Answer:

Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.

Answer:

0.0025moles

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

According to this question, to make 250 mL of a 0.01 M solution of CaCl, the following number of moles is needed:

Volume = 250mL = 250/1000 = 0.250Litres.

Using; molarity = n/V

0.01 = n/0.250

n = 0.0025

n = 2.5 × 10^-3 moles.

A chemical reaction that is expected to form 325.0 gof product only forms 123.8 g of product. What is the percent yield of this

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 38.1 \%}}$

Explanation:

Percent yield is the ratio of the amount actually produced to how much could theoretically be produced. It is found using this formula:

$\% \ yield = \frac{actual \ yield}{theoretical \ yield} *100$

For this reaction, the theoretical or expected yield is 325.0 grams. The actual yield is 123.8 grams.

$\% \ yield = \frac{ 123.8 \ g }{325.0 \ g }*100$

Divide.

$\% \ yield = 0.380923077 *100$

$\% \ yield = 38.0923077$

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 0 to a 1 .

$\% \ yield \approx 38.1$

The percent yield is about <u>38.1%</u>

If 1.50 L of 0.780 mol/L sodium sulfide is mixed with 1.00 L of a 3.31 mol/L lead(II) nitrate solution, what mass of precipitate

NARA [144]

Answer:

336.1 g of PbS precipitate

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

Na2S(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ----> 2NaNO3(aq) + PbS(s)

Ionically;

Pb^2+(aq) + S^2-(aq) -----> PbS(s)

Number of moles of sodium sulphide= concentration of sodium sulphide × volume of sodium sulphide

Number of moles of sodium sulphide= 0.780 × 1.5 = 1.17 moles

Number of moles of lead II nitrate= concentration of lead II nitrate × volume of lead II nitrate

Number of moles of lead II nitrate= 3.31× 1.00= 3.31 moles

Then we determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant yields the least amount of product.

Since 1 moles of sodium sulphide yields 1 mole of lead II sulphide

1.17 moles of sodium sulphide also yields 1.17 moles of lead II sulphide

Hence sodium sulphide is the limiting reactant.

Thus mass of precipitate formed= amount of lead II sulphide × molar mass of sodium sulphide

Molar mass of lead II sulphide= 287.26 g/mol

Mass of lead II sulphide = 1.17 moles × 287.26 g/mol

Mass of lead II sulphide= 336.1 g of PbS precipitate

Which statement refers to the quantum mechanical model? A) Electrons move in a circular path about the nucleus. B) Electrons can

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Electrons are in "orbitals", regions of space where there is high probability of being found.

Explanation:

The Wave mechanical model of the atom does not restrict the electrons to certain energy levels only as in the Bohr's model, instead it describes a region around the nucleus called an orbital, where there is a high probability of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy.

Each energy level is composed of one or more orbitals and the distribution of electrons around the nucleus is determined by the number and kind of energy levels that are occupied.
