Answer:

39.3%

Explanation:

CaF2 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + 2HF

We must first determine the limiting reactant, the limiting reactant is the reactant that yields the least number of moles of products. The question explicitly says that H2SO4 is in excess so CaF2 is the limiting reactant hence:

For CaF2;

Number of moles reacted= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaF2= 78.07 g/mol

Number of moles reacted= 11g/78.07 g/mol = 0.14 moles of Calcium flouride

Since 1 mole of calcium fluoride yields two moles of 2 moles hydrogen fluoride

0.14 moles of calcium fluoride will yield 0.14×2= 0.28 moles of hydrogen fluoride

Mass of hydrogen fluoride formed (theoretical yield) = number of moles× molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen fluoride= 20.01 g/mol

Mass of HF= 0.28 moles × 20.01 g/mol= 5.6 g ( theoretical yield of HF)

Actual yield of HF was given in the question as 2.2g

% yield of HF= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

%yield of HF= 2.2/5.6 ×100

% yield of HF= 39.3%

Give two examples in your everyday experience where diffusion occurs. Can you think of a situation of where this might be harmfu

Vesnalui [34]

The first example of diffusion is smoking a cigarette when u light it it spreads through the air.
The second example is lighting a candle in a room it the smoke spreads through the air.
Smoke can be very bad for the air and the people around because it can cause many problems with your breathing.

Balance the following reactions using either the oxidation number method or the half-reaction method. Identify which element has

Marina86 [1]

$6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-$ → $6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O$ is the balanced chemical equation.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced chemical reaction is an equation that has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

Half-reaction method:

Unbalanced chemical equation:

$Ce^{4+} + I^-$ → $Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-}$

Oxidation half-reaction:

$I^-+ 6OH^- - 6e-$ → I $O^{3-} + 3H_2O$

Reduction half-reaction:

$Ce4^+ + e^-$ → $Ce^{3+}$

Balanced chemical equation:

$6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-$ → $6Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-} + 3H_2O$

Oxidation number method:

Unbalanced chemical equation:

$Ce^{4+} + I^-$ → $Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-}$

$I^{-1} -6e^-$ → $I^{+5}$

$Ce^{4+} + e^-$ → $Ce^{3+}$

Balanced chemical equation:

$6Ce^{4+} + I^{-1}$ → $6Ce^{3+} + I^{+5}$

$6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-$ → $6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O$

Hence, $6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-$ → $6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O$ is the balanced chemical equation.

The liter is a measurement of which of the following qualities volume,teampature,mass,density

Doss [256]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or 3D shape occupies or contains.[1] Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i.e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces. Three dimensional mathematical shapes are also assigned volumes. Volumes of some simple shapes, such as regular, straight-edged, and circular shapes can be easily calculated using arithmetic formulas. Volumes of complicated shapes can be calculated with integral calculus if a formula exists for the shape's boundary. One-dimensional figures (such as lines) and two-dimensional shapes (such as squares) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space.

The volume of a solid (whether regularly or irregularly shaped) can be determined by fluid displacement. Displacement of liquid can also be used to determine the volume of a gas. The combined volume of two substances is usually greater than the volume of just one of the substances. However, sometimes one substance dissolves in the other and in such cases the combined volume is not additive.[2]

In differential geometry, volume is expressed by means of the volume form, and is an important global Riemannian invariant. In thermodynamics, volume is a fundamental parameter, and is a conjugate variable to pressure.
