Answer:

0.677 moles

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)

= 0.02256 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,

meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.

So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.

\frac{3}{1} =\frac{y}{0.02256} \\

y = 0.02256 x3

y = 0.0677 mol

If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.

The measured value 24.00 g has an uncertainty of?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

±0.005 g

Explanation:

The uncertainty depends on whether the measurement was obtained manually or digitally.

1. Manual

The minimum uncertainty is ±0.01 g.

It may be greater, depending on random or personal errors

2. Digital

Most measurements of mass are now made on digital scales.

A digital device must always round off the measurement it displays.

For example, if the display reads 20.00, the measurement must be between 20.005 and 19.995 (±0.005).

If the measured value were 20.006, the display would round up to 20.01.

If the measured value were 19.994, the display would round down to 19.99.

The uncertainty is ±0.005 g.

The scale shown below would display a mass of 20.00 g

Dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O is sometimes used as a powerful chlorinating agent in research. It can be produced by passing chlorine
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

% yield =  82.5%

Explanation:

HgO + 2Cl₂ →  HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

Our reactants are:

  • HgO and Cl₂

Our products are:

  • HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:

% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%

How do nuclear fusion and combustion relate?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:The key to remember is that carbon combustion requires oxygen. As soon as there is no oxygen left, carbon combustion stops. In nuclear fusion, the nuclei of atoms are fused together to make new, bigger nuclei.

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.
