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%.

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

109/8.56=12.7
50+12.7
V=62.7

Mass= Volume x Density so i divided the mass and density to get the volume. and afterwards i would just add it to the mass to get my final answer

Oxygen is killing us This isnt for science this is real talk the reason oxygen kills us because it damages our cells as we dont
siniylev [52]
I can tell you're not very educated because everyone knows that breathing pure oxygen for long periods of time can sometimes hurt us. Oxygen in lower levels, such as levels found in atmosphere are just right for us to breathe. Get a life and stop trying to scare young kids that just want help on their homework.
