Hey there!

To find this, you should:

1) multiply the percentage (but in a decimal form) of each isotope by the mass.
2) add all your masses together
3) make sure to check for significant figures and you’re done!

Hope this helps :)

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams
jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a <em>limiting reactant</em> problem.

We know that we will need a <em>balanced equation</em> with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

<em>Step 1</em>. <em>Gather all the informatio</em>n in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01  2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each reactant</em>

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

<em>Step 3. </em>Identify the<em> limiting reactan</em>t

Calculate the <em>moles of CH_3OH</em> we can obtain from each reactant.

<em>From CO</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO  × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

<em>From H_2</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

<em>CO is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of CH_3OH</em>

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH

How does an electromagnet create a magnetic field
777dan777 [17]
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire create a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the center of the coil

Why can't scientists simply use carbon-12 (12C) do determine
Alex

Answer:

carbon-12 is not radioactive

Explanation:

The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.

Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.
