First, calculate the amount fo Na2O that should be produced with the given amount of sodium using proper dimensional analysis and the balanced chemical reaction,
theoretical amount of Na2O = (54.1 g of Na)(1 mol Na/23 g Na)(2 mos Na2O/4 mols Na)(62 g Na2O/ 1mol Na2O)
theoretical amount of Na2O = 72.9 g of Na2O
Calculation of percent yield,
% yield = (61.8 g Na2O) / (72.9 g of Na2O) x 100%
% yield = 84.75%
Answer: 84.75%
Answer:
ΔG° is for ideal (fixed) or standard conditions which cannot be found at the cellular level while ΔG is dependent on the quantities of reactants and products present at a specific time
Explanation:
ΔG° is fixed value for a given reaction that indicates the direction in which the reaction will proceed in a chemical equation under ideal conditions and because conditions within a cell varies and are unlike standard conditions, ΔG° cannot predict the direction of a cellular reaction at any given time. To predict the direction of progression of a reaction within the cell, ΔG is used, which depends on the amounts of the reactants and products present at a particular time
Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.
Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.
Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.
The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2
