The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.

Answer:

c    43.38 g

Explanation:

The reaction  between MnO2 and HCl can be represented by the following balanced equation:

MnO2 + HCl ---> Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

From the balanced equation, the theoretically required molar ratio of MnO2 to HCl is 1:1, therefore the yields would have been expected to be equal.  

For the fact that HCl  gives a higher yield (65.02g) than MnO2 (60.25g) according to the problem statement, HCl should be in excess,  while the limiting reagent should be MnO2 .  

Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl2 will be  60.25 g.

By definition, the percentage yield is given by

% Yield = (Actual Yield) / (Theoretical Yield),  

This can be simplified to

Actual Yield = % Yield * Theoretical Yield

Plugging in the given values we have

Actual Yield = 72% *  60.25 = 43.38 g

Which of the following mixture types is characterized by the settling of particles?
torisob [31]
The answer is B. Suspension. Suspension mixtures are composed of two or more materials mixed together wherein the solute particles are usually larger than those found in a solution or colloid. In cases of solid-fluid suspension mixtures, the solid solute particles tend to settle at the bottom of the mixture after some time.

A 52.0-mL volume of 0.35 M CH3COOH (Ka=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.40 M NaOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 23.0 mL of
Georgia [21]

NaOH reacts with CH3COOH in 1:1 molar ratio to produce CH3COONa 

NaOH + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O 

Mol CH3COOH in 52.0mL of 0.35M solution = 52.0/1000*0.35 = 0.0182 mol CH3COOH 

Mol NaOH in 19.0mL of 0.40M solution = 19.0/1000*0.40 = 0.0076 mol NaOH 

These will react to produce 0.0076 mol CH3COONa and there will be 0.0182 - 0.0076 = 0.0106 mol CH3COOH remaining in solution unreacted . Total volume of solution = 52.0+19.0 = 71mL or 0.071L 

Molarity of CH3COOH = 0.0106/0.071 = 0.1493M 

CH3COONa = 0.0076 / 0.071 = 0.1070M 

pKa acetic acid = - log Ka = -log 1.8*10^-5 = 4.74. 

pH using Henderson - Hasselbalch equation: 

pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) 

pH = 4.74 + log ( 0.1070/0.1493) 

pH = 4.74 + log 0.717 

pH = 4.74 + (-0.14) 

pH = 4.60.

Why would you want to use a material that is not likely to undergo a phsical change for your stepping stone?
nadya68 [22]
Because a good stepping stone would be a solid and if that solid were to melt or turn to gas you’d have no stepping stone.
