Methanol (CH3OH) can be produced by the following reaction: CO(g) 1 2H2(g) 88n CH3OH(g) Hydrogen at STP flows into a reactor at

a rate of 16.0 L/min. Carbon monoxide at STP flows into the reactor at a rate of 25.0 L/min. If 5.30 g of methanol is produced per minute, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Explanation:

It is know that, 1 mole of a gas at STP occupies a volume of 22. 4 L. Hence, calculate the number of moles of CO as follows.

     No. of moles of CO being fed per minute = \frac{25.0 L}{22.4 L} per minute

                  = 1.116 moles per minute

No. of moles of H_{2} being fed per minute = \frac{16.0 L}{22.4 L} per minute

                 = 0.714 moles per minute

As, the balanced reaction equation is as follows.

          CO + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{3}OH

Here, H_{2} is the limiting reagent.  Since, 2 moles H_{2} is equivalent to 1 mol methanol produced .

Or,          0.71 moles of H_{2} contains (\frac{1}{2}) \times 0.71 moles

                            = 0.357 moles of methanol.

Therefore, theoretical yield of methanol = 0.357 moles per minute.

Observed yield of methanol = 5.30 gram per minute

                                         = \frac{5.30 gram}{32.04 g/mol}

                                          = 0.165 moles per minute

Nowe, we will calculate the percentage yield as follows.

       % yield = \frac{\text{observed yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \times 100

                      = \frac{0.165 moles/min}{0.357 moles/min} \times 100

                      = 46.32%

Thus, we can conclude that percent yield of the reaction is 46.32%.

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

1. In what ways does an organism’s mode of reproduction impact the diversity of its offspring? (Asexual vs. Sexual)
Katen [24]

Answer:

<u>Asexual reproduction</u> = An exact copy of the reproducer

<u>Sexual reproduction</u> = Genetic variation into the organism if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is transmitted to offspring.

Explanation:

Example of Asexual Reproduction diversity - A red apple has apple seeds. You plant the red apple seeds, and it grows up to be no different than the apple before it.

Sexual reproduction Example of diversity -Two parents are of different ethnicities. The female gets pregnant, but because of the different genetics from both of the parents, the child will inherit their genetics + some random mutation in the DNA.  

This impacts the diversity of the offspring because it can be an exact copy of the reproducer (Asexual), or significantly different with some similarities if the mode of reproduction was sexual.

I really hope this helps you! Please tell me if it did or not. Good luck with your assignment/exam/quiz!
