%yield = 54.6%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

(theoretical)

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

<h3 />

Reaction

2ZnS+3O₂ ⇒ 2ZnO+2SO₂

MW ZnS = 97.474 g/mol

  • mol ZnS

\tt \dfrac{150}{97.474}=1.54

MW ZnO = 81.38 g/mol

  • mol ZnO (from mol ZnS as limiting reactant, O₂ excess)

\tt \dfrac{2}{2}\times 1.54=1.54

  • Actual ZnO produced

\tt 1.54\times 81.38=125.33~g

Theoretical production = 125.388

  • %yield

\tt \dfrac{68.5}{125.33}\times 100\%=\boxed{\bold{54.6\%}}

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys? divergent boundary in the ocean divergent boun
Mila [183]

Answer:

Divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earth’s tectonic plates move apart (diverge), or rift. Rift valleys are found both on land and at the bottom of the ocean, where they are created by the process of seafloor spreading.

Rift valleys are created by tectonic activity and not the process of erosion.

Tectonic plates are huge, rocky slabs of Earth's lithosphere—its crust and upper mantle. Tectonic plates are constantly in motion—shifting against each other in fault zones, falling beneath one another in a process called subduction, crashing against one another at convergent plate boundaries, and tearing apart from each other at divergent plate boundaries.

The most well-known rift valley on Earth is probably the so-called "Great Rift Valley System" which stretches from the Middle East in the north to Mozambique in the south. The area is geologically active, and features volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and frequent earthquakes.
