If we were to add a piece of solid Cu to an aqueous solution (in water) of silver nitrate, the Silver would be replaced in a single replacement reaction forming aqueous copper (II) nitrate and solid silver. How much silver, in grams, is produced if 15.00 grams of Cu is added to the solution of silver nitrate

50.9 g of Ag

Explanation:

Reaction is:

Cu (s) + 2AgNO₃(aq)  →  2Ag (s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)

1 mol of Cu react to 2 moles of silver nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of solid silver and 1 mol of copper (II) nitrate.

We assume, the silver nitrate in excess.

We determine moles of copper → 15 g . 1mol / 63.55 g = 0.236 moles

Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of copper produce 2 moles of silver

0.236 moles of Cu will produce (0.236 . 2) / 1 = 0.472 moles of Ag

We deterine mass of silver:

0.472 mol . 107.87 g /mol = 50.9 g

idk what the question is about

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
