Answer:

Fe → Fe⁺³ + 3e⁻

Explanation:

The oxidation half reaction for iron is:

Fe → Fe⁺³ + 3e⁻

Other options are incorrect because,

A) 3e⁻ + Fe → Fe³⁺

This is incorrect because when three electrons are gained by any atom it will gain negative three charge not positive.

C) 6e⁻ + 2Fe → 2Fe³⁺

This is incorrect because when six electrons are gained by any atom it will gain negative six charge not positive.

d) Fe → 2Fe³⁺ + 6e⁻

Its also incorrect because iron atoms are not balanced on both side of equation.

Eli states that sodium phosphate is a mixture because it is composed of both sodium ions and phosphate ions.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition.

Explanation:

Sodium phosphate is a compound and not a mixture. It is made up of sodium and phosphate ions and they exists as just a single compound and not different entities.

The parts of a mixture exists separately and they retain their identities.

In the compound a sodium phosphate we have 3 atoms, Na, P and Oxygen joined together in a definite grouping.
The properties of the compound are different from the individual elements that makes them up.

What do you think happens to the air in the collid when ice cream melts ?

vichka [17]

The air escapes into the atmosphere.

An emulsion is a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it does not dissolve.

Ice cream is essentially an emulsion of the fat in milk with a sugar solution trapped in a network of small ice crystals. Other chemicals are added to prevent the emulsion from separating, and air bubbles are mixed into the semisolid mixture.

Up to 50 % of the volume of ice cream can be air.

When the ice cream melts, the air bubbles are no longer trapped. They just escape into the atmosphere.

If you re-freeze the melted ice cream, its volume will be much less than the original.

Answer:

3.23 atm

Explanation:

Use the equation P₁V₁=P₂V₂. P₁ and V₁ are initial pressure and volume. P₂ and V₂ are final pressure and volume. Solve for P₂.

(1.88 L)(3.81 atm) = (2.22 L)(P₂)

7.1628 L*atm = (2.22 L)(P₂)

P₂ = 3.226 atm

Percentage Yield

scoundrel [369]

Q.No. 1:

You have 20.0 g of CaCO₃. You decompose it by heat, and weigh the calcium oxide that remains. You have 10.3 grams. What is the % yield?

Answer:

%age Yield = 92.37 %

Solution:

The balance chemical equation for given decomposition reaction is;

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

Step 1: Calculate Moles of CaCO₃:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 20.0 g / 100.08 g/mol

Moles = 0.199 moles of CaCO₃

Step 2: Calculate theoretical amount of CaO produced;

According to equation,

1 moles of CaCO₃ produced = 1 mole of CaO

So,

0.199 moles of CaCO₃ will produce = X moles of CaO

Solving for X,

X = 0.199 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

X = 0.199 mol of CaO

Also,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.199 mol × 56.07 g/mol

Mass = 11.15 g of CaO

Step 3: Calculate %age Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield = 10.3 g / 11.15 g × 100

%age Yield = 92.37 %

Q.No. 2:

A student makes sodium chloride by buming 2.3 grams of sodium in chlorine gas. If the yield is 90%, how much sodium chloride is made?

Answer:

Actual Yield = 5.785 g of NaCl

Solution:

The balance chemical equation for given decomposition reaction is;

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Na:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 2.3 g / 23 g/mol

Moles = 0.10 moles of Na

Step 2: Calculate theoretical amount of NaCl produced;

According to equation,

2 moles of Na produced = 2 moles of NaCl

So,

0.10 moles of Na will produce = X moles of NaCl

Solving for X,

X = 0.10 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.10 mol of NaCl

Also,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.10 mol × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 5.844 g of NaCl

Step 3: Calculate Actual Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Or,

Actual Yield = %age Yield × Theoretical Yield ÷ 100

Actual Yield = 99 × 5.844 g ÷ 100

Actual Yield = 5.785 g of NaCl

Q.No. 3:

For the chemical reaction Mg(s) + 2 HCl (aq) → H₂ (g) + MgCl₂ (aq) calculate the % yield if 100 grams of magnesium react with excess HCl to produce 310 grams of MgCl₂.

Answer:

%age Yield = 79.13 %

Solution:

The balance chemical equation for given decomposition reaction is;

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Mg:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 100 g / 24.30 g/mol

Moles = 4.11 moles of Mg

Step 2: Calculate theoretical amount of MgCl₂ produced;

According to equation,

1 mole of Mg produced = 1 mole of MgCl₂

So,

4.11 moles of Mg will produce = X moles of MgCl₂

Solving for X,

X = 4.11 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

X = 4.11 mol of MgCl₂

Also,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 4.11 mol × 95.21 g/mol

Mass = 391.73 g of MgCl₂

Step 3: Calculate %age Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield = 310.0 g / 391.73 g × 100

%age Yield = 79.13 %
