Answer:

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

% yield =76 %

Explanation:

For Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3  = 4.07 g

Molar mass of Al_2O_3  = 101.96 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{4.07\ g}{101.96\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ Al_2O_3= 0.0399\ mol

According to the reaction:

Al_2O_3+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2O

1 mole of Al_2O_3  on reaction produces 1 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

So,  

0.0399 mole of Al_2O_3  on reaction produces 0.0399 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

Moles of Al_2(SO_4)_3  obtained = 0.0399 mole

Molar mass of Al_2(SO_4)_3 = 342.2 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0399= \frac{Mass}{342.2\ g/mol}

Mass= 13.7\ g

<u>Theoretical yield = 13.7 g</u>

The expression for the calculation of the percentage yield for a chemical reaction is shown below as:-

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

Given , Values from the question:-

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

Experimental yield = 10.4 g

Applying the values in the above expression as:-

\%\ yield =\frac{10.4}{13.7}\times 100

<u>% yield =76 %</u>

Witch best describes the storage of the genetic code
natulia [17]

Answer:

The genetic code is stored in the DNA. DNA is a molecule formed by a sugar, deoxyribose, a phosphate group and four combined nitrogen bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). A gene is a part of DNA.

Which of the following reactions have a positive ΔSrxn? Check all that apply.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The reactions that have a <em>positive ΔS rxn </em>are the first and the fourth choices:

  • <em>2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)</em>

  • <em>2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)</em>

Explanation:

<em>ΔS rxn </em>is the change of entropy of the chemical reaction.

ΔS rxn = S after reaction - S before reaction.

Therefore, a positive ΔS rxn  means that the entropy after the reaction is greater than the entropy before the reaction.

You may use some assumptions to predict whether a reaction will lead an increase or decrease of the entropy.

First, assume that all the non-shown conditions, such as temperature and pressure, are constant.

Under that assumption, and from the meaning of entropy as a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system you can predict the sign of the change of entropy.

  • <em><u>2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)</u></em>

        1)  The solid compounds, B(s) in this case, are very ordered and so they have low entropy.

        2) Gas molecules are highly disordered (scattered), and the greater the number of molecules of the gas the larger the entropy, S).

Hence, since the product side shows 3 gas molecules and the reactant side shows 2 gas molecules and 1 solid molecule, you predict that the products have a larger entropy than the reactants, meaning an increase in entropy: <em>ΔS rxn is positive.</em>

  • <em><u>2A(g) + B(g) → C(g)</u></em>

Using the same reasoning, 3 gas molecules in the  reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

  • <u><em>A(g) + B(g) → C(g)</em></u>

Again, 2 gas molecules in the  reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

  • <u><em>2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)</em></u>

With the same reasoing, 5 molecules in the product side, lets you predict that will have more entropy than 4 molecules in the reactant side, and, the entropy will increase: <em>ΔS rxn is positive.</em>

Is the photon is in the IR, UV or visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.Explanation: hope this helps god bless you
