Answer:

The answer to your question is 92.7%

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reaction

                             3 Zn  + Fe₂(SO₄)₃   ⇒   2Fe   +   3ZnSO₄

Molecular weight

Zinc = 65.4 x 3 = 196.2g

Iron (III) = 56 x 2 = 112 g

Proportions  

                           196.2 g of Zinc ------------------ 112 g of Iron

                            20.4 g of Zinc  -----------------   x

                            x = (20.4 x 112) / 196.2

                            x = 2284.8/196.2

                            x = 11.65 g of Iron

% yield = \frac{10.8}{11.65}  x 100

% yield = 0.927 x 100

% yield = 92.7

Answer:

93.1%

Explanation:

As with all stoichometry problems, you must start by writing a balanced equation.

3 Zn (s) + Fe2O3 (s) → 2 Fe (s) + 3 ZnO (s)

Since you are given that there is 20.4g of Zinc metal as a reactant, that is your given. You will use this number to calculate your theoretical yield by using the mole ratio between Zinc and Iron.

20.4 g Zn • 1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn • 2 mol Fe/3 mol Zn • 55.85g Fe/1 mol Fe = 11.6g Fe

Therefore, your theoretical yield is 11.6g.

Now, you divide your actual yield (10.8g) by your theoretical yield (11.6g) and multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

10.8g/11.6g • 100 = 93.1%

Therefore, your percent yield is 93.1%.

The term for free electrons in metals transferring energy by colliding with other atoms or electrons is _____.
shepuryov [24]
Conduction

In metals, the electrons of each atom are delocalized, which means they are free to move about in the structure of the metal. When heat is applied at one end of the metal, the electrons there are excited and collide with surrounding particles, transferring their energy to them. This is what makes metals very good conductors of both heat and electricity.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The jewelry is 2896.54_Kg/m^3 less dense than pure silver

Explanation:

Density of jewellery = (mass of jewellery) ÷ (volume of jewellery)

=3.25g ÷ 0.428mL = 0.00325Kg÷0.000000428m^3 = 7583.46Kg/m^3

The density of silver is 10490_Kg/m^3 which is (10490 - 7583.46) 2896.54_Kg/m^3 more dense than the jewellery

The density of Silver [Ag]

The weight of Silver per cubic centimeter is 10.49 grams or the weight of silver per cubic meter is 10490 kilograms, that is the density of silver is 10490 kg/m³; at 20°C (68°F or 293.15K) at a pressure of one atmospheres.
