Why scientists use mass instead of weight for their measurements

1 answer:

5 0

An objects weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it. We think the weight is the same everywhere ... because we all live on the surface of the planet Earth! But in orbit it would not push on the scales at all. The scales would show 0 kg ... but themass is still 100 kg !

A sample of 53.0 of carbon dioxide was obtained by heating 1.31 g of calcium carbont. What is the percent yield for this reactio

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

92.04%

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of CO₂ obtained = 53.0 grams

Mass of calcium carbonate heated = 1.31 grams

Now,

the molar mass of the calcium carbonate = 100.08 grams

The number of moles heated in the problem = Mass / Molar mass

= (1.31 grams) / (100.08 grams/moles)

= 0.013088 moles

now,

1 mol of calcium carbonate yields 1 mol of CO₂

thus,

0.013088 moles of calcium carbonate will yield = 0.013088 mol of CO₂

now,

Theoretical mass of 0.013088 moles of CO₂ will be

= Number of moles × Molar mass of CO₂

= 0.013088 × 44 = 0.5758 grams

Thus, the percent yield for this reaction = $\frac{\textup{Actual yield}}{\textup{Theoretical yield}}\times100$

the percent yield for this reaction = $\frac{0.53}{0.5758}\times100$

the percent yield for this reaction = 92.04%
