47% yield.  
First, let's determine how many moles of ethane was used and how many moles of CO2 produced. Start with the respective atomic weights. 
Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999  
Molar mass C2H6 = 2 * 12.0107 + 6 * 1.00794 = 30.06904 g/mol 
Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol  
Moles C2H6 = 8 g / 30.06904 g/mol = 0.266054387 mol 
Moles CO2 = 11 g / 44.0087 g/mol = 0.249950578 mol  
Looking at the balanced equation, for every 2 moles of C2H6 consumed, 4 moles of CO2 should be produced. So at 100% yield, we should have 0.266054387 / 2 * 4 = 0.532108774 moles of CO2. But we only have 0.249950578 moles, or 0.249950578 / 0.532108774 = 0.46973587 =
46.973587% of what was expected.  
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 47% yield.

Explain what it means to be considered a “renewable” energy source, and what it means to be a “non-renewable” energy source.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable

- a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used such as solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, and tidal energy.

- a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply such as coal, gas, nuclear energy, and fossil fuels.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 4.40 mol of ammonium sulfide
katrin2010 [14]
 The number  of hydrogen  atoms  that are  in 4.40  mol  of ammonium sulfide is  2.12 x10^25  atoms

      calculation
 find the number of moles  of Hydrogen  in ammonium sulfide  (NH4)2S

that is  4.40  x  number of hydrogen atoms in (NH4)2S ( 4x2= 8  atoms)

moles is  therefore=  4.40  x8= 35.2  moles

by  use of  Avogadro's law  constant

that is  1mole =  6.02 x10^23 atoms
         35.2  moles=?

by  cross multiplication
  {35.2 moles x 6.02 x10^23} /1 mole  = 2.12  x10^25  atoms

The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

                                       \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where V_{1} and V_{2} are volume of gas at T_{1} and T_{2} temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here V_{1}=158mL , T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K and V_{2}=450mL

So  T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K 

849 K = (849-273) ^{0}\textrm{C} = 576 ^{0}\textrm{C}

So final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.
