Answer:

HCl is the limiting reactant.

20.2 grams = theoretical yield Cl2

actual yield = 16.75 grams Cl2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MnO2 = 43.5 grams

Molar mass MnO2 = 86.94 g/mol

Mass of HCl = 41.5 grams

Molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4HCl(aq)+MnO2(s)⟶MnCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)+Cl2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles MnO2 = 43.5 grams / 86.94 g/mol

Moles MnO2 =  0.500 moles

Moles HCl = 41.5 grams / 36.46 g/mol

Moles HCl = 1.14 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles HCl we need 1 mol MnO2 to produce 1 mol MnCl2, 2 moles H2O and 1 mol Cl2

HCl is the limiting reactant. I will completely be consumed (1.14 moles).

MnO2 is in excess. There will react 1.14 /4 = 0.285 moles

There will remain 0.500 - 0.285 = 0.215 moles MnO2

Step 5: Calculate moles Cl2

For 4 moles HCl we need 1 mol MnO2 to produce 1 mol MnCl2, 2 moles H2O and 1 mol Cl2

For 1.14 moles HCl we'll have 1.14/4 = 0.285 moles Cl2

Step 6: Calculate mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = moles Cl2 * molar mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = 0.285 moles * 70.9 g/mol

Mass Cl2 = 20.2 grams = theoretical yield

Step 7: Calculate actual yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) *100%

0.829 = actual yield / 20.2 grams

actual yield = 0.829 * 20.2 grams

actual yield = 16.75 grams Cl2

What is the volume occupied by 4.20 miles of oxygen gas (O2) at STP
Drupady [299]

Answer: 94.13 L

Explanation: In STP in an ideal gas there is a standard value for both temperature and pressure. At STP,pressure is equal to 1atm and the temperature at 0°C is equal to 273.15K. This problem is an ideal gas so we use PV=nRT where R is a constant R= 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K.

To find volume, derive the equation, it becomes V=nRT/P. Substitute the values. V= 4.20 mol( 0.08205L.atm/mol.K)(273.15K) / 1 atm = 94.13 L. The mole units, atm and K will be cancelled out and L will be the remaining unit which is for volume.

7. A species is _ when its population has become so low that it is close to becoming extinct
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).

Some oxides are given below. (i)Na2O (ii)NO2 (iii) CO2 (iv) MgO a) Which are the basic oxides among these? b) What is the name o
umka2103 [35]
<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Basic oxides ⇒ metal(usually alkali/alkaline earth) +O₂

L + O₂ ⇒ L₂O

L + O₂ ⇒ LO

Dissolve in water becomes = basic solution

L₂O+H₂O⇒ 2LOH

LO + H₂O⇒ L(OH)₂

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O⇒NaOH

MgO +H₂O⇒Mg(OH)₂

The aqueous solution of CO₂(dissolve in water)

CO₂ + +H₂O⇒ H₂CO₃(carbonic acid)
