The chemical reaction is written as:

<span>Mg + 2HNO3 = Mg(NO3)2 + H2

We use this reaction and the amounts given to calculate the theoretical yield of the reactants. Then, we can calculate for the percent yield We do as follows:

20 g Mg (1 mol / 24.31 g) ( 1 mol H2 / 1 mol Mg ) (2.02 g / 1 mol ) = 1.66 g H2 theoretical

Therefore, 

Percent yield = 1.66 / 1.7 x100 = 97.8%</span>

An automobile tire was inflated to a pressure of 24 lb in-2 (1.00 atm = 14.7 lb in-2 ) on a winter’s day when the temperature wa
const2013 [10]

Explanation:

Initial Pressure = 24 lb in-2

Initial Temperature = –5 o C = 268 K (Converting to kelvin temperature)

Final Pressure = ?

Final Temperature =  35 o C = 308 K (Converting to kelvin temperature)

No Change in Volume.

From Gay Lusaac's law; pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

P1T1 = P2T2

P2 = P1T1 / T2

P2 = 24 * 268 / 308 = 20.88 lb in-2

There would be a drop in pressure as the temperature increases. Appropriate measures should b taken by regularly gauging the pressure of the tire.

Why does a star expand into a red giant?​
devlian [24]

Answer:

"Hydrogen is still available outside the core, so hydrogen fusion continues in a shell surrounding the core. The increasingly hot core also pushes the outer layers of the star outward, causing them to expand and cool, transforming the star into a red giant."
