we find the number of moles with the formula
pV=nRT
27C=300k
3.2*30=n*0.082*300
n=96/24.6=3.9 moles
we have the mass ant the number of moles so we can calculate the molar mass
283.3/3.9=72.64g/moles
that means X's mass is 72.64/2=36.3 so the element is Kr(Kriptonium)
Answer:
baking the dough to form the crust
Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
The Actual Yield is given in the question as 21.2 g of NaCl. However, in order to find the theoretical yield, you have to write a balanced equation and use the mole ratio to calculate the mass of NaCl that would be produced.
Balanced Equation: CuCl + NaNO₃ → NaCl + CuNO₃
Moles of CuCl = Mass of CuCl ÷ Molar Mass of CuCl
= 31.0 g ÷ (63.5 + 35.5)g/mol
= 0.31 mol
the mole ratio of CuCl to NaCl is 1 : 1,
∴ if moles of CuCl = 0.31 mol,
then moles of NaCl = 0.31 mol
Now, Mass of NaCl = Moles of NaCl × Molar Mass of NaCl
= 0.31 mol × (23 + 35.5) g/mol
= 18.32 g
⇒ the THEORETICAL Yield of NaCl, in this case, is 18.32 g.
Now, since Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
⇒ Percentage Yield of NaCl = (21.2g ÷ 18.32g) × 100
= 115.7 %
NOTE: Typically, the percentage yield of a reaction is less than 100%, however in a case where the mass of the substance is weighed with impurities, then that mass may be in excess of 100% as seen here.
Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.
Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.
The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
