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%.

Phthalates, BPA, PFOA, and Atrazine are chemicals that don't degrade rapidly, and they are readily taken up by cells in the body

Answer:

Endocrine disruptor

Explanation:

This means that the four substances, even they are used in different areas like gardening, plastics or pots, all of them change the endocrine system in humans because they imitate the natural hormones and the body stops to produce them or starts to produce more hormones than the body needs.

They are correlate with some illness like cancer, thyroid problems and infertility.

When balancing a chemical equation, what are the large numbers that we adjust?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).

To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.

For example, in this skeleton equation:

H₂ + Cl₂     =>       HCl

Reactants:          Products:

2 hydrogen         1 hydrogen

2 chlorine            1 chlorine

Write the coefficient 2 in the products.

H₂ + Cl₂     =>       2HCl

Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.
