Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The O horizon is the top layer of the soil, which occurs as both thick and thin soil at different places, and it is absent in certain places. It is comprised of organic matter which mainly includes the decomposed leaves and also sometimes, the dead remains of animals are also found which enhances the quality of the soil. This layer is also known as the humus or organic layer.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

What is the molarity of the resulting solution when 23.640 g of Mn(ClO4)2 · 6 H2O are added to 200.0 mL of water? WebAssign will

drek231 [11]

Answer:

0.3267 M

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first we calculate how many moles of Mn(ClO₄)₂ are contained in 23.640 g of Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O.

Keep in mind that the crystals of Mn(ClO₄)₂ are hydrated, and <em>we need to consider those six water molecules when calculating the molar mass of the crystals</em>.

Molar mass of Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O = 54.94 + (35.45+16*4)*2 + 6*18 = 361.84 g/mol

Now we <u>proceed to calculate</u>:

23.640 g Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O ÷ 361.84 g/mol = 0.0653 mol Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O = mol Mn(ClO₄)₂

Now we divide the moles by the volume, to <u>calculate molarity</u>:

200 mL⇒ 200/1000 = 0.200 L

0.0653 mol Mn(ClO₄)₂ / 0.200 L = 0.3267 M

A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $Na$ = 5.0 g

Mass of $Cl_2$ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of $Na$ = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of $Cl_2$ = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $Na$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}$

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}$

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react with 1 mole of $Cl_2$

So, 0.217 moles of $Na$ react with $\frac{0.217}{2}=0.108$ moles of $Cl_2$

From this we conclude that, $Cl_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Na$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaCl$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react to give 2 mole of $NaCl$

So, 0.217 mole of $HCl$ react to give 0.217 mole of $NaCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaCl$

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl$

Molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = $\frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100$

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

What is the luster of aluminum

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Luster of aluminum is Silver-White.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a Silver-White metal which is extracted from the Bauxite ore which can be reddish brown, white, tan, grey-white and tan-yellow in color and have the minerals like Gibbsite, Boehmite and Diaspore which are the minerals of the aluminium.

The Bauxite is the rock from which the Bauxite ore is extracted which have the minerals of the aluminum.

The luster of a metal is the color and shine of it and its shiny appearance.

Aluminium is a light weight metal but have a moderate hardness which makes a wider use of it. Aluminium is used in many places where the weight of the material is kept light but its hardness can be increased by mixing some other metals in it making hard alloy with lighter weight.

It is used in transportation vehicles, buildings, and many other places like Air crafts as the weight should be kept controlled to give a perfect lift to the Air craft.

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to:______.

taurus [48]

Answer:

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to <u>zero.</u>

The correct option is<u> 'c'.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Lets look around all the given options -:</u>

(a) the entropy change for a theoretical reversible process with the same initial and final states , since the entropy change is equal and opposite in reversible process , thus this option in not correct.

(b) equal to the entropy change for the same process performed reversibly ONLY if the process can be reversed at all. Since , the change is same as well as opposite too . Therefore , this statement is also not true .

(c) zero. This option is true because We generate more entropy in an irreversible process. Because no heat moves into or out of the surroundings during the procedure, the entropy change of the surroundings is zero.

(d) impossible to tell. This option is invalid , thus incorrect .

<u>Hence , the correct option is 'c' that is zero.</u>
