Oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions like this: 2H2(g) + O2(g) ⇒ 2H2O(l) will occur spontaneously. To make the reaction proceed

in the reverse direction, you must put energy (electricity) into reaction. This is called

A volume of 129 mL of hydrogen is collected over water. The water level in the collecting vessel is the same as the outside leve

mixas84 [53]

Explanation:

As it is given that water level is same as outside which means that theoretically, P = 756.0 torr.

So, using ideal gas equation we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

PV = nRT

or, n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $\frac{\frac{756}{760}atm \times 0.129 L}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 298 K}$

= 0.0052 mol

Also, No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

0.0052 mol = $\frac{mass}{2 g/mol}$

mass = 0.0104 g

As some of the water over which the hydrogen gas has been collected is present in the form of water vapor. Therefore, at $25^{o}C$

$P_{\text{water vapor}}$ = 24 mm Hg

= $\frac{24}{760}$ atm

= 0.03158 atm

Now, P = $\frac{756}{760} - 0.03158$

= 0.963 atm

Hence, n = $\frac{0.963 atm \times 0.129 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 298 K}$

= 0.0056 mol

So, mass of $H_{2}$ = 0.0056 mol × 2

= 0.01013 g (actual yield)

Therefore, calculate the percentage yield as follows.

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}} \times 100$

= $\frac{0.01013 g}{0.0104 g} \times 100$

= 97.49%

Thus, we can conclude that the percent yield of hydrogen for the given reaction is 97.49%.

Write the symbols for the following isotopes: Its atoms contain 50 electrons and 70 neutrons

Veronika [31]

Since this element has 50 electrons you know that it has 50 protons. The number of proton= the atomic number. Atomic number 50 is tin. The atomic symbol for tin is Sn and the weight is 120. So this is the tin 120 isotope
