Answer:

Percentage yield = 38.37%

Explanation:

2Al + 3H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

from the equation of reaction, 2 moles of Al reacts to produce 1 moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃

2 moles of Al contains = (2 × 27) = 54g of Al

1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ contains (1 × 342.15) = 342.15g of Al₂(SO₄)₃

54g of Al produces 342.15g of Al₂(SO₄)₃,

46g of Al will produce x g of Al₂(SO₄)₃

Solve for x

X = (46 × 342.15) / 54

X = 15738.9 / 54

X = 281.46g

Theoretical yield of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 281.46g

Percentage yield of a substance = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Actual yield = 108g

Theoretical yield = 281.46

% yield = (108 / 281.46) × 100

% yield = 0.3837 × 100

%yield = 38.37

The percentage yield of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is 38.37

Determine whether the following statements describe chemical or physical properties: (a) Oxygen gas supports combustion. (b) Fer
sdas [7]

Explanation:

A change that does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, mass, density, volume etc are all physical changes.

On the other hand, a change that brings change in chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical change.

For example, combustion, toxicity, reactivity etc are all chemical changes.

Hence, following statements are identified as chemical or physical changes as follows.

(a) Oxygen gas supports combustion : Chemical change

(b) Fertilizers help to increase agricultural production : Chemical change

(c) Water boils below 100^{o}C on top of a mountain : Physical change

(d) Lead is denser than aluminum : Physical change

(e) Uranium is a radioactive element : Chemical change

Fluorine has an atomic number 9. It is in period 2 of the periodic table. The diagram shows the electron dot diagram of a fluori
jek_recluse [69]

Fluorine has C seven valence electrons.

Valence electrons are the electrons that are found on the outer shell of an atom that are capable of participating in chemical reactions. The easiest way to figure out how many valance electrons Fluorine has would be to look it up in a periodic table and notice that it a group 7 element and therefore has 7 valence electrons.

The other way to tell that Fluorine has 7 valence electrons is to notice that an element with an atomic number of 9 has 9 electrons. The electronic configuration of elements has the first 2 electrons go on the first shell or energy level 1s^2 , the leaving the next 7 to go to the second shell 2s^22p^5 which can take up to 8 electrons.

This means that Fluorine has 7 seven valence electrons.
