Q1)
the number of moles can be calculated as follows
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
number of moles is the amount of substance.
4.8 g of Ca was added therefore mass present of Ca is 4.8 g
molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol
molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of Ca
therefore if we substitute these values in the equation
number of moles of Ca = 4.8 g / 40 g/mol = 0.12 mol
0.12 mol of Ca is present
q2)
next we are asked to calculate the number of moles of water present
again we can use the same equation to find the number of moles of water
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
3.6 g of water is present
sum of the products of the molar masses of the individual elements by the number of atoms
H - 1 g/mol and O - 16 g/mol
molar mass of water = (1 g/mol x 2 ) + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol
molar mass of H₂O is 18 g/mol
therefore number of moles of water = 3.6 g / 18 g/mol = 0.2 mol
0.2 mol of water is present
Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.
For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.
Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.
For example, 
will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.
Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.
For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.
Your answer is right.
Important elements to consider:
- to use the balanced equation (which you did)
- divide the masses of each compound by the correspondant molar masses (which you did)
- compare the theoretical proportions with the current proportions
Theoretical: 2 mol of Na OH : 1 mol of CuSO4
Then 4 mol of NaOH need 2 mol of CUSO4.
Given that you have more than 2 mol of of CUSO4 you have plenty of it and the NaOH will consume first, being this the limiting reagent.
