Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Complete the chart. (Remember to enter a "0" if necessary.) Atomic Number: 10 1s: 2s: 2p: 3s: 3p: 4s: 3d: 4p: 5s:

First, we determine how many electrons can each subshell hold:
s can hold 2 electrons
p can hold 6 electrons
d can hold 10 electrons
f can hold 14 electrons

Second, we start distributing the 10 electrons on the orbitals of subshells based on the arrangement shown in the question :
1s will hold 2 electrons
2s will hold 2 electrons
2p will hold 6 electrons
All other orbitals will will hold zero electrons as the 10 were distributed among the first 2

Answer: 1s: 2
              2s: 2
              2p: 6

A bucket contains 15.0 L of seawater. The density of seawater is 1.027 g/mL.
Ad libitum [116K]
D=m/V
1.027g/mL=m/15.0L
1.027g/mL(1000mL/L)=1027g/L=m/15.0L
m=1027g/L15.0L
m=15405g

8. Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?
elixir [45]
It’s not C.The answer is B.Because as you know,Ionic bonding is the electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive and negative ions.It is a transfer of electrons between the metals(positively charged ions) and non-metals (negatively charged ions)

—->As for this case,iron is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal based on the periodic table.Hence the answer is B.
