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 does hydrogen bonding affect the physical properties of substances?
alekssr [168]
The melting and boiling point depend on the strength of the ihydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding will cause the higher the melting and boiling points because more energy is needed to break bonds between molecules.
Hydrogen bonds affect solubility in water, molecules with hydrogen bonds dissolve better in water.

Disadvantages of Mendeleev's periodic table​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Various limitations of Mendeleev's periodic table are:-

Position of hydrogen - he couldn't assign a correct position to hydrogen as it showed properties of both alkali and halogens .

Position of isotopes - he considered that the properties of elements are a function of their atomic masses. Hence isotopes of a same element couldn't be placed.

In the d-block , elements with lower atomic number were placed before higher atomic number.
