1.5 % is the percent yield in the reaction.

Explanation:

Given that:

original mass of the sample used in reaction = 1.897 grams

product formed after decomposition = 1.071 grams

The reaction for the decomposition:

Mg(HCO3)2 (s) ⇒ CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + MgCO2 (s)

It says that 1 mole of Mg(HCO3)2 yielded 1 mole of MgCO2 on decomposition

68.31 grams/mole or 68.31 grams of MgCO2 is formed

percent yield = $\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}$ x 100

putting the values in the equation:

percent yield = $\frac{1.071}{68.31}$

= 0.015 x100

PERCENT YIELD = 1.5 %

Answer:

1, just I) color.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance, such as color, temperature, density, and boiling point.

A physical change is a change in the substance that only modifies its aggregation state, such as solidification, and boiling.

Chemical properties are the properties that need a reaction to being observed, such as the combustibility, which needs a combustion reaction to being quantified.

When a chemical reaction occurs, and the composition of the substance change, it's a chemical change.

So, the heating copper with carbon is a chemical reaction, and purification by electrolysis is too. Color is the only physical property.

How many molecules of ammonia (NH3) are contained in 10 moles of NH3? Please provide the work if you could :)

nlexa [21]

<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

</span>10 mol NH3 ( 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 6.022x10^24 molecules NH3

Which hybrid orbitals overlap to form the sigma bonds between the indicated atoms in xanthine?

arsen [322]

The highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization. The highlighted atoms are carbon and nitrogen as shown.

The structure of Xanthine is shown in the image attached to this answer. The indicated atoms are Carbon and nitrogen as shown. Let us remember that hybridization has to do with the mixing of atomic orbitals to form appropriate hybrid orbitals that are suitable for overlap with orbitals of other atoms.

The highlighted carbon atom is sp2 hybridized because it has a carbon nitrogen double bond while the highlighted nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Therefore, the highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization.
