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.

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.

Is matter and mass always the same
Anna11 [10]
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

The atomic mass of Cu is 63.5. Find its electrochemical equivalent​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electrochemical equivalent of copper, Cu, is 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The element for which the electrochemical equivalent is sought = Copper

The atomic mass of copper = 63.5

The electrochemical equivalent, 'Z', of an element or a substance is the mass, 'm', of the element or substance deposited by one coulomb of electricity, which is equivalent to a 1 ampere current flowing for a period of 1 second

Mathematically, we have;

m = Z·I·t = Z·Q

We have;

Cu²⁺ (aq) + 2·e⁻ → Cu

Therefore, one mole of Cu, is deposited by 2 moles of electrons

The charge carried one mole of electrons = 1 Faraday = 96500 C

∴ The charge carried two moles of electrons, Q = 2 × 96500 C = 193,000 C

Given that the mass of an atom of Cu = 63.5 a.m.u., the mass of one mole of Cu, m = 63.5 g

Z = \dfrac{m}{Q} = \dfrac{63.5 \ g}{193,000 \ C} = 3.29015544 \times 10^{-4} \, g \cdot C^{-1}

∴ Z = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁴ g/C = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C

The electrochemical equivalent of copper, Cu, is Z = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C
