Taking into account definition of percent yield, the percent yield for the reaction is 91.17%.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Fe₂O₃: 1 mole
  • CO: 3 moles
  • Fe: 2 moles
  • CO₂: 3 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Fe₂O₃: 159.7 g/mole
  • CO: 28 g/mole
  • Fe: 55.85 g/mole
  • CO₂: 44 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Fe₂O₃: 1 mole ×159.7 g/mole= 159.7 grams
  • CO: 3 moles ×28 g/mole= 84 grams
  • Fe: 2 moles ×55.85 g/mole= 111.7 grams
  • CO₂: 3 moles ×44 g/mole= 132 grams
<h3>Mass of Fe formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 159.7 grams of Fe₂O₃ form 111.7 grams of Fe, 50.5 grams of Fe₂O₃ form how much mass of Fe?

mass of Fe=\frac{50.5 grams of Fe_{2} O_{3} x111.7 grams of Fe}{159.7 grams of Fe_{2} O_{3}}

<u><em>mass of Fe= 35.32 grams</em></u>

Then, 35.32 grams of Fe can be produced from 50.5 g iron(III) oxide.

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual return to the theoretical return expressed as a percentage.

The percent yield is calculated as the experimental yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100%:

percent yield=\frac{actual yield}{theorical yield}x100

where the theoretical yield is the amount of product acquired through the complete conversion of all reagents in the final product, that is, it is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reagents.

<h3>Percent yield for the reaction in this case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • actual yield= 32.2 grams
  • theorical yield= 35.32 grams

Replacing in the definition of percent yields:

percent yield=\frac{32.2grams}{35.32grams}x100

Solving:

<u><em>percent yield= 91.17%</em></u>

Finally, the percent yield for the reaction is 91.17%.

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

17. 50% chances of round offspring

18. 25% chances two copies of dominant allele in the genotype of offspring

Explanation:

17. In this question it is stated that the Spongebob is heterozygous and has a square body which means the square body is dominant over the round that is present in sponge Susie that means she has two copies of the recessive allele.

S for square trait and s for a round trait then

    S     s

s Ss    ss

s Ss    ss

Thus, the correct answer is 50 percent as there are only two copies of ss.

18. in this question Patric and Patti both have heterozygous for the pink (P) body-color dominant over yellow (p). The chances for the true-breeding dominant genotype would be -

     P    p

P   PP  Pp

p   Pp  pp

There is only one out of four rue-breeding dominant offspring will be produced.

If there is a 2 kg ball with the same kinetic energy which one will be moving faster
Andrew [12]

Answer:

If you double the mass of an object, you double the kinetic energy. If you double the speed of an object, the kinetic energy increases by four times. The word "kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinesis" which means motion. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another in the form of a collision.
