Answer:

The answer to your question is e. 3.99 g

Explanation:

Data

Cu₂S = 5g

theoretical yield = ?

Chemical reaction

                             Cu₂S + O₂ ⇒ 2Cu + SO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of Cu₂S and Cu

Cu₂S = (2 x 64) + 32 = 160 g

Cu = 2 x 64 = 128 g

2.- Calculate the theoretical production of Cu

                            160 g of Cu₂S  --------------- 128 g of Cu

                                5 g of Cu₂S  --------------   x

                                x = (5 x 128) / 160

                                x = 640 / 160

                               x = 4 g of Cu

What is the atomic number (Z) of an atom containing 30 neutrons and having A= 70?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
A= mass number = number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Z= number of electrons = number of protons
Given, number of neutrons= 30

Z = A - 30 = 70 - 30 = 40

Z = 40

Explain, in terms of charge distribution, why a molecule of carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar molecule.​
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. If the atoms are equal, the bond will be nonpolar (since no atom attracts electrons more strongly). But, if the atoms are different, the bond will be polarized towards the most electronegative atom, because it will be the atom that attracts the electron pair with more force. Then it will be polar.

It can occur in a molecule that the bonds are polar and the molecule is nonpolar. This occurs because of the geometry of the molecule, which causes them to cancel the different equal polar bonds of the molecule.

In carbon tetrachloride the bonds are polar, but the tetrahedral geometry of the molecule causes all four dipoles to cancel out and the molecule to be apolar.

What is the percent yield for carbon dioxide if 10.0 grams of carbon
ivolga24 [154]

The percent yield : 81.5%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

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

General formula:

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

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

2CO+O₂⇒2CO₂

mol CO(MW=28,01 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{10}{28.01}=0.357

mass CO₂ (theoretical)(MW=44,01 g/mol)

\tt 0.357\times 44.01=15.712~g

the percent yield :

\tt \dfrac{12.81}{15.712}\times 100\%=81.5\%
