Moles CO = 10.0 g / 28.01 g/mol = 0.357
the ratio between CO and CO2 is 2 : 2 ( or 1 : 1) so we would get 0.357 mole of CO2 ( 100% yield) 

mass CO2 = 0.357 mol x 44.0098 g/mol = 15.7 g ( theoretical yield) 

% yield = 12.8 x 100 / 15.7 = 81.5

Hope this helps.

Answer:

have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products

Explanation:

The basic principle in balancing a chemical equation would simply be to have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products.

A balanced chemical equation is one that has the same number of atoms of each element on the reactant and the product's side of the equation. For example, consider the equation below:

$H_2 + O_2 --> H_2O$

On the reactant's side, there are 2 atoms of H and O while there are 2 atoms of H and 1 atom of O on the product's side. This is an imbalanced equation. In order for it to be balanced, the number of atoms of H and O on the reactant side must be equal to the number of H and O on the product side as below.

$2H_2 + O_2 --> 2H_2O$

What does the 4 indicate in 1s22s22p4? 4th subshell 4 electrons 4th energy level

kupik [55]

Answer: The number 4 indicates 4 electrons.

Explanation: We are given an electronic configuration, which is:

$1s^22s^22p^4$

Here,

The letters denote the sub-shells of an element.

The numbers written before the letters which are 1, 2 and 2 represents the Principle Quantum Number and these represents the energy level of the sub-shells.
