A student carries out the precipitation reaction shown below, starting with 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate. The final mass of th

e precipitate is 2.9 g. Answer the questions below to determine the percent yield. 3Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq) 1. a. Which product is the precipitate? b. How many moles of the precipitate would one expect to be produced from 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate? c. How many grams of solid do you expect to be produced? d. What is the percent yield?

Answer:

a. Ca₃(PO₄)₂.

b. 0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced

c. 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

d. Percent yield = 93.5%

Explanation:

a. Based on the reaction:

3Ca(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Na₃PO₄(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NaNO₃(aq)

<em>3 moles of calcium nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium phosphate producieng 1 mole of calcium phosphate.</em>

<em />

As you can see, Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is a solid product -(s)-, that means when the reaction occurs the precipitate produced is the solid,

<h3>Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

b. As 3 moles of calcium nitrate produce 1 mole of calcium phosphate and there are 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate

0.030 moles Ca(NO₃)₂ × (1 mol Ca₃(PO₄)₂ / 3 moles Ca(NO₃)₂) =

<h3>0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced</h3><h3 />

c. As molar mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is 310.18g/mol, the mass of 0.010 moles (The expected mass) is;

0.010 moles Ca₃(PO₄)₂ × (310.18g / mol) =

<h3>3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

d. The percent yield is defined as 100 times the ratio between the obtained yield (That is 2.9g of precipitate, Ca₃(PO₄)₂) and the expected yield, 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂:

\frac{2.9g}{3.1g} *100

<h3>Percent yield = 93.5%</h3>

Which radioactive emission has the smallest (least) mass? Question options:
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The answer is D. gamma rays

Explanation:

A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:

alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.

Beta particles (β) = they have 5x10^{-4} amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power

Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher

For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.

Explain how transverse waves can be produced on a rope. Then describe how pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
andrew-mc [135]
Transverse waves can be produced on a rope by moving one end of the rope up and down.The movement causes motion in the particles that make up the rope and the rope itself becomes the medium. The particles move perpendicular to the propagation. The movement also causes crests(highest point of the wave) and troughs (lowest point of the wave) which move along the direction of propagation.

What was the major weakness of Wegener's theory of continental drift
Alik [6]

Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory  in four reasons. One, he hypothesized that the continents were once a giant continent. Two, he observed that there are fossils found of the same kind in the different locations. Three, he found that the edge of opposing continents somehow fits if they are combined, almost like a puzzle. And four, there are glacial scars that are left behind by a larger glacial continent. His greatest weakness of Alfred Wegeners’ continental drift theory was he could not explain what kind of force that caused this continents to move far from each other.
