The right answer is Sillicon.

Silicon (Si) is the chemical element of atomic number 14. It is the most abundant element in the earth's crust after oxygen, or 25.7% of its mass, but it is comparatively only present in relatively small quantities in the material constituting the living.

It is a semi-metal, ie it does not meet all the criteria to be defined as being a metal.

It has four free electrons in the last orbit, so it is able to form four covalent bonds. (the carbon can form 4 covalent bonds but it is not a semi-metal)

Assume that your empty crucible weighs 15.98 g, and the crucible plus the sodium bicarbonate sample weighs 18.56 g. After the fi

Savatey [412]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Assume that your empty crucible weighs 15.98 g, and the crucible plus the sodium bicarbonate sample weighs 18.56 g. After the first heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.51 g. After the second heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.50 g.

What is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the experimental yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the percent yield for sodium carbonate?

Which errors could cause your percent yield to be falsely high, or even over 100%?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We have to note that water is driven away after the second heating hence we are concerned with the weight of the pure dry product.

Hence;

From the reaction;

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of moles of sodium bicarbonate = 18.56 - 15.98 = 2.58 g/87 g/mol

= 0.0297 moles

2 moles of sodium bicarbonate yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0297 moles of 0.015 moles sodium bicarbonate yields 0.0297 * 1/2 = 0.015 moles

Theoretical yield of sodium carbonate = 0.015 moles * 106 g/mol = 1.59 g

Experimental yield of sodium bicarbonate = 17.50 g - 15.98 g = 1.52 g

% yield = experimental yield/Theoretical yield * 100

% yield = 1.52/1.59 * 100

% yield = 96%

The percent yield may exceed 100% if the water and CO2 are not removed from the system by heating the solid product to a constant mass.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g

Serga [27]

Answer: The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For FeO:

Given mass of FeO = 125 g

Molar mass of FeO = 71.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of FeO}=\frac{125g}{71.8g/mol}=1.74mol$

For aluminium:

Given mass of aluminium = 25.0 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.93mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3FeO+2Al\rightarrow 3Fe+Al_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 mole of FeO

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395mol$ of FeO

As, given amount of FeO is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal produces 3 mole of iron metal

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395moles$ of iron metal

Now, calculating the mass of iron metal from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Moles of iron = 1.395 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.395mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{55.85g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron}=(1.395mol\times 55.85g/mol)=77.6g$

Hence, the mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams
