Copper sulfate is a blue solid that is used to control algae growth. Solutions of copper sulfate that come in contact with the surface of galvanized ( Zinc-plated) steel pails undergo the following reaction that forms copper metal on the zinc surface. How many grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate (160g/mol)? CuSO4(aq)+ Zn(s)>>>>Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)

185.49 grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate

Explanation:

Yo know the following balanced reaction:

CuSO₄(aq)+ Zn(s) →Cu(s) + ZnSO₄(aq)

You can see that by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reagents and products are part of the reaction:

Being:

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of mass of reagent and product participate in the reaction:

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if 160 grams of CuSO₄ react with 65.37 grams of Zn by this reaction stoichiometry, 454 grams of CuSO₄ with how much mass of Zn will it react?

mass of Zn= 185.49 grams

185.49 grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
