Answer:
Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometry problem.
- We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:
<em>2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.</em>
- It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.
- Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>
- The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.
- The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol.
- <em>From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.</em>
∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³ mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of CuCl₂ with <em>(2:3)</em> ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.
- From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
- So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
- Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:
mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³ mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.
- <u><em>So, the answer is:</em></u>
<em>Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.</em>
D has a total of four significant figures.
Answer:
C. 81 degrees Celsius
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we can use the relation:
<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>
where, Q is the amount of heat released from water (Q = - 1200 J).
m is the mass of the water (m = 20.0 g).
c is the specific heat capacity of water (c of water = 4.186 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = final T - 95.0°C).
<em>∵ Q = m.c.ΔT</em>
∴ (- 1200 J) = (20.0 g)(4.186 J/g.°C)(final T - 95.0°C ).
(- 1200 J) = 83.72 final T - 7953.
∴ final T = (- 1200 J + 7953)/83.72 = 80.67 °C ≅ 81.0 °C.
<em>So, the right choice is: C. 81 degrees Celsius
</em>
