Answer:

$Y=50.9\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the reaction, we can directly compute the theoretically yielded grams of carbon dioxide, considering the 2:2 molar ratio between carbon monoxide (molar mass = 28 g/mol) and carbon dioxide (molar mass = 44 g/mol) and the initial reacting grams of carbon monoxide in excess oxygen:

$m_{CO_2}^{theoretical}=10gCO*\frac{1molCO}{28gCO}*\frac{2molCO_2}{2molCO}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} =15.7gCO_2$

Thus, as only 8 g were actually yielded, we compute the percent yield:

$Y=\frac{8g}{15.7g}*100\% \\\\Y=50.9\%$

Best regards.

What neutral element has the electron configuration described by the Aufbau diagram above.

devlian [24]

Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:

Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1

Number of electron = 13

Next, we shall determine the number of protons.

Since the element is in its neutral state,

The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e

Proton = Electron

Number of electron = 13

Proton = Electron = 13

Proton = 13

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 13

Atomic number = 13

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.

What would most likely happen if the moon was closer to Earth (take tides into consideration)?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Low tides would be lower and high tides would be higher and any low lying coastline would be flooded

Explanation:

Also...

If the moon got about 20 times closer it would make a gravitational force 400 times greater than what we are used to now

Explain why oil is called a fossil fuel.

Dmitrij [34]

Oil is referred to as a fossil fuel because it is derived from fossils.

Fossil fuels are the result of dinosaur remains being put under pressure for millions of years.

Explain how changing the concentration The enthalpy change for the reaction, 3CO (g) 2Fe2O3 (s) Imported Asset Fe(s) 3CO2 (g), c

ycow [4]

Answer: For the given equation, only iron has the value of $\Delta H_f$ equal to 0 kJ.

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H^o$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$3CO(g)+2Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Fe(s))})+(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})]-[(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO(g))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Fe_2O_3(s))})]$

The enthalpy of formation for the substances present in their elemental state is taken as 0.

Here, iron is present in its elemental state which is solid.

Hence, for the given equation, only iron has the value of $\Delta H_f$ equal to 0 kJ.
