Answer is: a beaker contains <span>heterogeneous mixture.

</span>

A heterogeneous mixture<span> have compounds that remain separate in the sample.</span>

Heterogeneous mixture is not uniform in composition (in this mixture different sand and small pebbles), but proportions of its components (in this mixture particles of different colors and size) vary throughout the sample.

For the reaction NH4NO3 (s) → N2O (g) + 2H2O (l), you decompose 1 mole NH4NO3 and only get 0.75 moles of N2O. The percent yield

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer to your question is False.

Explanation:

Data

1 mole of NH₄NO₃

0.75 moles of N₂O

Percent yield = 25%

Chemical reaction

NH₄NO₃ ⇒ N₂O + 2H₂O

Process

1.- Determine the theoretical yield

1 mol NH₄NO₃ ------------- 1 mol of N₂O

2.- Calculate the percent yield

Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield x 100

-Substitution

Percent yield = 0.75 / 1 x 100

-Simplification

Percent yield = 0.75 x 100

-Result

Percent yield = 75%

Conclusion

False, the actual percent yield is 75%

Aluminum chloride, AlCl3, is an inexpensive reagent used in many industrial processes. It is made by treating scrap aluminum wit

mylen [45]

Answer:

83.8%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is;

2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)

Now we have to obtain the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of AlCl3

Amount of Al = 3.11g/27 g/mol = 0.115 moles

If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of AlCl3

Then 0.115 moles of Al yields 0.115 moles of AlCl3

For Cl2

Amount of Cl2 = 5.32 g/71 g/mol= 0.075 moles

If 3 moles of Cl2 yields 2 moles of AlCl3

0.075 moles of Cl2 yields 0.075 * 2/3 = 0.05 moles of AlCl3

Hence Cl2 is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of AlCl3 = 0.05 moles of AlCl3 * 133g/mol = 6.65 g

%yield = actual yield /theoretical yield * 100

%yield = 5.57 g/6.65 g * 100

%yield = 83.8%

A sample of water vapor condenses to form liquid water. What change in water

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Condensation is the process of water vapor condensing into liquid water.

Explanation:

"Water condenses on a can of cold soda. Water vapor in the air reaches its dew point as it cools in the air around the can, forming liquid drops of water. Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor." -National Geographic"

How many milliliters of a 3.4 M NaCl solution would be needed to prepare each solution?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a. Approximately $1.3\; \rm mL$ .

b. Approximately $7.2\; \rm mL$ .

Explanation:

The unit of concentration " $\rm M$ " is equivalent to " $\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ ", which means "moles per liter."

However, the volume of both solutions were given in mililiters $\rm mL$ . Convert these volumes to liters:

$\displaystyle 45\; \rm mL = 45\; \rm mL \times \frac{1\; \rm L}{1000\; \rm mL} = 0.045\; \rm L$ .

$\displaystyle 330\; \rm mL = 330\; \rm mL \times \frac{1\; \rm L}{1000\; \rm mL} = 0.330\; \rm L$ .

In a solution of volume $V$ where the concentration of a solute is $c$ , there would be $c \cdot V$ (moles of) formula units of this solute.

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm NaCl$ formula units in each of the two solutions:

Solution in a.:

$n = c \cdot V = 0.045\; \rm L \times 0.10\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.0045\; \rm mol$ .

Solution in b.:

$n = c \cdot V = 0.330\; \rm L \times 0.074\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.02442\; \rm mol$ .

What volume of that $3.4\; \rm M$ (same as $3.4 \; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ ) $\rm NaCl$ solution would contain that many

For the solution in a.:

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n}{c} = \frac{0.0045\; \rm mol}{3.4\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}} \approx 0.0013\; \rm L$ .

Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:

$\displaystyle 0.0013\; \rm L = 0.0013\; \rm L \times \frac{1000\; \rm mL}{1\; \rm L} = 1.3\; \rm mL$ .

Similarly, for the solution in b.:

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n}{c} = \frac{0.02442\; \rm mol}{3.4\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}} \approx 0.0072\; \rm L$ .

Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:

$\displaystyle 0.0072\; \rm L = 0.0072\; \rm L \times \frac{1000\; \rm mL}{1\; \rm L} = 7.2\; \rm mL$ .

What causes a substance to be hydrophobic?

WITCHER [35]

The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.
