How many grams of copper (i) chloride can be produced from the reaction of 73.5 g of copper (i) oxide with hydrochloric acid according to the following reaction? cu2o + 2 hcl à 2 cucl + h2o

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows

Cu₂O + 2HCl ---> 2CuCl + H₂O

Molar ratio of Cu₂O to CuCl is 1:2

mass of Cu₂O reacted - 73.5 g

Number of moles of Cu₂O reacted - 73.5 g / 143 g/mol = 0.51 mol

According to the molar ratio,

when 1 mol of  Cu₂O reacts then 2 mol of CuCl is formed

therefore when 0.51 mol of Cu₂O reacts then - 2 x 0.51 mol of CuCl is formed

number of CuCl moles formed - 1.02 mol

mass of CuCl formed - 1.02 mol x 99 g/mol = 101 g

mass of CuCl formed is 101 g

the answer is the first option

explanation:

just googled it m8. not that hard

lol

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
