When 32.5g of carbon is heated with silicone dioxide, 28.8 g of carbon monoxide is produced. What is the percent yield of carbon

monoxide?

Answer:

Percent yield of carbon monoxide is approximately 38%.

Explanation:

Given reaction : C + SiO₂ → Si + CO

On balancing it : 2C + SiO₂ → Si + 2CO

⇒ 2 mole of carbon produces 2 mole of carbon monoxide

or 2×12=24 g of carbon produces 2×(12+16)=56 g of carbon monoxide

⇒ Expected yield of carbon monoxide when 32.5g of carbon is heated with silicon dioxide is 32.5×\frac{56}{24}

⇒ Expected yield = \frac{455}{6} = 75.8 g

Actual yield is given as 28.8 g

⇒ The percent yield of carbon monoxide = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Expected\ yield}×100

= \frac{28.8}{75.8}×100

≅<u>38%</u>

Describe the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
svet-max [94.6K]
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of charged particles. ... A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.

Predict the shape of the molecule.
GuDViN [60]

Number of electron pairs = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

2

1

[V+N−C+A]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

SbCl_5SbCl

5

:

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be sp^3dsp

3

B and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.

The enzyme Y catalyzes the elementary reaction
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

0.7μM = 0.6 μM = 0.5 μM > 0.4 μM > 0.3 μM > 0.2 μM

Explanation:

An enzyme solution is saturated when all the active sites of the enzyme molecule are full.  When an enzyme solution is saturated, the reaction is occurring at the maximum rate.

From the given information, an enzyme concentration of 1.0 μM Y can convert a maximum of 0.5 μM AB to the products A and B per second means that a 1.0 M Y solution is saturated when an AB concentration of 0.5 M or greater is present.

The addition of more substrate to a solution that contains the enzyme required  for its catalysis will generally increase the rate of the reaction. However, if the enzyme is saturated with substrate, the addition of more substrate will have no effect on the rate of reaction.

<em>Therefore the reaction rates at substrate concentrations of 0.7μM, 0.6 μM, and 0.5 μM are equal. But the reaction rate at substrate concentrations of  0.2 μM is lower than at 0.3 μM, 0.3 μM is lower than 0.4 μM and 0.4 μM is lower than 0.5 μM, 0.6 μM and 0.7 μM.</em>
