The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.</span>

<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g x 100</span>

Percent yield = 67.58%

Increasing the temperature of gas in a container that cannot expand is a way to _______. decrease the volume of the gas decrease

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Increase the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

According to the Pressure law, for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).

From the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of particles which are in constant motion, colliding with themselves as well as with the walls of their container.

When the temperature of these gas molecules is increased, the molecules acquire more kinetic energy and the rate of collisions increases. Since the container cannot expand, the increase in pressure is due to the increase in collisions between the molecules of the gas as well as with the walls of their container.

Electrons must be able to flow through a material in order for the material to conduct

djverab [1.8K]

The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.

<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>

Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.

Consider the following reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) A chemist allows 14.4 g of CaO

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂ → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

CO₂ : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.31 : 0.31

CaO : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.26 : 0.26

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ = 26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.
