Answer:

25%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Experimental yield = 30 g

Actual yield = 40 g

Percentage error =..?

Thus, we can calculate the percentage error as follow:

Percentage error = |Experimental – Actual | / Actual × 100

Percentage error = |30 – 40|/40 × 100

Percentage error = 10/40 × 100

Percentage error = 25 %

Therefore, the percentage error in calculating the yield is 25%

Balance each reaction and write its reaction quotient, Qc:(b) POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Komok [63]

When we balance the given equation

POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

We will get

2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Solution:

Balancing the given equation

POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Balancing the number of O

2POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Balancing the number of P and Cl

2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

We get the balanced equation

2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

The reaction quotient will be

Qc = [product] / [reactant]

Qc = [PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)] / [POCl₃(g) ]

Which part of the electrochemical cell allows the back-and-forth passage of ions from the cathode to the anode? the half cell

olganol [36]

Answer is "The salt Bridge"

Explanation:
During the spontaneous reaction in Voltaic Cell, the balance of ions get disturb due to increase in concentration of negative charge in one half cell and positive charge in another. In order to keep balance the charges in cell, concentration of ions on both sides and overall neutrality of the system, a U-shape tube filled with inert electrolyte is connected to both half cells. The electrolyte migrates in such a way that the charges of solution in cells keep constant.
