Since the total mass is 160, how much does Sulphur contribute to it?
= 64 (Cu) + 32 ( S) + 16*4 (O2)
Therefore, sulphur contributes 32g of the total 160g.
Ohh thanx ! so this is da way !!!! :p Lolz!@@! JazakAllah@

A chemical engineer plans to produce hydrochloric acid.
Which metal is best for the reaction container?

A copper
B iron
C magnesium
D zinc

Could someone please explain why the answer is A? :s

22-you must make hydarted crystals thus, you first need to filter off your solution and keep the residue which are the crystals. Then you will repeat the procedure of adding CuO to the acid as to concentrate the crystals. Then you will filter off again and will then wash the crystals. You cannot heat the crystals as the question clearly asks for Hydrated crystals. Heat will certainly remove the water giving anhydrous crystals. so teh correct order is 2-1-2-4

26- A and B are eliminated directly as both chlorine and fluorine are more reactive than bromine so they aren't displaced thus no colour change is observed
for C, Fluoride ions are more reactive than chloride ions thus again no dsiplacement takes place and the solution doesnt change colour
Yet, for D , the correct answer, Chlorine is more reactive than iodine thus it will displace the iodide ions from the solution and will result into sodiumchloride and iodine. I2 which is iodine solution is red-brown in colour and this is what causes a dark colour to be formed from colourless to dark brown.

the metal must be less reactive than Hydrogen or else the acid will react with the metal meaning that hydrogen will be displaced by this reactive metal. So you must choose a less reactive metal, less reactive than hydrogen. Only copper is less reactive than hydrogen thus copper will not react with the acid to try and displace these hydrogen ions.
The reactivity series for metals is
K
Na
Ca
Mg
Al
C
Zn
Fe
Sn
Pb
H
Cu
Ag
Au
Pt

For June 2010 question, The number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. The diagram specifies that there are 9 particles in the nucleus. So if there are 4 protons in the nucleus, the remaining 5 particles will have to be neutrons.
