Percent yield describes the amount of product produced in a reaction relative of the amount of reactant you started with. In this question, you begin with 8.74 grams of HgO, and dividing this by it’s formula mass of 216.58g (200.59 for Mercury and 15.99 for Oxygen), we find that this amount of HgO is 0.0404 moles.

You end with 6.42 grams of Hg, or 0.032 moles, when divided by its formula weight of 200.59g.

The percent yield is calculated by dividing the number of moles of product by the number of moles of reactant and multiplying by 100, so the percent yield is:

0.032/0.0404 = 0.792 x 100 = 79.2%.

The reaction proceeds at 79.2% efficiency.

What is the application of the emission spectra regarding elements?

malfutka [58]

The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to an atom or molecule making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the energy difference between the two states. There are many possible electron transitions for each atom, and each transition has a specific energy difference. This collection of different transitions, leading to different radiated wavelengths, make up an emission spectrum. Each element's emission spectrum is unique. Therefore, spectroscopy can be used to identify elements in matter of unknown composition. Similarly, the emission spectra of molecules can be used in chemical analysis of substances.

In an acid-base neutralization reaction 38.74 ml of 0.500 m potassium hydroxide reacts with 50.00 ml of sulfuric acid solution.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

0.2 M.

Explanation:

For the acid-base neutralization, we have the role:

The no. of millimoles of acid is equal to that of the base at the neutralization.

∴ (XMV) KOH = (XMV) H₂SO₄.

X is the no. of reproducible H⁺ (for acid) or OH⁻ (for base),

M is the molarity.

V is the volume.

For KOH:

X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = 38.74 mL.

For H₂SO₄:

X = 2, M = ??? M, V = 50.0 mL.

∴ M of H₂SO₄ = (XMV) KOH/(XV) H₂SO₄ = (1)(0.5 M)(38.74 mL)/(2)(50.0 mL) = 0.1937 M ≅ 0.2 M.

You have a series circuit with a current of 6 amps and three resistors on it, with resistances of 10 ohms, 5 ohms, and 6 ohms, r

Mamont248 [21]

For this problem, you first find the net resistance of the circuit which can be done by adding up the resistors since this circuit is a series. 10Ω+5Ω+6Ω=21Ω

Since we are given the current of 6A, we can use Ohm’s Law of V=IR.

V=6A*21Ω

V=126 volts
