Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

The half life of any reaction is the amount of time it takes to consume half of the starting material.

In this case, the original or starting percentage of material is 100%

100% - 50% : First Half Life

50% - 25%   : Second Half life

25% - 12.5% : Third Half life.

After three half lives have passes, the percentage of strontium-90 that remains in a sample is 12.5%

12.5% of strontium-90 would remain in a sample after three half-lives have passed. Half-life automatically means 50% of the original amount would remain.

Crystalline solids do not have a sharp melting point.<br><br> TRUE<br><br> FALSE
Ugo [173]

The statement about “Crystalline solids do not have a sharp melting point” is false. Crystalline solids are solids that have particles arranged in a regular, repeating patterns. They are held together by uniform intermolecular forces. The faces intersect at a specific angle that identifies that substance. They have distinctive internal structures that in turn lead to distinctive flat surfaces. These flat surfaces give a short rage order. When exposed to x – ray diffractometers, they exhibit a distinctive pattern used to identify the material. They give the same face when you turn a crystalline solid around

PLEASE HELP
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

C3H8 + 5O2 ----> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Number of moles of C3H8 = 132.33g/44g/mol = 3 moles

1 mole of C3H8 yields 3 moles of CO2

3 moles of C3H8 yields 3 × 3/1 = 9 moles of CO2

Number of moles of oxygen = 384.00 g/32 g/mol = 12 moles

5 moles of oxygen yields 3 moles of CO2

12 moles of oxygen yields 12 × 3/5 = 7.2 moles of CO2

Hence C3H8 is the limiting reactant.

Mass of CO2 produced = 9 moles of CO2 × 44 g/mol = 396 g of CO2

1 moles of C3H8 yields 4 moles of water

3 moles of C3H8 yields 3 × 4/1 = 12 moles of water

Mass of water = 12 moles of water × 18 g/mol = 216 g of water

b) Actual yield = 269.34 g

Theoretical yield = 396 g

% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100/1

% yield = 269.34 g /396 g × 100

% yield = 68%
