Answer:

Percent yield: 78.2%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

<em>4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃</em>

<em />

To find percent yield we need to find theoretical yield (Assuming a yield of 100%) and using:

(Actual yield (6.8g) / Theoretical yield) × 100

Moles of 4.6g of Al (Molar mass: 26.98g/mol) are:

4.6g Al × (1mol / 26.98g) = 0.1705 moles of Al.

As 4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃, theoretical moles of Al₂O₃ obtained from 0.1705 moles of Al are:

0.17505 moles Al × (2 moles Al₂O₃ / 4 moles Al) = <em>0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃</em>,

In grams (Molar mass Al₂O₃ = 101.96g/mol):

0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃ × (101.96g / mol) =

<h3>8.7g of Al₂O₃ can be produced (Theoretical yield)</h3>

Thus, Percent yield is:

(6.8g / 8.7g) × 100 =

<h3>78.2% </h3>

Determine the [h3o+] of a 0.210 m solution of formic acid.
Nataly [62]
When the Pka for formic acid = 3.77
and Pka = -㏒ Ka 
   3.77 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.7x10^-4 

when Ka = [H+][HCOO-}/[HCOOH]

when we have Ka = 1.7x10^-4 &[HCOOH] = 0.21 m
so by substitution: by using ICE table value
1.7x10^-4 = X*X / (0.21-X)
(1.7x10^-4)*(0.21-X) = X^2      by solving this equation for X

∴X = 0.0059
∴[H+] = 0.0059
∴PH= -㏒ [H+]
       = -㏒ 0.0059
       = 2.23

Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Exchange
leonid [27]

Answer:

Answer is below with the steps in order

Explanation:

4) Blood picks up carbon dioxide from the body

7) Heart pumps carbon dioxide rich blood to the lungs

8) Inhale

9) Nose traps germs in air

10) Air moves down the trachea

3) Air moves through bronchi into the bronchioles

6) Alveoli receive oxygen pass to blood

9) Oxygen passes into the blood

11) Alveoli receives carbon dioxide from the blood

12) Oxygen-rcih blood flows to the heart

3) Carbon Dioxide moves from bonchioles to bronchi

13)Carbon dioxide flows up

1) Heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body

The last <em>four of five</em> steps could be switched up a little bit since it all happens synchronously, but this is the most accurate interpretation.

At a certain temperature, the vapor pressure of pure benzene ‍ is atm. A solution was prepared by dissolving g of a nondissociat
erastova [34]

Answer:

Molar mass of solute: 300g/mol

Explanation:

<em>Vapor pressure of pure benzene: 0.930 atm</em>

<em>Assuming you dissolve 10.0 g of the non-volatile solute in 78.11g of benzene and vapour pressure of solution was found to be 0.900atm</em>

<em />

It is possible to answer this question based on Raoult's law that states vapor pressure of an ideal solution is equal to mole fraction of the solvent multiplied to pressure of pure solvent:

P_{sln} = X_{solvent}P_{solvent}^0

Moles in 78.11g of benzene are:

78.11g benzene × (1mol / 78.11g) = <em>1 mol benzene</em>

Now, mole fraction replacing in Raoult's law is:

0.900atm / 0.930atm = <em>0.9677 = moles solvent / total moles</em>.

As mole of solvent is 1:

0.9677× total moles = 1 mole benzene.

Total moles:

1.033 total moles. Moles of solute are:

1.033 moles - 1.000 moles = <em>0.0333 moles</em>.

As molar mass is the mass of a substance in 1 mole. Molar mass of the solute is:

10.0g / 0.033moles = <em>300g/mol</em>
