<h3>Answer:</h3>

#a. Theoretical yield = 31.6 g

#b. Actual yield = 25.72 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between sulfur dioxide and water to form sulfurous acid is given by the equation;

SO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq)

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Mass of water that reacted is 6.94 g

#a. To get the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ we need to follow the following steps

Step 1: Calculate the moles of water

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 6.94 g

But, moles = Mass/molar mass

Moles of water = 6.94 g ÷ 18.02 g/mol

                        = 0.385 mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of H₂SO₃

From the equation, the mole ratio of water to H₂SO₃ is 1 : 1

Therefore, moles of water = moles of H₂SO₃

Hence, moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Step 3: Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃

Mass = moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of H₂SO₃ = 82.08 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol ×  82.08 g/mol

                                             = 31.60 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ is 31.6 g

<h3>#b. Calculating the actual yield</h3>

We need to calculate the actual yield

Percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Theoretical yield is 31.60 g

But; Percent yield = (Actual yield/theoretical yield)×100

Therefore;

Actual yield = Percent yield × theoretical yield)÷ 100

                   = (81.4 % × 31.6) ÷ 100

                  = 25.72 g

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 25.72 g

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY

Which can lead scientists to change a theory that has already been accepted? Check all that apply. changes to scientific laws ne
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

New experimental methods

Technological inventions

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually not based on speculation. Scientific theories must have a solid empirical basis.

However, experimental methods are limited to the caliber of equipments available at the time in which a theory is formulated. With advancing years, more technological sophistication leads to the invention of new instruments and ultimately, the development of new experimental methods.

These innovations are likely to alter existing scientific theories as new evidences emerge, hence the answer.
