Answer is: <span>the empirical formula of enargite is Cu</span>₃AsS₄.<span>
If we use 100 grams of enargite:
n(Cu) = 48,41 g </span>÷ 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 0.761 mol.
n(As) = 19.02 g ÷ 74.92 g/mol.
n(As) = 0.254 mol.
n(S) = 32.57 g ÷ 32.065 g/mol.
n(S) = 1.016 mol.
n(Cu) : n(As) : n(S) = 0.761 mol : 0.254 mol : 1.016 mol / 0.254.
n(Cu) : n(As) : n(S) = 3 mol : 1 mol : 4 mol.

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration:
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The disadvantages of each of the given model of electron configuration have been mentioned below:

1). Dot Structures - They take up excess space as they do not display the electron distribution in orbitals.

2). Arrow and line diagrams make the counting of electrons and take up too much space.

3). Written Configurations do not display the electron distribution in orbitals and help in lose counting of electrons easily.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The reducing agent is Zn.

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇄ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction, which can be divided in 2 half-reactions: reduction and oxidation.

In the reduction, H⁺ gains electrons and it is considered the oxidizing agent.

2H⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ H₂

In the oxidation, Zn loses electrons and it is considered the reducing agent.

Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻

Calculate the heat produced by combustion per liter of methanol. Methanol has a density of 0.791 g/mL.
pishuonlain [190]
The  heat  produced  by  combustion   per  liter  of  methanol  is  calculated  as follows
heat   released  =  moles  x heat  of  combustion  of  methanol  
heat   of  combustion  of  CH3OH = 715 kj/mol
calculate  moles   first

 that  is ,moles =mass/molar  mass

calculate  the  mass  =  density  x volume(1L=1000ml)
= 0.791  x1000=791  g
molar  mass  of CH3Oh  =  32g/mol

moles  is therefore=   791 g /  32g/mol  =  24.72moles

heat released is therefore=  24.72mole  x  715  Kj/mol =17673.91 KJ
