Answer:

The answer to your question is 98.9 %

Explanation:

Data

moles of methane = CH₄ = 2.0

excess air

Percent yield = ?

mass of CO₂ = 87 g

- Balanced chemical reaction

                CH₄  +  2O₂   ⇒  CO₂  +  2H₂O

      Reactants     Elements       Products

             1                    C                   1

             4                   H                   2

             4                   O                   2

- Calculate the molar mass of CH₄

CH₄ = 12 + 4 = 16 g

- Convert the moles to mass

                     16 g of CH₄ ----------------- 1 mol

                       x                -----------------  2 moles

                       x = (2 x 16) / 1

                       x = 32 g of CH₄

-Calculate the theoretical formation of CO₂

                     16 g of CH₄ ----------------- 44 g of CO₂

                     32 g of CH₄ ----------------  x

                            x = (32 x 44) / 16

                            x = 88 g of CO₂

-Calculate the Percent yield

     Percent yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100

     Percent yield = 87/88 x 100

    Percent yield = 98.9 %

Tommy was walking at a rate of 4
Helga [31]
A positive acceleration indicates that the object sped up. This means that if you compare the first speed to the second, the second speed should be higher. 

A negative acceleration indicates that the object has slowed down. This means that if you compare the first speed to the second, the second speed should be lower.

If an acceleration is 0, it means that it neither slowed down nor sped up.

Now let us analyze your problem by listing down the speed and the time:

At noon: 4 mi/hr 
12:30 :   6 mi/hr
2:30   :   2 mi/hr

From noon to 12:30, you will notice that there is an increase in speed. This means that Tommy had a positive acceleration. (Rules out D.)

From 12:30 to 2:30, there is a decrease in speed. This would indicate that Tommy had a negative acceleration. (Rules out C.) 

No speed was the same, so acceleration was never 0. (Rules out A.)

From the assumptions above, we can now deduce that the answer is B.

C3H8 and CH4 are 2 compounds made from the same elements. This is an example of which law? A) Law of Conservation of Mass b) Law
Sphinxa [80]

C3H8 and CH4 are two compounds made from the same two elements, C and H. The ratios of C and H for both are round numbers.

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

So the ans is C) Law of Multiple Proportions

I need help with this one pls, ty! ASAP
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. A measure of how quickly velocity is changing is the acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. The rate at which a body is changing its velocity is known as the acceleration.

It is measured in the unit m/s²

2. Speed in a given direction is the velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity which measures the magnitude of motion in a specific direction. It is simply speed in a given direction.

When we say a motorcycle travels at the rate of 5m/s due east, we are describing the velocity of such body.

3. Force that resists moving one object against another is the friction

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It prevents a body from moving.

4. Measure of the pull of gravity on an object Weight

Weight is a measure of the amount of gravitational force on a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

         W = mg

W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity

5 Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is inertia

Inertia is the tendency of body to resist change in motion. It is the ability of a body to remain in a perpetual state of rest.

6 Size is the magnitude
