Based on the balanced chemical reaction presented above, every mole of magnesium (Mg) yields one mole of diatomic hydrogen (H2). When converted to masses, every 24.3 grams of magnesium yields 2 grams of hydrogen. 

From the given, there are 20 grams of magnesium available for the reaction. With this amount, the expected yield of hydrogen is 1.646 grams. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield to the hypothetical yield.

*The case is impossible because the actual yield is greater than the theoretical yield.

If we assume that there had been a typographical error and that the actual yield is 0.7 grams instead of 1.7 grams, the percent yield becomes 42.5%. Thus, the answer is letter E.

How many liters are in 2.75 ounces? Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 33.814 ounces Rounded to the result to 3 significant fi
Serggg [28]
1L = 33.814 oz
xL = 2.75 oz

so it's a proportion

1L / 33.814 oz = xL / 2.75

solve for x

(1/33.814) * 2.75 = 0.0813272609 on your calculator, but it's not the answer.

the number in your problem, 2.75 oz, has 3 significant figures. so you can only round this number to 3 significant figures too.

your equipment isn't accurate enough to give a reading to 10 significant figures if that makes sense. you have to give the answer in terms of the term you use with the lowest significant figures.

so with 3 significant figures,
0.0813272609 rounds to
0.0813 L
