It's a 50\50% but I am going to say true because of hydroelectric power

This is true because the water would have gravitational potential energy that is caused by the water being held back by the dam and the water wanting to flow down.

This can be converted into kinetic energy when given the chance to, such as having a turbine on the dam.

Hope this helps! :)

How many moles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) can be produced from 12.8 moles of oxygen gas (02)

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Theoretical Yield

Percent yield

Example stoichiometry problem

How much oxygen can be prepared from 12.25 g KClO3 . (Use molar mass KClO3 = 122.5 g.)

Most stoichiometry problems can be solved using the following steps.

Step 1.

Write and balance the equation for the decomposition of KClO3 with heat (∆). 2KClO3 + ∆ → 2KCl + 3O2

Step 2.

Convert what you have (in this case g KClO3) to moles.

# moles = grams/molar mass = 12.25 g /122.5 = 0.100 mole KClO3.

Step 3.

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert moles of what you have (moles KClO3) to moles of what you want (in this case moles oxygen).

0.100 mol KClO3 x (3 moles O2/2 moles KClO3) = 0.100 x (3/2) = 0.150 mole O2.

Step 4.

Convert moles from step 3 to grams.

moles x molar mass = grams

0.150 mole O2 x (32.0 g O2/mole O2) = 4.80 g O2 produced from 12.25 g KClO3. This is the theoretical yield. If the ACTUAL yield is 4.20 grams, calculate percent yield. Percent yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100 = (4.20/4.80) x 100 = 87.5% yield

NOTE: In step 1, moles can be obtained other ways; in step 4 moles can be converted to other units.

a. For solutions, M x L = moles (or mL x M = millimoles).

b. For gases, L/22.4 = moles

Name the following compound. Group of answer choices 2-methyl-4-pentyne 4-methyl-3-propyl-1-pentyne 3-isopropyl-1-hexyne 1-nonyn

Fynjy0 [20]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached

Answer:

3-isopropyl-1-hexyne

Explanation:

Organic compounds can be named from the structure of the compound. The name reveals the arrangement of atoms and bonds in the molecule.

If we look at the compound in the question, we will notice that the parent chain contains six carbon atoms, the triple bond is located at position 1 and the isopropyl substituent is attached to carbon 3.

Hence the proper name of the compound becomes, 3-isopropyl-1-hexyne.
