When 12.71 g of copper react with 8.000 g of sulfur, 14.72 g of copper(I) sulphide is produced. What is the percentage yield in
Citrus2011 [14]
2Cu + S = Cu₂S

n(Cu)=m(Cu)/M(Cu)
n(Cu)=12.71/63.55=0.2 mol

n(S)=m(s)/M(S)
n(S)=8.000/32.01=0.25 mol

Cu:S  2:1  
0.2 mol : 0.25 mol copper deficiency, sulphur in excess

theoretical mass of copper (I) sulfide 
m(Cu₂S)=M(Cu₂S)n(Cu)/2

the percentage yield in the reaction is
w=m'(Cu₂S)/m(Cu₂S)=2m'(Cu₂S)/M(Cu₂S)n(Cu)
w=2*14.72/(159.16*0.2)=0.925 (92.5%)

(20 Pt.s) Guys! You have to explain:
Nadya [2.5K]

Weakly basic drugs behaves different from acidic drugs which is discussed below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Weakly basic drugs are those drugs which have an amine group associated with them. They are able to gain a proton to be come positively charged.

So drugs like quinine, ephedrine and aminopyrine which are basic got completely ionised in stomach.

The stomach can absorb those compounds which are lipid soluble. The acidic drugs like alcohols, Salicylic acid, aspirin, thiopental, secobarbital and antipyrine etc which are acidic gets absorbed by means of <em>diffusion</em> through the membrane.

But the basic drugs have charges on them which makes them lipophobic. So they cannot get absorbed through stomach. However weakly basic drugs sometimes get absorbed depending on their ionisation extent.

The rest goes to small intestine which has basic environment and there they gets absorbed via diffusion or facilitated diffusion.

when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.
