Suppose a lab group reports a percent yield of sand of 105%. Is it really possible to collect more sand than was originally pres

ent? What is a possible explanation for the “extra” product? Do not consider calculation mistakes; think about the procedure used.

The maximum percent of yield should be 100%, so It wasn't possible to make a higher than 100% yield like 105% in this problem. If that happens, it will contradict the law of conservation of energy as you can't create mass.

The increased mass might be produced by impurities. One of the examples would be if you rinse the container and left some water. The water is not calculated as a substrate but will increase the results weight. 
There also possibilities that some gas in the air react and produce a solid/liquid material. If you don't weight the gas it would seem that the mass increased.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The cooler water is denser

Explanation:

Convection drives the boiling of water placed on a stove in a kettle.

During convection, heat is circulated by density differences in portions of a fluid.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids especially gas and liquid.

  • In boiling water, the heat is supplied to the base of the stove.
  • The water at the bottom on heat becomes lighter as the molecules gain more kinetic energy.
  • The colder part of the water on top sinks to replace the less dense on below.
  • This exchange sets up convection cells in the kettle.

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^{15} g

Explanation:

Glucose reacts with oxygen do produce carbon dioxide and water:

C_6H_12O_6 (s) + 6 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6 H_2O (l)

Given a daily mass of glucose:

m_1 = 5.0\cdot 10^2 g

Find moles of glucose:

n_1 = {5.0\cdot 10^2 g}{180.156 g/mol} = 2.775 mol

From stoichiometry of this equation, moles of carbon dioxide can be found by multiplying this amount by 6:

n_2 = 2.775 mol\cdot 6=16.65 mol

Convert this into mass using the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

m_2 = 16.65 mol\cdot 44.01 g/mol = 732.8 g

This is the mass of carbon dioxide per person per day. Multiply by the population and by the number of days to get the total mass:

732.8 \frac{g}{person\cdot day}\cdot 365 days\cdot 6.5\cdot 10^9 people = 1.7\cdot 10^{15} g
