What mass of copper is produced when zinc is added to a solution containing 31.9g copper ii tetraoxosulphate vi

12.7g of Cu

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + CuSO4 —> ZnSO4 + Cu

Molar Mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

Molar Mass of CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + (16x4) = 63.5 + 32 + 64 = 159.5g/mol

From the equation,

159.5g of CuSO4 produced 63.5g of Cu.

Therefore, 31.9g of CuSO4 will produce = (31.9 x 63.5) / 159.5 = 12.7g of Cu

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
