Where does most of the mass of the universe come from? In ordinary matter, most of the mass is contained in atoms, and the majority of the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus, made of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are each made of three quarks.

How are elements similar to those in the same group on the periodic table

enot [183]

Answer:

All the members of a group of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior.

Answer:

The Earth's surface is constantly changing through forces in nature. The daily processes of precipitation, wind and land movement result in changes to landforms over a long period of time. Driving forces include erosion, volcanoes and earthquakes. People also contribute to changes in the appearance of land.

Glucose (C6H12O6) can be fermented to yield ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2). C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2 The molar mass o

jekas [21]

Answer:

The % yield is 74.45 %

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2

Step 2: Data given

Molar mass glucose = 180.15 g/mol

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 61.5 grams

Mass of ethanol = 23.4 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles of glucose

Moles glucose = Mass glucose / Molar mass of glucose

Moles glucose = 61.5 grams / 180.15 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of ethanol

1 mole of glucose consumed, produces 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of CO2

0.341 moles of glucose, will produce 2*0.341 = 0.682 moles of ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass of ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * Molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.682 moles * 46.08 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 31.43 grams = theoretical mass

Step 6: Calculate % yield

% yield = actual mass / theoretical mass

% yield = (23.4 grams / 31.43 grams) * 100%

% yield = 74.45 %

The % yield is 74.45 %
