Answer:

True

Explanation:

The physical changes are reversible in most cases and these changes are not the chemical changes which means that it is only the change in its state not in their nature. Just take the example of water, on cooling it becomes solid and change in color can be seen which is white in solid form and colorless in liquid form. This is also reversible and is a physical change. This means that physical changes can be identified at macroscopic level. Hence the answer is true.

What is the percent yield for carbon dioxide if 10.0 grams of carbon

ivolga24 [154]

The percent yield : 81.5%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

2CO+O₂⇒2CO₂

mol CO(MW=28,01 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{10}{28.01}=0.357$

mass CO₂ (theoretical)(MW=44,01 g/mol)

$\tt 0.357\times 44.01=15.712~g$

the percent yield :

$\tt \dfrac{12.81}{15.712}\times 100\%=81.5\%$

Answer:

strongest oxidizing agent: $X^{+}$

weakest oxidizing agent: $Y^{2+}$

strongest reducing agent: Y

weakest reducing agent: X

$X^{+}$ will oxidize Z

Explanation:

The higher the reduction potential of a species, higher will be the tendency to consume electrons from another species. Hence higher will be the oxidizing power of it's oxidized form and lower will be the reducing power of it's reduced form.

Alternatively, higher reduction potential value suggests that the oxidized form of the species acts as a stronger oxidizing agent and the reduced form of the species acts as a weaker reducing agent.

Order of reduction potential:

$E_{X^{+}\mid X}^{0}(1.52V)> E_{Z^{3+}\mid Z}^{0}(0.84V)> E_{Y^{2+}\mid Y}^{0}(-1.17V)$

So, strongest oxidizing agent: $X^{+}$

weakest oxidizing agent: $Y^{2+}$

strongest reducing agent: Y

weakest reducing agent: X

As reduction potential of the half cell $X^{+}\mid X$ is higher than the reduction potential of the half cell $Z^{3+}\mid Z$ therefore $X^{+}$ will oxidize Z into $Z^{3+}$ and itself gets converted into X.
