The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our
starting point.</span>
<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2
mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g
x 100</span>
Percent yield = 67.58%
Answer:
- <u>1. Equation: 2x + 3 = 9x - 11</u>
<u></u>
- <u>2. Each row has 2 chairs</u>
Explanation:
The variable x represents the number of chairs in each row.
<u />
<u>1. She can form 2 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over.</u>
Thus, she has:
number of rows number of chairs in chairs number of chairs
each row left over she has
2 x 3 2x + 3
<u>2. She can form 9 rows of the same length if she gets 11 more chairs.</u>
That means that she is short in 11 chairs to have 9x chairs, or that she has 11 less chairs than 9x chairs. Then she has:
<u>3. Equation:</u>
Then, number of chairs she has is 2x + 3 and, also, 9x - 11, which allows to set the equation:
<u>4. Solve the equation:</u>
Therefore, each row has 2 chairs, and she has 2x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 chairs.
