Answer:

81.3 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For ferrocene:-

Mass of ferrocene = 100 mg = 0.1 g

Molar mass of ferrocene = 186.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{0.1\ g}{186.04\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ ferrocene= 0.0005375\ mol

For acetyl chloride:-

Volume = 40 microliters = 0.04 mL

Density = 1.1 g / mL

Density is defined as:-

\rho=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

or,  

Mass={\rho}\times Volume=1.1\times 0.04\ g=0.044 g

Mass of acetyl chloride = 0.044 g

Molar mass of acetyl chloride = 78.49 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{0.044\ g}{78.49\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ acetyl\ chloride= 0.0005606\ mol

As per the reaction stoichiometry, one mole of ferrocene reacts with one mole of acetyl chloride to give one mole of monoacetylferrocene

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, ferrocene is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

one mole of ferrocene on reaction forms one mole of monoacetylferrocene

0.0005375 mole of ferrocene on reaction forms  0.0005375 mole of monoacetylferrocene

Moles of product formed =  0.0005375 moles

Molar mass of monoacetylferrocene = 228.07 g/mole

Mass of monoacetylferrocene produced = Moles*molecular weight = 0.0005375*228.07 g = 0.123 grams = 123 mg

Given experimental yield = 100 mg

<u>% yield = (Experimental yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 = (100/ 123) × 100 = 81.3 %</u>

Our skies are blue because of what kind of light? (for my science class pls help- :&lt;)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

"Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time."

How many moles of helium gas are contained in a 4.0 L flask at STP
Ratling [72]
First, you convert liters to moles. 
Usually you have to go to grams but this is STP.

Get moles directly by dividing the 4 by STP (22.4)
\frac{4}{22.4} =0.17857142857
About 1.8*10^{-1} or 0.18 moles whichever your teacher prefers

Chuck wants to know how many electrons in an atom are not paired up. Which model would be best for Chuck to
loris [4]

Answer:

D. an orbital notation of the atom

Explanation:

Orbital notiation uses lines and arrows to show shells, subshells, and orbitals for electrons in an atom. Since it shows arrows being paired up in this diagram it would be the best model for Chuck to use.
