Answer:

$Y=75.6\%$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no information about the reacting hydrogen is given, we can assume that it completely react with the 28.0 g of acetylene to yield ethane. In such a way, via the 1:1 mole ratio between acetylene (molar mass = 26 g/mol) and ethane (molar mass = 30 g/mol), we compute the yielded grams, or the theoretical yield of ethane as shown below:

$m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=28.0gC_2H_2*\frac{1molC_2H_2}{26gC_2H_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_2} *\frac{30gC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_6}\\ \\m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=32.3gC_2H_6$

Hence, by knowing that the percent yield is computed via the actual yield (24.5 g) over the theoretical yield, we obtain:

$Y=\frac{24.5g}{32.3g}*100\%\\ \\Y=75.6\%$

Best regards.

A 0.0000792 M sample of Compound X in a solvent has an absorbance of 0.341 at 528 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet. The solvent alone has

natima [27]

Answer:

a) a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) C = 0,000127 M

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law says that there is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of a chemical substance. The formula is:

A = a×b×C

Where A is absorbance, a is molar absorptivity, b is path length and C is concentration.

a) In the problem Concentration is 0.0000792 M, b is 1,000cm and Absorbance is absorbance of sample-absorbance of blank: 0,341-0,065 = 0,276

Replacing:

0,276 = a×1,000cm×0,0000792M

a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) As the experiment consist in the same compound in the same solvent, the molar absorptivity will be the same, a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, path length will be 1,000cm and absorbance: 0,508-0,065 = 0,443

Replacing:

0,443 = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹×1,000cm×C

C = 0,000127 M

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together? Frost forms on a window pain. Sleet turns to

Anettt [7]

The correct answer here is C. Dew forms on the grass.

Water is a polar substance, which means it has many unique properties. One of which, is its ability to adhere and cohere to surfaces and substances. This particular question is asking about the cohesive properties of water, meaning it’s ability to stick to itself (through bonding.) The only answer choice that represents a situation where water is linking up with other molecules of water are dew drops. The water comes together using cohesion to form the drop and hen the water’s high surface tension properties meet the dew drop’s shape. The other answer choices describe alternate processes like: freezing, melting, and evaporation, respectively.

I hope this helps! :)

How do you find out mass in science

Aliun [14]

Multiply the volume and density together. Multiply your two numbers together, and you'll know the mass of your object. Keep track of the units as you do this, and you'll see that you end up with units of mass (kilograms or grams). Example: We have a diamond with volume 5,000 cm3 and density 3.52 g/cm3

How many grams of cupric sulfate pentahydrate are needed to prepare 50.00 mL of 0.0800M CuSO4× 5H2O?

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as number of moles per liter of solution.

Mathematically, molarity = $\frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L) of solution}$

It is given that molarity is 0.0800 M and volume is 50.00 mL or 0.05 L.

molarity = $\frac{no. of moles}{Volume of solution in liter}$

0.0800 M = $\frac{no. of moles}{0.05 L}$

no. of moles = 1.6 mol

Therefore, molar mass of cupric sulfate pentahydrate is 249.68 g/mol. So, calculate the mass as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass in grams}{molar mass}$

mass in grams = $no. of moles \times molar mass of CuSO_{4}.5H_{2}O$

= $1.6 mol \times 249.68 g/mol$

= 399.488 g

Thus, we can conclude that 399.488 g of cupric sulfate pentahydrate are needed to prepare 50.00 mL of 0.0800M CuSO4× 5H2O.

What is protons most common ion

melisa1 [442]

Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H +, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.
