If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how many grams of the excess reactant will be left over when the reaction is complete? unbalanced equation: cu + agno3 yields cu(no3)2 + ag you

-

29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2 will be formed.

4.756 grams of AgNO3 will be left over when the reaction is complete.

Explanation:-

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.546 g mol -1

Molecular weight of AgNO3 = 107.87 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3

= 169.87 g mol-1

Number of moles of Copper = 9.85 gram / (63.546 g mol-1)

= 0.155 mol

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 31 gram / ( 169.87 g mol-1)

= 0.183 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Cu + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

According to the equation,

1 mole of Cu reacts with 1 mole of AgNO3.

∴0.155 mol of Cu react with 0.155 mol of AgNO3.

Number of moles of AgNO3 left over = 0.183-0.155=0.028 mol

Number of grams of AgNO3 left over = 0.028 mol x 169.87 grams mol-1

= 4.756 gram

Molecular weight of Cu(NO3)2 = 63.546 x 1 + (14 x 1 +16 x 3 ) x 2

=187.546 gram

Now from the balanced chemical equation,

1 Cu gives 1 Cu(NO3)2

∴ 63.546 g of Cu gives 187.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

9.85 grams pf Cu gives 187.546 x 9.85 / 64.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

= 29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
