atom at the above center of the planner which is repelled by 4 atoms present at the corner of the planer.

Therefore, the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has a shape square pyramidal at the corners of the square and one at the above center of the square.
