21 pts. Sodium reacts with oxygen to produce sodium oxide as described by the balanced equation below. If 54.1g of sodium reacts

with excess oxygen gas to produce 61.8g of sodium oxide, what is the percent yield? Show all work. (hint: be sure to calculate theoretical yield first) 4Na + O2 --> 2Na2O

First, calculate the amount fo Na2O that should be produced with the given amount of sodium using proper dimensional analysis and  the balanced chemical reaction,

   theoretical amount of Na2O = (54.1 g of Na)(1 mol Na/23 g Na)(2 mos Na2O/4 mols Na)(62 g Na2O/ 1mol Na2O)
       
      theoretical amount of Na2O = 72.9 g of Na2O


Calculation of percent yield,

                % yield = (61.8 g Na2O) / (72.9 g of Na2O) x 100%
                 % yield = 84.75%

Answer: 84.75%

An atom has the following electron configuration. 1s22s22p63s23p64s? How many valence electrons does this atom have? A: 2B: 3C:
Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2

Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.

Which one of the following Acids is most likely to hurt you? Acid A: 1.0 M; Acid B: 0.0001M
vaieri [72.5K]
Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.
