Answer:

Option D. 13.44

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 47.7g of copper(II) oxide, CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CuO = 47.7 g

Molar mass of CuO = 63.5 + 16 = 79.5 g/mol

Mole of CuO =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CuO = 47.7/79.5

Mole of CuO = 0.6 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuO + H2 —> Cu + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2 to produce 1 mole of Cu and 1 mole of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2 needed to react completely with 0.6 mole of CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of CuO will also react with 0.6 mole of H2.

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.6 mole of H2 at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of H2 occupied 22.4 dm³ at STP.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of H2 will occupy = 0.6 × 22.4 = 13.44 dm³.

Therefore, 13.44 dm³ of H2 is needed for the reaction.

The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.

user100 [1]

Answer:

c 43.38 g

Explanation:

The reaction between MnO2 and HCl can be represented by the following balanced equation:

MnO2 + HCl ---> Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

From the balanced equation, the theoretically required molar ratio of MnO2 to HCl is 1:1, therefore the yields would have been expected to be equal.

For the fact that HCl gives a higher yield (65.02g) than MnO2 (60.25g) according to the problem statement, HCl should be in excess, while the limiting reagent should be MnO2 .

Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl2 will be 60.25 g.

By definition, the percentage yield is given by

% Yield = (Actual Yield) / (Theoretical Yield),

This can be simplified to

Actual Yield = % Yield * Theoretical Yield

Plugging in the given values we have

Actual Yield = 72% * 60.25 = 43.38 g

In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of positive charge.

butalik [34]

Answer:

The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
