What is the total mass of copper consumed when 16.0 moles of water are produced? 3cu + 8hno3 → 3cu(no3)2 + 2no + 4h2o

762.55 g.

Explanation:

3Cu + 8HNO₃ → 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O.

It is clear that 3 mol of Cu reacts with 8 mol of HNO₃ to produce 3 mol of Cu(NO₃)₂, 2 mol of NO, and 4 mol of H₂O.

Using cross multiplication:

3 mol of Cu produce → 4 mol of H₂O, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Cu produce → 16 mol of H₂O.

∴ no. of moles of Cu needed = (3 mol)(16 mol)/(4 mol) = 12 mol.

∴ mass of Cu = (no. of moles)(atomic mass of Cu) = (12 mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 762.55 g.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
