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 %

Would the amount of solid magnesium increase decrease or stay the same if you added a strong acid to it?
Vlada [557]
Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)

so the amount of solid magnesium decrease  by addition of strong acid to it.

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle
Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of 4.71\times 10^{-15}J . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.624\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of beta particle = 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg

E_k = kinetic energy of the particle = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

If a pharmacist adds 10 ml of purified water to 30 ml of a solution having a specific gravity of 1.30, calculate the specific gr
xxMikexx [17]

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.

Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be \frac{49}{40}=1.225 g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.

What would happen to the block if it had a density of 0.500 kg/L and was placed in the same 100.0 L tank of water?
raketka [301]
I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.

The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.
