Capillarity. Capillary action is what causes anything with a wick to work, think about when you stick the corner of a paper towel in water, the water soaks up the paper towel.

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2

valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

$\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706$

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75$

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

$\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)$

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5$

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

$\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%$

72.0 grams of water how many miles of sodium with react with it?

Flura [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{8.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses, moles, and molar masses.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

Mᵣ: 18.02

2Na + H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g: 72.0

2. Moles of H₂O

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{72.0 g H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O}$

3. Moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂O.

$\text{Moles of Na} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Na}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{8.00 mol Na}\\\\\text{The water will react with $\large \boxed{\textbf{ 8.00 mol}}$ of Na}$

Consider the following properties: I) The red color of rubies is due to the presence of chromium ions. II) Objects made of silve

quester [9]

Answer:

II) Objects made of silver become tarnished.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without changing identity of substance.

Chemical properties are the properties which describe how the substance changes into the different substance completely.

Boiling is an example of physical change in state of the substance. Color is also an example of physical property like boiling point and hence these are constants. The reason of the color is that the chromium ions shows certain colors as the electrons are excited due to absorption of the light. The tarnishing of the silver is an example of the chemical change which occurs due to the reaction of the silver with oxygen. This is also known as corrosion.

In addition to mass balance, oxidation-reduction reactions must be balanced such that the number of electrons lost in the oxidat

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

OH−(aq), and H+(aq)

Explanation:

Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;

MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.

For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.

Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.
