A substance has a sea level boiling point of 78°C. You take the substance about 3,000 meters up a mountain and heat it in a pot.

What would be the most likely boiling point for this substance at that elevation: 68°C, 78°C, 95°C, or 100°C? Explain.

Answer:

68 °C.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the altitude and the boiling point is inversely proportional due to fact that the higher the altitude the lower the atmospheric pressure and therefore the lower the boiling point (temperature) and the lower the altitude the higher the atmospheric pressure and therefore the higher the boiling point. This is supported by the fact that at lower atmospheric pressures, more liquid molecules are likely to become gas since a weaker force is holding them together in liquid state and the other way around.

Therefore, the most likely boiling point at 3,000 m up a mountain will be below 78 °C, it means 68 °C.

Best regards.

How do you balance the equation in number one?

____NaNO3 + ___PbO --> ___Pb(NO3)2 + ___Na[2]O

To balace the eqaution, you need to have the same number of atoms for each element on both the reactant (left) and product (right) side. 

To start off, you wanna know the number of atoms in each element on both sides, so take it apart:

[reactants]        [product]
Na- 1               Na- 2

N- 1               N- 2(it's 2 because the the subscript [2] is outside of the parenthesis)

O- 4              O- 7 (same reason as above) 

Pb- 1            Pb- 1 

Na is not balanced out, so add a coefficient to make it the same on both sides.In this case, multiply by 2: 

2NaNO3

Now Na is balanced, but the N and O are also effected by this, so they also have to be multiplied by 2 and they become: 

Na- 2             Na- 2 

N- 2              N- 2 (it balanced out) 

O- 7 (coefficient times subscript, plus lone O)  O- 7 (balanced out) 

Pb was already balanced so no need to mess with it, just put a 1 where needed (it doesn't change anything). 

Now to put it back together, it will look like this: 

2NaNO3 + 1PbO --> 1Pb(NO3)2 + 1Na[2]O

During an investigation, a student burns magnesium to form magnesium oxide. The starting mass of magnesium is measured as 21.3 g
enot [183]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 21.3 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol

Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.

                 Mg           :               MgO

                 2               :               2

                0.88             :             0.88

Mass of MgO:           

Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass

Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol

Mass of MgO =  35.46 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100

Percentage yield = 85.2%
