<span>4FeS2 + 11O2 = 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2</span>
Percent yield is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.
Actual yield = 55 g ( 1 mol / 159.69 g ) = 0.34 mol Fe2O3
To find for the theoretical yield, we first determine the limiting reactant.
100 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g) = 3.13 mol O2
200 g FeS2 (1 mol / 119.98g) = 1.67 mol FeS2
Therefore, the limiting reactant is O2.
Theoretical yield = 3.13 mol O2 ( 2 mol Fe2O3 / 11 mol O2 ) = 0.57 mol Fe2O3
Percent yield = (0.34 mol / 0.57 mol) x 100 = 59.74%
The answers are
The age of the oldest stars
How fast distant galaxies are moving away from us
Patterns of background radiation.
Explanation:
The Astronomers calculate the age of the universe by looking for oldest stars, and by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and back to big bang.
The Astronomers used the techniques like the age of oldest stars, how fast the distant galaxies are moving away from us, patterns of background radiation and along with the Big Bang as reference point, they estimate that the universe may be approximately 12 billion years old.
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. We calculate as follows:
Average atomic mass = .374 ( 184.953 amu ) + .626 ( <span>186.958 amu ) = 186.208 amu
