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%

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 2.5 grams of LiNO3 in sufficient water to make 60.0 mL of solution?​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: hope this helps

To make molar NaCl solutions of other concentrations dilute the mass of salt to 1000ml of solution as follows:

0.1M NaCl solution requires 0.1 x 58.44 g of NaCl = 5.844g.

0.5M NaCl solution requires 0.5 x 58.44 g of NaCl = 29.22g.

2M NaCl solution requires 2.0 x 58.44 g of NaCl = 116.88g.

Calculate the ph of a 0.17 m solution of c6h5nh3no3 (kb for c6h5nh2 = 3.8 x 10-10). record your ph value to 2 decimal places.
MatroZZZ [7]
<span>Mass of the solution = 0.17m
 Kb for C6H5NH2 = 3.8 x 10^-10
 We know Ka for C6H5NH2 = 1.78x10^-11
  We have Kw = Ka x Kb => Ka = Kw / Kb
  => (C2H5NH2)(H3O^+)/(C2H5NH3^+) => 1.78x10^-11 = K^2 / 0.17
 K^2 = 3 x 10^-12 => K = 1.73 x 10^-6.
 pH = -log(Kw(H3O^+)) = -log(1.73 x 10^-6) = 5.76</span>
