A mining company wants to build a modern processing plant that is safe for workers.

It is desired to produce 2.25 grams of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) by the following reaction. If the percent yield of dichlorometha

Allushta [10]

Answer:- 3.12 g carbon tetrachloride are needed.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$CH_4+CCl_4\rightarrow 2CH_2Cl_2$

From given actual yield and percent yield we will calculate the theoretical yield that would be further used to calculate the grams of carbon tetrachloride.

percent yield formula is:

percent yield = $(\frac{actual}{theoretical})100$

$65.5=(\frac{2.25}{theoretical})100$

$theoretical=(\frac{2.25(100)}{65.5})$

theoretical = 3.44 g

From balanced equation, there is 2:1 mol ratio between dichloethane and carbon tetrachloride.

Molar mass of dichloroethane is 84.93 gram per mol and molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is 153.82 gram per mol.

$3.44gCH_2Cl_2(\frac{1molCH_2Cl_2}{84.93gCH_2Cl_2})(\frac{1molCCl_4}{2molCH_2Cl_2})(\frac{153.82gCCl_4}{1molCCl_4})$

= $3.12gCCl_4$

So, 3.12 grams of carbon tetrachloride are needed to be reacted.

question #5: corals are sensitive to temperature . if temperatures are raised , it will cause the coral to bleach . what does bl

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

coral bleaching is when the temperature of the water changes (even slight changes in temperature effect coral) and the coral reacts negatively to it causing it to die. unfortunately corals cannot recover once they have been bleached.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

What forces hold network solids together?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Covalent solids, also called network solids, are solids that are held together by covalent bonds. As such, they need localized electrons (shared between the atoms) and therefore the atoms are arranged in fixed geometries. Distortion far from this geometry can only occur through a breaking of covalent sigma bonds.
