Answer:

60.8%

Explanation:

We'll begin obtaining the molar mass of cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2. This can be done as shown below:

Molar mass of CoF2 = 59 + (19x2) = 97g/mol.

The percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is given by:

Mass of Co/Molar Mass of CoF2 x 100

=> 59/97 x 100 = 60.8%

Therefore, the percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is 60.8%

Se detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:

- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.

- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.

- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.

- Their electron configurations are:

$Ca^{20}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^3,3p^6,4s^2\\\\Mg^{12}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2$

It means that the both of them are at the $s$ region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.

Best regards.

Consider the following reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) A chemist allows 14.4 g of CaO

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂ → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

CO₂ : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.31 : 0.31

CaO : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.26 : 0.26

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ = 26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Consider the chemical equations shown here.

vichka [17]

P₄0₆ $_{s}$ + 20₂ $_{g}$ ⇒ P₄0₁₀ $_{s}$

Explanation:

The overall equation for the reaction that produces P₄0₁₀ is :

P₄0₆ $_{s}$ + 20₂ $_{g}$ ⇒ P₄0₁₀ $_{s}$

Now let us derive this equation:

Given equations:

P₄ $_{s}$ + 30₂ $_{g}$ ⇒ P₄0₆ $_{s}$ equation 1;

P₄ $_{s}$ + 50₂ $_{g}$ ⇒ P₄0₁₀ $_{s}$ equation 2;

To get the overall combined equation, the equation 1 must be reversed and added to equation 2:

P₄0₆ $_{s}$ ⇒ P₄ $_{s}$ + 30₂ $_{g}$ equation 3

equation 2:

P₄ $_{s}$ + 50₂ $_{g}$ + P₄0₆ $_{s}$ ⇒ P₄0₁₀ $_{s}$ + P₄ $_{s}$ + 30₂ $_{g}$

cancelling specie that appears on both sides and removing excess oxygen gas on the reactant side gives;

P₄0₆ $_{s}$ + 20₂ $_{g}$ ⇒ P₄0₁₀ $_{s}$
