If objects at the same distance suddenly decreased in mass the gravitational force between them would

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Gravitational force is also decreases.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object and inversely properly to the distance between their centres. Directly means if one increases the other automatically increases or if one decreases, the other also decreases. There is a direct relationship between mass and gravitational force so if mass of the bodies decrease, the gravitational force is also decreases.

For the following reaction, 4.31 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 5.17 grams of iron(II) oxi

natka813 [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

<u>For Iron:</u>

Given mass of iron = 4.31 g

Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{4.31g}{53.85g/mol}=0.0771mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.

So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0771=0.0771mol$ of iron (ii) oxide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles

Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0771mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of iron(ii) oxide}}{71.844g/mol}=5.53g$

To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g

Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of iron (ii) oxide}=\frac{5.17g}{5.53g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of iron (ii) oxide}=93.49\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %
