Answer:

  • <u>79%</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Balanced chemical equation:</u>

  • 2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

<u>2) Mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol S : 3 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO₃

<u>3) Limiting reactant:</u>

  • Number of moles of O₂

        n = 6.0 g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O₂

  • Number of moles of S:

         n = 7.0 g / 32.065 g/mol = 0.2183 mol S

  • Ratios:

        Actual ratio: 0.1875 mol O₂ / 0.2183 mol S =0.859

        Theoretical ratio: 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol S = 1.5

Since there is a smaller proportion of O₂ (0.859) than the theoretical ratio (1.5), O₂ will be used before all S be consumed, and O₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>4) Calcuate theoretical yield (using the limiting reactant):</u>

  • 0.1875 mol O₂ / x = 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol SO₃

  • x = 0.1875 × 2 / 3 mol SO₃ =  0.125 mol SO₃

<u>5) Yield in grams:</u>

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass = 0.125 mol × 80.06 g/mol =  10.0 g

<u>6) </u><em><u>Percent yield:</u></em>

  • Percent yield, % = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100
  • % = (7.9 g / 10.0 g) × 100 = 79%

The reaction uses B) 9.0 g Br₂.

 iron + bromine ⟶ product

2.0 g +     <em>x</em> g     ⟶   11.0 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.

∴2.0 + <em>x</em> = 11.0

<em>x</em> = 11.0 – 2.0 = 9.0

The reaction uses 9.0 g Br₂.

When 55.0 grams of metal at 75.0°C is added to 100. grams of water at 15.0°C, the temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C. Assu
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0,50 J/gºC

Explanation:

Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings

(Q = m . C . ΔT)metal + (Q = m . C . ΔT)water = 0

Let's replace our values.

55g . C . (18,7ºC - 75ºC) + 100g . 4,184 J/g·°C . (18,7ºC - 15ºC) = 0

55g . C . -56,3 ºC + 418,4J/·°C . 3,7ºC = 0

-3096,5 gºC . C + 1548,08 J = 0

1548,08 J = 3096,5 gºC . C

1548,08 J / 3096,5 gºC  = C = 0,50 J/gºC

What is a problem that would likely occur if two cultures had different calenderars
aksik [14]
The Sun, Moon, and stars have helped people for thousands of years. When you look into the sky, you will notice that they follow certain patterns. This happens most of the time, but not all of the time. Since most patterns repeat over and over, they have helped us keep track of time. These patterns have also helped us make calendars. Making calendars was a difficult task. Our ancestors had to decide on the length of a year. Also, they had to decide on the length of a day. As you know a day takes 24 hours. That is the time that Earth takes to rotate once on its axis. A year is longer and takes 365 days. This length of time is related to the time that it takes for Earth to go around the Sun. However, this is not exactly true. Earth’s trip takes 365 days – plus a fraction of another day. This is what complicates our calendar. We have been able to solve this problem by adding an extra day in the month of February. Most often, you will see that February has 28 days. Every four years, February has one extra day. During this year we end up with 29 days in this month. When this happens, the year is called a Leap Year. It helps us keep our calendar in order. Deciding on the length of a month has also been a challenge. Some cultures around the world have used a lunar calendar. A lunar calendar is based on the Moon’s cycle. The Moon takes 29 and one-half days to complete one cycle. Then things got a lot harder. Different cultures start their months at a different time of the Moon’s cycle. For example, the Hebrew and Islamic calendars start their months when a crescent moon is seen in the sky. The Chinese start their new months at the new moon phase. These differences have made it harder for cultures to communicate. Trading with one another has also been hard for this reason. As time went by, most countries began to use the same calendar. When this happened in the twentieth century, trade and communication became a lot easier. Some countries decided to drop thirteen days from their calendar. This is because their old way of counting did not match up with the new way. England had problems with the calendar back in the 1500s. The English decided to divide their calendar into months. Each month had four weeks. By doing this, one week ended up being longer than seven days. Also, this resulted in thirteen months to a yea
