Answer:

The answer to your question is 280 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

Explanation:

Data

Efficiency = 30.80 %

Mg(NO₃)₂ = ?

Magnesium = 147.4 g

Copper (II) nitrate = excess

Balanced Reaction

                     Mg  +   Cu(NO₃)₂    ⇒    Mg(NO₃)₂   +   Cu

                  Reactants           Elements            Products

                         1                          Mg                     1

                         1                          Cu                      1

                         2                          N                       2

                         6                          O                       6

Process

1.- Calculate the theoretical yield

Molecular weight Mg = 24

Molecular weight Mg(NO₃)₂ = 24 + (14 x 2) + (16 x 6)

                                              = 24 + 28 + 96

                                              = 148 g

                           24 g of Mg  --------------------  148 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

                          147.4 g of Mg -------------------   x

                            x = (147.4 x 148) / 24

                            x = 908.96 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

2.- Calculate the Actual yield

yield percent = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}

Solve for actual yield

Actual yield = Yield percent x Theoretical yield

Substitution

Actual yield = \frac{30.8}{100} x 908.96

Actual yield = 279.95 ≈ 280g

At what temperature will water change from a solid to a liquid (melt)?
lord [1]

Answer:

When a solid reaches the temperature of its melting point, it can become a liquid. For water, the temperature needs to be a little over zero degrees Celsius (0oC) for you to melt.

(b) If 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce the ether reacts by the side reaction, what mass (g) of ethylene is produced?
Finger [1]

Ethylene is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C ₂H ₄ or H₂C=CH₂. It is a colourless flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. It is the simplest alkene.

Ethylene is widely used in the chemical industry, and its worldwide production exceeds that of any other organic compound.

<h3>What is ethylene used for?</h3>

Medical: Ethylene is used as an anaesthetic. Metal Fabrication: Ethylene is used as oxy-fuel gas in metal cutting, welding and high velocity thermal spraying. Refining: Ethylene is used as refrigerant, especially in LNG liquefaction plants. Rubber & Plastics: Ethylene is used in the extraction of rubber.

<h3>Is ethylene harmful to humans?</h3>

* Ethylene gas can affect you when breathed in. * Skin contact with liquid Ethylene can cause frostbite. * Exposure to Ethylene can cause headache, dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, confusion and unconsciousness. * Ethylene is a HIGHLY FLAMMABLE and REACTIVE chemical and a DANGEROUS FIRE and EXPLOSION HAZARD.

One isotope of oxygen has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. Which is the correct reference for this isotope? A. oxygen-18 B. oxygen-2 C
hammer [34]
A. Oxygen-18 is the correct reference for this isotope. As this notation requires the name of the element followed by a dash and the mass number of that corresponding element. The mass number is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons together as in this example.
