The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²). Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a solution of ___lower_____ concentration to ___higher_____ concentration.
Isotope - the same element, but different atomic mass so 1)35 Cl and 37 Cl
It's known as the greenhouse effect.
Answer:
So first thing to do in these types of problems is write out your chemical reaction and balance it:
Mg + O2 --> MgO
Then you need to start thinking about moles of Magnesium for moles of Magnesium Oxide. Based on the above equation 1 mole of Magnesium is needed to make one mole of Magnesium Oxide.
To get moles of magnesium you need to take the grams you started with (.418) and convert to moles by dividing by molecular weight of Mg (24.305), this gives you .0172 moles of Mg.
The theoretical yield would be the assumption that 100% of the magnesium will be converted into Magnesium Oxide, so you would get, based on the first equation, .0172 mol of MgO. Multiplying this by the molecular weight of MgO (24.305+16) gives us .693 g of MgO.
The percent yield is what you actually got in the experiment, and for this you subtract off the total mass from the crucible mass, or 27.374 - 26.687, which gives .66 g of MgO obtained.
Percent yield is acutal/theoretical, .66/.693, or 95.24%.
I'll let you do the same for the second trial, and average percent yield is just an average of the two trials percent yield.
Hope this helps.
