Answer:

Lighter, positively charged particles form at the top of the cloud. Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud.

Consider the following Reaction.
jeyben [28]

Hey there!:

Molar mass of Mg(OH)2 = 58.33 g/mol


number of moles Mg(OH)2 :

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 30.6 / 58.33 =>  0.5246 moles

Molar mass of H3PO4 =  97.99 g/mol

number of moles H3PO4:

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 63.6 / 97.99 => 0.649 moles

Balanced chemical equation is:


3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 --->  Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O


3 mol of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 mol of H3PO4  ,for 0.5246 moles of Mg(OH)2, 0.3498 moles of H3PO4 is required , but we have 0.649 moles of H3PO4, so, Mg(OH)2 is limiting reagent !

Now , we will use Mg(OH)2 in further calculation  .

Molar mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = 262.87 g/mol

According to balanced equation  :

mol of Mg3(PO4)2 formed = (1/3)* moles of Mg(OH)2


= (1/3)*0.5246


= 0.1749 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

use :

mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = number of mol * molar mass


= 0.1749 *  262.87

= 46 g of Mg3(PO4)2

Therefore:

% yield = actual mass * 100 / theoretical mass

% = 34.7 * 100 / 46

% = 3470 / 46

= 75.5%


Hope that helps!

Minerals are very useful to us. Which of the following is a false statement? Question options: Pyrite is an ore of gold and is u
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The false statement is :

  • Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
  • Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used  to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.

Where as talc is used in industries like : paper making, food, paints, plastics etc. Quartz is primary material used to prepare glass and cobalt is used as

Technetium-104 has a half life of 18.0 minutes. how much of a 165.0 g sample remains after 90.0 minutes?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The mass of 165.0 g sample that remains after 90.0 minutes is 5.16 grams

calculation

lambda㏑2/18= 0.0385

m(t)= 165 x e( 0.0385 x90)  =5.16g
