The balanced reaction between copper and oxygen to form the copper oxide can be written as follows:
 
                        2Cu + O₂ --> 2CuO

This signifies that every two moles of Cu will react with 1 mole of O₂. 

We are given with 254.2 g of Cu, solving for the amount of O₂ needed:
       (254.2 g of Cu)(1 mol/63.55 g of Cu)(1 mol O₂/2 mol Cu)(32 g O₂/1 mol O₂) = 64 g of O₂

We are also given that 286.2 g of copper oxide is formed, solving for the amount of oxygen needed for the reaction to form the product:
     (286.2 g of CuO)(1 mol CuO/79.545 g)(1 mol O2/2 mol CuO)(32 g O2/1 mol O2)
              = 57.57 g of O2

From the two calculated values, our answer would be the lesser one. This signifies that not all copper reacted to oxygen forming the copper oxide. 

<em>ANSWER: 57.57 g of O₂</em>

What is the emperical formula for a compound containing 68.3% lead, 10.6% sulfur, and the remainder oxygen? a. Pb2SO4 b. PbSO3 c
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

Option c.

Explanation:

The % percent composition indicates that in 100 g of compound we have:

68.3 g of Pb, 10.6 g of S and  (100 - 68.3 - 10.6) = 21.1 g of O

We divide each element by the molar mass:

68.3 g Pb / 207.2 g/mol = 0.329 moles Pb

10.6 g S / 32.06 g/mol = 0.331 moles S

21.1 g O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 moles O

We divide each mol by the lowest value to determine, the molecular formula

0.329 / 0.329 = 1 Pb

0.331 / 0.329 = 1 S

1.32 / 0.329 = 4 O

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

A student builds a model of a race car. The scale is 1:15. In the scale model, the car is 8 cm tall.How tall is the actual car?
Xelga [282]

let the actual height of car be x

now, according to question,

  • \dfrac{1}{15}  =  \dfrac{8}{x}

  • x = 15 \times 8

  • x = 120 \:  \: cm

  • height \:  \: of \:  \: car   =   120 \:   cm \:  \: or \:  \: 1.2 \:  \: m

How many grams of nano3 would you add to 500g of h2o in order to prepare a solution that is 0.500 molal in nano3?
VARVARA [1.3K]
When the concentration is expressed in molality, it is expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Since we are given the mass of the solvent, which is water, we can compute for the moles of solute NaNO3.

0.5 m = x mol NaNO3/0.5 kg water
x = 0.25 mol NaNO3

Since the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85 g/mol, the mass is

0.25 mol * 85 g/mol = 21.25 grams NaNO3 needed
