Answer:

Theoretical yield of SO₂ is 1.56 × 10² g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NiS₂ = 1.50 ×10² g

Mass of O₂ = 2.420 ×10² g

Theoretical yield of SO₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NiS₂ + 5O₂ → 2NiO + 4SO₂

Moles of NiS₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 1.50 ×10² g / 122.83 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.22 mol

Moles of O₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.420 ×10² g / 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 7.56 mol

Now we compare the moles of SO₂ with  NiS₂ and O₂.

                  NiS₂            :      SO₂

                    2                :        4

                   1.22             :       4/2×1.22 = 2.44

                    O₂               :          SO₂

                     5                :           4

                     7.56           :           4/5×7.56 =6.05

Moles of SO₂ produced by NiS₂ are less it will limiting reactant.

Mass of SO₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of SO₂ = 2.44 mol ×  64.07 g/mol

Mass of SO₂ = 156.33 g

So theoretical yield of SO₂ is 1.56 × 10² g

When this reaction in equilibrium is heated, a red/brown color persists. what is true about this reaction? 2no2(
dimulka [17.4K]
NO₂ is a brown gas while N₂O₄ is colorless. If heating causes a brown color to persist, then this means that heating causes the reaction to shift backwards and produce NO₂. Therefore, the reaction must be exothermic.

What is the molarity of the solution produced when 8.0g NaOH is dissolved in sufficient water to prepare 500.mL of solution?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.4M

Explanation:

Molar mass of NaOH (M)= 40

m= 8g, V= 500ml=0.5L

n= m/M=[8/40]= 0.2mol

Applying

n= CV

0.2= C×0.5

C= 0.4M

What type of molecule is shown below
Kobotan [32]

Answer is: C alkane.

Name of this molecule is n-hexane.

Hexane is alkane (acyclic saturated hydrocarbon, carbon-carbon bonds are single) of six carbon atoms.

Carbon atoms in hexane have sp3 hybridization.

In sp3 hybridization hybridize one s-orbital and three p-orbitals of carbon atom.

Alkene has one double bond and alkyne has one triple bond.

A 5-kg quantity of radioactive isotope decays to 2 kg after 10 years. Find the decay constant of the isotope.k = _____
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)

Explanation:

The exponential decay model of a radioactive isotope is generally given as;

A(t) = A_o(e^(kt))

Where;

A_o is quantity of isotope before decay, k is decay constant and A(t) is quantity after t years

We are given;

A_o = 5 kg

A(10) = 2kg

t = 10 years

Thus;

A(10) = 2 = 5(e^(10k))

Thus;

2 = 5(e^(10k))

2/5 = (e^(10k))

0.4 = (e^(10k))

In 0.4 = 10k

-0.9164 = 10k

k = -0.9164/10

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)
