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.

Identify the following example as a physical or chemical change. Moisture in the air forms beads of water on a cold window pane.
denis23 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The given example is a physical change.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A chemical change is defined as the change in which chemical composition of a substance changes and results in the formation of a new substance. These are usually irreversible process.

A physical change is defined as the change in which only the shape and size of the substance changes and no new substance is formed. Only phase change occurs in these processes. These are usually considered as a reversible change.

For the given example: Moisture in the air forms beads of water on a cold window pane.

This is a physical change because water was initially present in the gaseous state (Moisture in the air) and when it is coming in contact with the cold window pane, the gaseous state of water gets converted into a liquid state.

Hence, the given example is a physical change.

Why is hydrogen a “cleaner” fuel source than gasoline?

hydrogen is natural created and in the air already, gas is a fossil fuel and is killing the Ozone layer.  carbon dioxide is a poison and can really harm us and the world.

this paragraph basically explains the question

Compared to the carbon dioxide that is produced when we burn gasoline, ethanol, and other carbon-containing fuels, the water produced by burning hydrogen has a less harmful effect on Earth’s climate. If we can power our cars with hydrogen without producing carbon dioxide, then why don’t more vehicles use hydrogen fuel? Unfortunately, the technology needed to use hydrogen as a fuel is expensive, and storing hydrogen fuel can be difficult. Also, the most common way of getting pure hydrogen is by separating it from substances that contain carbon—so although burning hydrogen fuel does less harm to Earth’s climate than burning carbon-containing fuels, the production of hydrogen fuel is still a problem for scientists trying to reduce climate change.
