AysviL [449]3 years ago
7 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The product participates in a side reaction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Many are times that chemical reactions do not yield a 100% of the product required.

This is attributed to a number of factors which include;

  • Presence of impurities
  • Side reactions by reactants or products
  • Reactions not attaining completion.
  • Errors during the experiment.

Percentage yield is calculated by diving the actual or experimental yield by theoretical yield and multiplying by 100.

A compound consists of 75% magnesium and 25% oxygen. Find the empirical formula.
laila [671]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

% Composition of elements:

  • Magnesium = 75%
  • Oxygen = 25%

Atomic mass of given elements:

  • Magnesium = 24 g
  • Oxygen = 16 g

Now, divide % composition by Atomic mass:

\footnotesize\implies Mg = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{75}{24}  =  \bf 3.125

\footnotesize\implies O = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{25}{16}  =  \bf 1.5625

Simplest Ratio:

\footnotesize\implies Mg  =  \dfrac{3.125}{1.5625}  = 2

\footnotesize\implies O  =  \dfrac{1.5625}{1.5625} = 1

Empirical Formula:

\footnotesize\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf Empirical \:  Formula = Mg_2O}}}

Which mass of urea CO(NH2)2 contain the same mass of nitrogen as 101.1g of potassium nitrate?
Sliva [168]
M(KNO₃)=101.1 g/mol
M(CO(NH₂)₂)=60.1 g/mol

m(N)=M(N)m(KNO₃)/M(KNO₃)

m(N)=2M(N)m(CO(NH₂)₂)/M(CO(NH₂)₂)

2m(CO(NH₂)₂)/M(CO(NH₂)₂)=m(KNO₃)/M(KNO₃)

m(CO(NH₂)₂)=M(CO(NH₂)₂)m(KNO₃)/(2M(KNO₃))

m(CO(NH₂)₂)=60.1*101.1/(2*101.1)=30.05 g

Suppose 35 mg of benzoic acid is dissolved in 7 mL of dichloromethane. The resulting organic solution is then extracted with
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Kp = 13.3

Explanation:

Partition coefficient is used to extract or purify a solute from a solvent selectively to avoid interference from other substances. The formula is:

Kp = Concentration of solute in organic solvent / Concentration of solute in H₂O

As the CH₂Cl₂ is containing 31mg, water is containing 4mg. Replacing in the formula:

Kp = (31mg/7mL) / (4mg/12mL)

<h3>Kp = 13.3</h3>
