Answer:

A. 70.7%

Explanation:

In the first step lets compute the molar mass of CH₃OH and CO

Molar Mass of CH₃OH =  1(12.01 g/mol) + 4(1.008 g/mol) +1(16.00 g/mol)

                                     = 32.042 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂      = 1(12.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol)  

                                     = 44.01 g/mol

                                   

Mass of only one reactant i.e. CH₃OH is given so  it must be the limiting reactant. Next, the theoretical yield is calculated directly as follows:

Given mass of CH₃OH is 10.4 g. So we have:

                                     10.4g CH₃OH

Convert grams of CH₃OH to moles of CH₃OH utilizing molar mass of CH₃OH as:

                          1 mol CH₃OH / 32.042 g CH₃OH

Convert CH₃OH to moles of CO₂ using mole ratio as:

                             2 mol CO₂ / 2 mol CH₃OH

Convert moles of  CO₂ to grams of  CO₂ utilizing molar mass of  CO₂ as:

                           44.01 g/mol CO₂ / 1 mol CO₂

Now calculating theoretical yield using above steps:

[ 10.4 g CH₃OH ]  [1 mol CH₃OH / 32.042 g CH₃OH ]  [2 mol CO₂ / 2 mol CH₃OH]  [44.01 g/mol CO₂ / 1 mol CO₂]

Multiplication is performed here. We are left with 10.4 and 44.01 g CO₂ from numerator terms in the above equation and 32.042 from denominator terms after cancellation process of above terms. So this equation becomes:

= ( 10.4 ) ( 44.01 ) g CO₂ / 32.042

= 457.704/32/042

=  14.28 g CO₂

Theoretical yield =  14.28 g CO₂  

Finally compute the percent yield for a process in which 10.4g of CH₃OH reacts and 10.1 g of CO₂ is formed:

percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100

As we have calculated theoretical yield which is 14.28 g CO₂ and actual yield is 10.1 g CO₂ So,

percent yield = (10.1 g CO₂ / 14.28 g CO₂) x 100%

                       = 0.707 x 100%

                       = 70.7 %

Hence option A 70.7% yield is the correct answer.

In AG calculations, temperature is expressed in a. degrees Celsius. b. kelvins. c. degrees Fahrenheit, d. kilojoules.
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The correct option is: a. degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The anion gap is the difference in the cations and anions in plasma, serum or urine, calculated from medical lab test results. It can be calculated by measuring the concentration of the anions or cations, which are expressed in millimoles/litre (mmol/L) or milliequivalents/liter (mEq/L).

The temperature in this test is expressed in degrees Celsius (°C).

To a 0.0001 m solution of mg(no3)2, naoh was added to a final concentration of 0.001m did a precipitate form?
Natalija [7]

I looked on a solubility chart to answer this question, and hydroxides are generally insoluble (with some exceptions of course). However, it says to consider Mg(OH)_{2} as an insoluble substance, though it may be moderately soluble.


The answer that you are most likely looking for is: Yes, a precipitate does form - this is due to the double placement reaction:


Mg(NO_{3})_{2}_{(aq)} + 2NaOH_{(aq)} → Mg(OH)_{2} {(s)} + 2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}

Which of these statements best compares the pair of line segments with the vertex?
liraira [26]

The line segment is describe  as a line which joints two points. The word segment is denotes the end points of the line. The symbol of the line segment is AB. This symbol is indicating a line from the point A to the point B.

  • Generally, the line segment has two endpoints. The meeting point of two line segments is called as the vertex and also it is considered as a common endpoint on the other hand line is a straight path of points that goes on and on in two directions
  • Vertex is a point where two rays meet OR where the sides of a polygon meet OR the point where three or more edges of a solid figure meet and the angle is Formed by two rays that have the same endpoint

A block of metal has a mass of 0.0694 kg. It displaces 3.6 mL of water. What is it’s density in g/cm^3
Ivan

Answer:

19.28 g/cm^3 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

The volume of water displaced = the volume of the metal.

density = mass / volume

0.0694 kg = 0.0694 * 1000

=  69.4 g.

Density = 69.4 / 3.6

= 19.28 g/cm^3.
