Answer:

Element X is Arsenic (As)

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table are either metals, non-metals or metalloids.
Metals are elements that react by losing electrons to obtain a stable configuration and form cation.
Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form a stable configuration and form anion.
Metalloids are elements in the periodic table that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
Examples of metalloids include Selenium, Arsenic, Boron, etc.
Arsenic is a metalloid in period 4 (four energy levels) with five valence electrons.

It is desired to produce 2.25 grams of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) by the following reaction. If the percent yield of dichlorometha

Allushta [10]

Answer:- 3.12 g carbon tetrachloride are needed.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$CH_4+CCl_4\rightarrow 2CH_2Cl_2$

From given actual yield and percent yield we will calculate the theoretical yield that would be further used to calculate the grams of carbon tetrachloride.

percent yield formula is:

percent yield = $(\frac{actual}{theoretical})100$

$65.5=(\frac{2.25}{theoretical})100$

$theoretical=(\frac{2.25(100)}{65.5})$

theoretical = 3.44 g

From balanced equation, there is 2:1 mol ratio between dichloethane and carbon tetrachloride.

Molar mass of dichloroethane is 84.93 gram per mol and molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is 153.82 gram per mol.

$3.44gCH_2Cl_2(\frac{1molCH_2Cl_2}{84.93gCH_2Cl_2})(\frac{1molCCl_4}{2molCH_2Cl_2})(\frac{153.82gCCl_4}{1molCCl_4})$

= $3.12gCCl_4$

So, 3.12 grams of carbon tetrachloride are needed to be reacted.

Afina-wow [57]

The independent variable is the one you change, and the dependent variable is the one that changes because the independent changed (i think). The constant variable is the thing you can't change so the experiment is fair.

Independant: whatever causes the flowers to change color
Dependent: the flowers change color
Constant: same soil type, same conditions, etc.
