Answer:

Remaining the same

Explanation:

By the Lavoisier's principle the matter can't be created nor destroyed, but always transformed.

It means that in an ecosystem, the matter, and also the energy, is not increasing and not decreasing, the total amount remains the same, but in different forms.

Chromium(III) oxide can be prepared by heating chromium(IV) oxide in vacuo at high temperature: 4Cr02 —2Cr2O3 +02 The reaction o

kkurt [141]

Answer: The theoretical yield and percent yield of chromium (III) oxide is 434.72 grams and 92.6 % respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of $CrO_2$ = 480.1 g

Molar mass of $CrO_2$ = 84 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }CrO_2=\frac{480.1g}{84g/mol}=5.72mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$4CrO_2\rightarrow 2Cr_2O_3+O_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of $CrO_2$ produces 2 moles of chromium (III) oxide

So, 5.72 moles of $CrO_2$ will produce = $\frac{2}{4}\times 5.72=2.86mol$ of chromium (III) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of chromium (III) oxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of chromium (III) oxide = 152 g/mol

Moles of chromium (III) oxide = 2.86 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.86mol=\frac{\text{Mass of chromium (III) oxide}}{152g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of chromium (III) oxide}=(2.86mol\times 152g/mol)=434.72g$

To calculate the percentage yield of chromium (III) oxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of chromium (III) oxide = 402.4 g

Theoretical yield of chromium (III) oxide = 434.72 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of chromium (III) oxide}=\frac{402.4g}{434.72g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of chromium (III) oxide}=\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield and percent yield of chromium (III) oxide is 434.72 grams and 92.6 % respectively.

10. Which of the following best describes the reaction 2VO3– (aq) + Zn (s) + 8H+ (aq) → 2VO2 (aq) + Zn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l)? ______

Oduvanchick [21]

Correct answer is option E. It is a redox reaction in which Zn is oxidized at the anode, and V is reduced at the cathode.

Reason:
In above reaction, the oxidation state of VO3- is +5, while that of VO2 is +4. Thus there is reduction of V from +5 to +4
In case of Zn, oxidation state of Zn is increased from 0 to +2, Thus process is referred as oxidation.

statuscvo [17]

Answer: ³²P

Explanation:

The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.

Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.
