Answer:

51.65%

Explanation:

Magnesium carbonate pentahydrate is MgCO_3.5H_2O

1 mole of the compound contains 5 moles of water. The water can be extracted by heating the the compound and allowing the water to condense.

MgCO_3.5H_2O --> MgCO_3 + 5H_2O

1 mole of the compound contains 5 moles of water molecule

mole = mass/molar mass

1 mole of the compound weighs: 1 x 174.3903 = 174.3903 g

5 moles of water weighs: 5 x 18.01528 = 90.0764 g

Percentage by mass of hydrate in magnesium carbonate pentahydrate

 = 90.0764/174.3903 x 100%

   = 51.65%

Calculate the amount of heat energy, in units of kilojoules, required to convert 50.0 g of liquid ethanol, CH3CH2OH, at 25.5°C t
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

42.1 kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar heat of vaporization = 3.86×10⁴ j/mol

Mass of ethanol = 50 g

Amount of heat required to convert into gaseous form = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of ethanol.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 50.0 g/ 46.07 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.09 mol

H(vap) = number of moles × molar heat of vaporization

H(vap) =  1.09 mol × 3.86×10⁴ j/mol

H(vap) = 4.21×10⁴ j

In Kj:

4.21×10⁴ / 1000 = 42.1 kj

To which orbitals may 5d electrons make spectroscopic transitions in a hydrogenic atom?
12345 [234]

Answer:

A. np and nf

Explanation:

The electron distribution into energy levels or sublevels of atoms can be shown in their sublevel notations. This shows the sequence of filling electrons into the orbitals of the sublevels as guided by some principles such as the Aufbau Principle, Pauli Exclusion Principle, Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity e.t.c

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are two for s-sublevel(one orbital), six for p-level (three orbitals), ten for d-sublevel (five orbitals), and fourteen for f-sublevel (seven orbitals). This explains that the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two.

What volume of Co2 (carbon (iv) oxide)
hram777 [196]

Answer:

2.1056L or 2105.6mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 10g of Na2CO3. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = (23x2) + 12 + (16x3) = 106g/mol

Mass of Na2CO3 = 10g

Mole of Na2CO3 =.?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of Na2CO3 = 10/106

Mole of Na2CO3 = 0.094 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole CO2 produced by the reaction of 0.094 mole of Na2CO3. This is illustrated below:

Na2CO3 + 2HCl —> 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacted to produce 1 mole of CO2.

Therefore, 0.094 mole of Na2CO3 will also react to 0.094 mole of CO2.

Next, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.094 mole of CO2 at STP. This is illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at STP. This implies that 1 mole CO2 occupies 22.4L at STP.

Now, if 1 mole of CO2 occupy 22.4L at STP, then, 0.094 mole of CO2 will occupy = 0.094 x 22.4 = 2.1056L

Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is 2.1056L or 2105.6mL

when 42.66 grams of PCl5 react with excess P4O10 the amount of product formed is 47.22 grams of POCl3. What is the percent yield
icang [17]

Percent yield or yield is mathematically defined as:

Yield = Actual amount / Theoretical amount

So to solve the yield, let us first calculate the theoretical amount of POCl3 produced. The balanced chemical reaction for this is:

6 PCl5 + P4O10  --->  10 POCl3

Since P4O10 is stated to be supplied in large amount, then PCl5 becomes the limiting reactant.

So we calculate for POCl3 based on PCl5. To do this let us convert the amount into moles: (molar mass PCl5 = 208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 42.66 grams / (208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 0.205 mol

 

Now based on the stoichiometric ratio of the reaction:

<span>n POCl3 = 0.205 mol (10 POCl3 / 6 PCl5)
n POCl3 = 0.3414 mol POCl3</span>

Converting to mass (molar mass POCl3 = 153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 0.3414 mol (153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 52.35 g

 

Calculating for yield:

Yield = 47.22 g/ 52.35 g

Yield = 0.902

<span>%Yield = 90.2 %                      (ANSWER)</span>
