Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Suggested Reading Thus the oxidation number for oxygen in calcium oxide is -2. ... In effect, each calcium atom loses two electrons to form Ca2+ ions, and each O atom in O2 gains two electrons to form O2- ions. The net result is a transfer of electrons from calcium to oxygen, so this reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

+<u>O²</u><u>(</u><u>g</u><u>)</u><u>=</u><u>2</u><u>CaO</u><u>(</u><u>s</u><u>)</u>

Explanation:

we can conclude that in the reaction there is both reduction and oxidation.

You have 1.0 mole of each compound below. which has the greatest mass?
kramer
(a) Iron (iii) sulphate:
From the periodic table:
mass of iron = 55.845 grams
mass of sulphur = 32.065 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Iron (iii) sulphate has the formula: Fe2(SO4)3
molar mass = 2(55.845) + 3(32.065) + 3(4)(16) = 399.885 grams

(b) Sodium hydroxide:
From the periodic table:
mass of sodium = 22.989 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Sodium hydroxide has the formula: NaOH
molar mass = 22.989 + 16 + 1 = 39.989 grams

(c) Barium carbonate
From the periodic table:
mass of barium = 137.327 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Barium carbonate has the formula: BaCO3
molar mass = 137.327 + 12 + 3(16) = 197.327 grams

(d) ammonium nitrate:
From the periodic table:
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Ammonium nitrate has the formula: NH4NO3
molar mass = 14 + 4(1) + 14 + 3(16) = 80 grams

(e) Lead (iv) oxide
From the periodic table:
mass of lead = 207.2 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Lead (iv) oxide has the formula: PbO2
molar mass = 207.2 + 2(16) = 239.2 grams

From the above calculations, we can see that:
Iron (iii) sulphate has the greatest mass.

Determine the mass of CuSO4 • 5H20 that must be used to prepare 250mL of 2.01 M CuSO4(aq).
mario62 [17]

Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

             CuSO₄.5H₂O  →   CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

         Number of moles  = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

           Volume  = 250 x 10⁻³L

  Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

        Number of moles  = 250 x 10⁻³  x  2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

             1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O  

So  0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16)  = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

                                      = 0.5 x 249.6

                                     = 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g
