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 %

zepelin [54]

The frequency of a wave represents B. the number of wave cycles that pass through a specific point within a given time.

The distance between two consecutive crests and the length of a wave are the <em>wavelength</em>.

The distance between the highest and lowest points of a wave is <em>twice the amplitude</em>.

Thermal energy is __________.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
