Nitrogen makes about 78% of the air we breathe. Nitrogen is extremely important in living things. <span>It forms the building blocks of proteins. We need proteins because they make up our skin and hair. Proteins also help us digest food. We get our nitrogen from plants, and plants get it from bacteria in the soil. Our atmosphere provides life with the nitrogen it needs.</span>

The following experiment was performed: A white solid was added to a test tube containing water. The solid completely dissolved
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Potassium iodide

Explanation:

The white solid introduced into the solution is potassium bromide. This is an ionic solid thus it quickly dissolves in water to yield a colorless solution.

When chlorine is added to this solution, the iodine is displaced since chlorine is above iodine in the electrochemical series.

When mixed with hexane, the color of the solution changes to purple.

Electromagnetic waves can transfer with or without blank
velikii [3]

Answer:

Molecules

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are not like sound waves because they do not need molecules to travel. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel through air, solid objects and even space.

Using the mmoles of (35)-2,2,-dibromo-3,4-dimethylpentane calculated earlier and the molecular weight of the product (962 g/mol)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The yield of the product in gram is \mathsf{{w_P}=0.26 \ gram}

Explanation:

Given that:

the molecular mass weight of the product = 96.2 g/mol

the molecular mass of the reagent (3S)-2,2,-dibromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is 257.997 g

given that the millimoles of the reagent = 2,7 millimoles = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} \ moles

We know that:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Then:

2.7 \times 10^{-3} = \dfrac{ mass}{257.997}

mass = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} \times 257.997

mass = 0.697

Theoretical yield = (number of moles of the product/ number of moles of reactant) × 100

i.e

Theoretical yield = \dfrac{n_P}{n_R}\times 100\%

where;

n_P = \dfrac{w_P}{m_P}    and n_R = \dfrac{w_R}{m_R}

Theoretical yield = \dfrac{(\dfrac{w_P}{m_P})}{(\dfrac{w_R}{m_R})} \times 100\%

Given that the theoretical yield = 100%

Then:

100\% =\dfrac{(\dfrac{w_P}{m_P})}{(\dfrac{w_R}{m_R})} \times 100\%

\dfrac{w_P}{m_P}=\dfrac{w_R}{m_R}

{w_P}=\dfrac{w_R \times m_P}{m_R}

where,

w_P = derived weight of the product

m_P =the molecular mass of the derived product

m_R = the molecular mass of the reagent

w_R = weight in a gram of the reagent

{w_P}=\dfrac{w_R \times m_P}{m_R}

{w_P}=\dfrac{0.697 \times 96.2}{257.997}

\mathsf{{w_P}=0.26 \ gram}

Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. When the reaction was carried out, the calculated theoretical yield for carbon di
jeka94

Answer:

Percent Yield = 94.237%

Explanation:

CO = Carbon Dioxide = Molar Mass 28g/mol

C = Carbon = 12g/mol

O = Oxygen = 16g/mol

Theoretical yield = 93.7 grams

Actual yield = 88.3 grams

Percent yield  = (actual yield /theoretical yield )x100

Percent Yield = (88.3/93.7)x100

Percent Yield = 94.237%
