125 grams of HCl are used. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g). What is the percent yield if 1.2 moles of hydrogen are actually

produced?

Answer:

70%

Explanation:

To find the percent yield, you need to (1) convert grams HCl to moles (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles HCl to moles H₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation), then (3) calculate the percent yield H₂ (via percent yield equation).

Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq) --> ZnCl₂ (aq) + 1 H₂ (g)

Molar Mass (HCl): 1.008 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole
Molar Mass (HCl) = 36.458 g/mole

125 g HCl         1 mole HCl         1 mole H₂
---------------  x  ------------------  x  ------------------  = 1.7 moles H₂
                         36.458 g           2 moles HCl

(actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100% = percent yield

theoretical/calculated yield = 1.7 moles H₂
actual yield = 1.2 moles H₂

(1.2 moles H₂ / 1.7 moles H₂) x 100% = 71%

Therefore, the best percent yield of hydrogen produced is 70%.

What is the coordination number for each of the following complexes or compounds? [Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]3+ [Cr(EDTA)]− [Pt(NH3)4]2+ Na
Burka [1]

Answer:

[Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)₂]³⁺: coordination number = 6.

[Cr(EDTA)]⁻: coordination number = 6.

[Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺: coordination number = 4.

Na[Au(Cl)₂]: coordination number = 2.

Explanation:

  • [Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)₂]³⁺:

In this complex, Co is bonded with 4 molecules of NH₃ (with 4 coordinate bonds, one bond for each molecule) and 2 molecules of H₂O (with 2 coordinate bonds, one bond for each molecule) forming the complex with 6 coordinate bonds.

∴ coordination number = 6.

  • [Cr(EDTA)]⁻:

In this complex, Cr is bonded with 1 molecules of EDTA (with 6 coordinate bonds, 4 O atoms and 2 N atoms in EDTA molecule).

∴ coordination number = 6.

  • [Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺:

In this complex, Pt is bonded with 4 molecules of NH₃ (with 4 coordinate bonds, one bond for each molecule).

coordination number = 4.

  • Na[Au(Cl)₂]:

In this complex, Au is bonded with 2 atoms of Cl (with 2 coordinate bonds, one bond for each atom).

coordination number = 2.

Energy is stored in chemical bonds during photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, the radiant energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in carbohydrates.

Inorganic materials in the form of carbon dioxide and oxygen combine to form carbohydrates in the presence of radiant energy according to the equation below:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

The energy is thus, stored in chemical bonds in the carbohydrate and this is what is oxidized during respiration to release the locked energy.

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.
