Paige heated 3.00 g mercury (II) oxide (HgO, 216.59 g/mol) to form mercury (Hg, 200.59 g/mol) and oxygen (O2, 32.00 g/mol). She

collected 0.195 g oxygen. What was the percent yield of oxygen?

the balanced chemical equation for decomposition of HgO is as follows

2HgO --> 2Hg + O₂

stoichiometry of HgO to O₂ is 2:1

number of HgO moles heated are - 3.00 g / 216.59 g/mol = 0.0139 mol

according to stoichiometry of reaction -

number of O₂ moles formed = 0.0139 mol/ 2 = 0.00695 mol

mass of O₂ to be formed - 0.00695 mol x 32.00 g/mol = 0.2224 g

but the actual yield = 0.195 g

percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100 %

percent yield = 0.195 g / 0.2224 g x 100 % = 87.7 %

answer is 87.7 %

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

KClO3 + H2SO4 ⇒ HClO4 + ClO2 + K2SO4 + H2O<br><br> is there a way to balance this?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

6KClO3 + 3H2SO4 → 2HClO4 + 4ClO2 + 3K2SO4 + 2H2O

Explanation:

It's a bit long because you will keep changing the coefficient to match both side.
