Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Since the element reacts with oxygen to form an oxide with the formula MO, the charge on the element is +2.

Also, since the oxide MO when dissolved in water is basic, the metal is an alkali earth metal.

From the above conditions;

The metal is not arsenic because arsenic is a metalloid has the  following oxides As₂O₃ and As₃O₅ and are respectively amphoteric and acidic in nature

The metal is not germanium because is a metalloid and even though germanium oxide has the formula GeO₂, it is amphoteric.

The metal is not chlorine because chlorine is a non-metal

The metal is definitely calcium because calcium oxide has the formula CaO and calcium is an alkaline earth metal.

The metal is not selenium because selenium is anon-meal and its oxide has the formula Se0₂ and is acidic

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and
Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%

Then,

Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%

Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.

We can also perform a similar calculation for the mass defect and binding energy for nuclear reactions using the masses of the a
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

\frac{235}{92} U + \frac{1}{0} n ---->\frac{137}{52} Te + \frac{97}{40} Zr +2\frac{1}{0} n

Hence the mass defect is;

[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]

=  236.0526 - 235.85361

= 0.19899 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J

ii) \frac{10}{5}B + \frac{1}{0}n-----> \frac{7}{3} Li + \frac{4}{2} He + Energy

Hence the mass defect is;

[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]

= 11.02161 - 11.0186

= 0.00301 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J

Solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid . Express your answer as a balanced chemical equation. Id
max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

When solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid then the reaction will be as follows.

          CdS(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow CdSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)

Hence, ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

      CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)

Therefore, net ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

      CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)
