Answer:
329.7%
Explanation:
Percent Yield = Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield x 100%
Percent Yield = 105.5g/32 x 100% = 329.69 ≈ 329.7 %
b. Analysis. In the analysis step, you organize and interpret your data to see if they support your hypothesis.
a. Experimentation is <em>incorrect</em> because this is the step in which you do experiments to test if your prediction is accurate.
c. Conclusion is <em>incorrect</em> because a conclusion is a decision you make to accept or reject your hypothesis.
d. Hypothesis is <em>incorrect</em> because a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for why something happens.
I believe the answer is A.
The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
