Answer:the answer is

The uppermost layer of the mantle is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and is quite similar to the crust. The second layer of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is hotter and under more pressure than the lithosphere. Because of the increased heat and pressure, the asthenosphere is softer than the lithosphere.

The lithosphere is mostly made of Earth's outer layer, the crust, and the upper portion of Earth's mantle. The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle "which is also the middle layer of Earth".

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water . If of water is pro

sergeinik [125]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water. If 12.5 g of water is produced from the reaction of 72.6 g of sulfuric acid and 77.0 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of water. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Answer: The percent yield of water in the reaction is 46.85 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For NaOH:

Given mass of NaOH = 77.0 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{77.0g}{40g/mol}=1.925mol$

For sulfuric acid:

Given mass of sulfuric acid = 72.6 g

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}=\frac{72.6g}{98g/mol}=0.741mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

So, 0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482mol$ of NaOH

As, given amount of NaOH is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sulfuric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 1.482 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.482mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1.482mol\times 18g/mol)=26.68g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 12.5 g

Theoretical yield of water = 26.68 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{12.5g}{26.68g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=46.85\%$

Hence, the percent yield of water in the reaction is 46.85 %.

How is North Carolina Central in the jet stream is above the state

xeze [42]

North Carolina winter weather evolves from complex meteorological patterns that are difficult to forecast, and which lead to considerable variability in weather conditions across the state. As a result, the frequency and intensity of winter weather events are highly variable and dependent upon large (synoptic) and small (mesoscale) scale atmospheric patterns.

The jet stream is a narrow band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere. In winter, it separates cold, Arctic air masses from warmer, continental air masses. Certain regions of the jet are also favorable for storm development, while others are not.The orientation and location of the jet stream has large implications on the weather year-round, but even more so in winter because the jet stream is stronger due to a large temperature contrast from the north to south.

i know nothing about science but then it just comes to me and i get it right.

Why is urbanization contributing to pollution? People in urban areas strip the soil of nutrients and make it difficult to grow c

slavikrds [6]

We have to know how urbanization causes pollution.

The reason is: People in urban areas consume more energy, food, and water.

Urbanisation is one of the major problem towards pollution. The smoke from automobiles, factories and power generators make air unhealthy. Also chemical spills and other toxic gases contaminate in air.

The mixing of toxins in the soil is polluting soil which disturbs eco-system.

The high density population in urban area consume more energy , food and water which causes pollution.
