Answer:

Percent yield = 22.8 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Numbers of moles  copper = 0.0970 moles

Mass of copper(I) sulfide = 1.76 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Cu + S ⇒ Cu2S

Step 3:  Calculate moles of Cu2S

For 2 moles Cu we need 1 mol S to produce 1 mol Cu2S

For 0.0970 moles Cu we'll hace 0.0970 / 2 = 0.0485 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass of Cu2S

Mass Cu2s = moles Cu2S * molar mass Cu2S

Mass Cu2S = 0.0485 moles * 159.16 g/mol

Mass Cu2S = 7.72 grams

Step 5: Calculate percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield/ theoretical mass) * 100%

Percent yield = (1.76 grams / 7.72 grams)*100%

Percent yield = 22.8 %

The correct answer is C. An example of measurement bias in scientific measurement, of the available answers, would be a balance that always reads 0.1g. The other possible answers are all examples of devices or measurement techniques that would help a scientist to avoid measurement bias, rather than contributing to it.

Answer:

Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.

As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.
