Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Na = 5.0 g

Mass of Cl_2 = 10.0 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of Na and Cl_2.

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol

and,

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react with 1 mole of Cl_2

So, 0.217 moles of Na react with \frac{0.217}{2}=0.108 moles of Cl_2

From this we conclude that, Cl_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Na is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaCl

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react to give 2 mole of NaCl

So, 0.217 mole of HCl react to give 0.217 mole of NaCl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaCl

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = \frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

When the temperature of a rigid hollow sphere containing 685 L of helium gas is held at 621 K, the pressure of the gas is 1.89 x
Leno4ka [110]
You have to use the equation PV=nRT.
P=pressure (in this case 1.89x10^3 kPa which equals 18.35677 atm)
1V=volume (in this case 685L)
n=moles (in this case the unknown)
R=gas constant (0.08206 (L atm)/(mol K))
T=temperature (in this case 621 K)
with the given information you can rewrite the ideal gas law equation as n=PV/RT.
n=(18.35677atm x 685L)/(0.08206atmL/molK x 621K)
n=246.8 moles

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for Ca and Pm in noble-gas notation Ca: [Ar]4s2 [Ar]4s1 [Ar]3s2 [
sveta [45]
Answer:

1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵

Explanation:

1) Ca:

Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.

Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.

So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.

Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.

Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².

2) Pm

The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.

Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.

The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.

A substance with a pH of 10 is how much more basic than a substance with a pH of 2?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
