Step 1

The reaction is written and balanced:

4 Rb + O2 =>2 Rb2O

-----------

Step 2

Define % yield of product (Rb2O) = (Actual yield/Theoretical yield) x 100

The actual yield is provided by the exercise = 39.7 g

----------

Step 3

Determine the limiting reactant. The molar masses are needed to solve this:

For Rb) 85.4 g/mol

For O2) 32 g/mol

Procedure:

4 Rb + O2 =>2 Rb2O

4 x 85.4 g Rb ----- 32 g O2

82.4 g Rb ----- X = 7.72 g O2 are needed

For 82.4 g Rb, 7.72 g O2 is needed, but there is 11.6 g O2. Therefore, O2 is the excess agent. Rb is the limiting reactant.

--------

Step 4

Determine the theoretical yield from the limiting reactant:

The molar mass Rb2O) 187 g/mol

Procedure:

4 x 85.4 g Rb ------ 2 x 187 g Rb2O

82.4 g Rb ------ X = 90.2 g Rb2O = Theoretical yield

---------

Step 5

% yield = Actual y./Theoretical y. x 100 = (39.7 g/90.2 g) x 100 = 44 % approx.

Answer: % yield = 44 %

Determine whether each of the following statements about sulfur oxide and/or nitrogen oxide pollution is true or false.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) False

b) False

c) True

Explanation:

a) Most sulfur oxides formed during combustion come from sulfur in the air: The sulfur burns in presence of oxygen to produce sulfur oxides, the source of sulfur is anthropogenic activities (Human activities).

So the given statement is false.

b) A flue gas scrubber removes SO2 pollution in a coal-fired power plant by using lime to convert the SO2 into alcohols:

False

The lime reacts with sulfur dioxide to give carbon dioxide and calcium sulfite.

CaCO_{3}+SO_{2}--->CaSO_{3}+CO_{2}

c) True

c)

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 3kg of iron from 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius
Yuri [45]

Answer:

6750 J

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of iron is 450 J/kg/K

Quantity of heat = mcθ; where m is the mass and c is the specific heat capacity and θ is the temperature change.

Therefore;

m = 3 kg, c = 450 J/kg/K and θ = 5°C

Quantity of heat = 3 × 450 × 5

                           <u>= 6150 Joules</u>

What circulation of water is in the water cycle
V125BC [204]
Water Cycle

Earth is a truly unique in its abundance of water. Water is necessary to sustaining life on Earth, and helps tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated system. Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle - a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds. This cycling of water is intimately linked with energy exchanges among the atmosphere, ocean, and land that determine the Earth's climate and cause much of natural climate variability. The impacts of climate change and variability on the quality of human life occur primarily through changes in the water cycle. As stated in the National Research Council's report on Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1999): "Water is at the heart of both the causes and effects of climate change."

Importance of the ocean in the water cycle

The ocean plays a key role in this vital cycle of water. The ocean holds 97% of the total water on the planet; 78% of global precipitation occurs over the ocean, and it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. Besides affecting the amount of atmospheric water vapor and hence rainfall, evaporation from the sea surface is important in the movement of heat in the climate system. Water evaporates from the surface of the ocean, mostly in warm, cloud-free subtropical seas. This cools the surface of the ocean, and the large amount of heat absorbed the ocean partially buffers the greenhouse effect from increasing carbon dioxide and other gases. Water vapor carried by the atmosphere condenses as clouds and falls as rain, mostly in the ITCZ, far from where it evaporated, Condensing water vapor releases latent heat and this drives much of the the atmospheric circulation in the tropics. This latent heat release is an important part of the Earth’s heat balance, and it couples the planet’s energy and water cycles.

The major physical components of the global water cycle include the evaporation from the ocean and land surfaces, the transport of water vapor by the atmosphere, precipitation onto the ocean and land surfaces, the net atmospheric transport of water from land areas to ocean, and the return flow of fresh water from the land back into the ocean. The additional components of oceanic water transport are few, including the mixing of fresh water through the oceanic boundary layer, transport by ocean currents, and sea ice processes. On land the situation is considerably more complex, and includes the deposition of rain and snow on land; water flow in runoff; infiltration of water into the soil and groundwater; storage of water in soil, lakes and streams, and groundwater; polar and glacial ice; and use of water in vegetation and human activities. Illustration of the water cycle showing the ocean, land, mountains, and rivers returning to the ocean. Processes labeled include: precipitation, condensation, evaporation, evaportranspiration (from tree into atmosphere), radiative exchange, surface runoff, ground water and stream flow, infiltration, percolation and soil moisture.
