A student isolated 15.6 g of product from a chemical reaction. She calculated that the reactions should have produced 18.4 g of

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The percent yield of this reaction is 84.8 % (option A is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The student isolated 15.6 grams of the product = the actual yield

She calculated the reaction should have produced 18.4 grams of product = the theoretical yield = 18.4 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield ) * 100 %

Percent yield = (15.6 grams / 18.4 grams ) * 100 %

Percent yield = 84.8 %

The percent yield of this reaction is 84.8 % (option A is correct)

Benzene exists as a resonance hybrid and its bonds exhibit characteristics that are halfway between single and double bonds. Res

gregori [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can only talk about resonance hybrid for a compound in which more than one structure is possible based on its observed chemical properties.

There are compounds whose chemical properties can not be satisfactorily explained on the basis of a single chemical structure. In the case of such compounds, we invoke the idea of resonance.

A resonance hybrid is a single structure drawn to represent a given chemical specie which exhibits resonance behaviour and can otherwise be represented on paper in the form of an average of two or more chemical structures separated each from the next by a double-headed arrow.

A total of 25.0 mL of 0.150 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) was required to neutralize 15.0 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) of unknown c

Kamila [148]

We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:

KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄

If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:

0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH

0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄

We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:

0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L

The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.

Answer:

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, one magnesium atom, and 5 atoms in total.

Explanation:

We are given a compound in formula form. To make things easier to understand, we can first convert this to the name of the compound.

When a compound contains one or more elements in parentheses, these are usually a polyatomic ion.
Polyatomic ions are ions made up of two or more elements with a positive or negative charge over the entire ion. Commons examples of these NH₄⁺ (ammonia) and HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate).
You can combine metals with polyatomic ions to create commonly known compounds, such as baking soda. The chemical name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, so we can combine Na (sodium) with HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate) and create sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃.

This compound is one magnesium atom bonded to two hydroxide ions.

Hydroxide is the compound between one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The compound overall adopts a negative charge of 1.
If we have one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom, the most electronegative atom is written first in chemical formulas. Therefore, the symbol for Oxygen (O) goes first.
Then, write in the hydrogen atom directly after the O symbol: OH.
Finally, since we have a negative charge on the ion, we need to play a negative sign as a superscript for the compound. Therefore, this becomes OH⁻.

Now, we need to determine the charge on the Magnesium atom which is determined from the amount of valence electrons the atom has.

On a periodic table, the symbol for Magnesium is Mg and this element has 2 valence electrons.
In order to fulfill the Octet Rule, the It is more likely to give up 2 electrons to a nonmetal than it is to gain 6, so we can safely assume that the charge is ²⁺.
We need to use the criss-cross technique to transfer the charges between the element and the ion, so the negative 1 charge goes to the Mg, which does not appear (negative 1 or positive 1 are implied) and since the magnesium has a charge of positive 2, this is the subscript for the hydroxide ion.
Therefore, our compound becomes Mg(OH)₂, and we have labeled this as magnesium hydroxide.

Now, to the number of atoms:

The new charge on Mg is 1-, so there is only one atom of Mg.
The charge is 2+ on the OH ion, so there are two atoms of H and two atoms of O.
Two atoms of oxygen, two atoms of hydrogen, and one atom of magnesium add up to be five atoms in total.
