Answer:

Nuclear reactions involve a change in an atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element. Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei.

For the following reaction, 4.31 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 5.17 grams of iron(II) oxi

natka813 [3]

Answer: The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For Iron:

Given mass of iron = 4.31 g

Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{4.31g}{53.85g/mol}=0.0771mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.

So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0771=0.0771mol$ of iron (ii) oxide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles

Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0771mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of iron(ii) oxide}}{71.844g/mol}=5.53g$

To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g

Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of iron (ii) oxide}=\frac{5.17g}{5.53g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of iron (ii) oxide}=93.49\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

A gas occupies a volume of 31.0 ml at 19.0°C. If the gas temperature rises to 38.0°C at constant pressure. Calculate the new vol

Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.0033 L (33.0 mL)

Explanation:

We uses the Charles's law which describes the changes in the volume (V) of a gas and its temperature in Kelvin (T) at constant pressure. The mathematical expression is the following:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

We have the following data:

V₁= 31.0 mL = 0.0031 L

T₁= 19.0°C = 292 K

T₂= 38.0°C = 311 K

V₂= ?

We calculate V₂ from the mathematical expression, as follows:

V₂= V₁/T₁ x T₂ = 0.0031 L/(292 K) x 311 K = 0.0033 L
