During an investigation, a student burns magnesium to form magnesium oxide. The starting mass of magnesium is measured as 21.3 g

.
2Mg( s)+02( 8) - 2MgO( s)
If the student recovers 30.2 g of magnesium oxide, what is the percent yield? (atomic mass of magnesium = 24.3 amu)

Answer:

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 21.3 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol

Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.

                 Mg           :               MgO

                 2               :               2

                0.88             :             0.88

Mass of MgO:           

Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass

Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol

Mass of MgO =  35.46 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Consider the reaction of A(g) + B(g) + C(g) =&gt; D(g) for whichthe following data were obtained:
AveGali [126]

Answer:

rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]

Explanation:

When concentration of A is increased two times ,keeping other's concentration constant , rate of reaction becomes 4 times .

So rate is proportional to [A]²

When concentration of B is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant,rate of reaction becomes 4 times.

So rate is proportional to [B]²

When concentration of C is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant, rate of reaction becomes 2 times.

So rate is proportional to [C]

So rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]

Please I don’t get this at all someone help

I think it’s 7.41 because you count up all the atoms and find out how many are x (the large grey ones) and you do 2/27 x 100 which gives you 7.41 :) (sorry if i counted wrong it’s kinda hard)
