Answer:

The percentage yield of O2 is 66.7%

Explanation:

Reaction for decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO₃ →  2KCl  +  3O₂

The products are potassium chloride and oxygen.

Let's find out the moles of chlorate.

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

12.3 g / 123 g/mol = 0.1 mol

So ratio is 2:3, 2 moles of chlorate produce 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, 0.1 mol of chlorate may produce (0.1  .3)/ 2 = 0.15 moles

Let's convert the moles of produced oxygen, as to find out the theoretical yield.

0.15 mol . 32 g/ 1mol = 4.8 g

To calculate the percentage yield, the formula is

(Produced Yield / Theoretical yield) . 100 =

(3.2g / 4.8g) . 100 = 66.7 %

Niven wants to calculate the mass of mgo that is produced by burning of 28.0g of mg. What is the first step in nivens calculatio
babymother [125]

Answer: -

The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.

The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g

Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO

From the balanced equation we see that

2 Mg gives 2 MgO

2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.

28g of MgO gives \frac{2 x 40 gram x 28 gram }{2 x 24 gram}

= 46.66 g of MgO.

Answer:

(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate is in the attached.

(b) The carbonyl carbon have an sp² hybridization

(c) The nitrogen have an sp² hybridization?

Explanation:

(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate has the nitrogen with one lone pair and the oxygen with two lone pairs.

(b) The carbonyl carbon form double bond with the oxygen causing to form three hybrid orbitals sp².

The Nitrogen also forms a double bond with the carbon having an sp² hybridization too.
