Your bones contain a large amount of calcium. thats why you drink milk to make them strong!!

What is the percent yield of CuS for the following reaction given that you start with 15.5 g of Na2S and 12.1 g CuSO4? The actua

notka56 [123]

Answer:

(B) 42.1%

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

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

Given: For $Na_2S$

Given mass = 15.5 g

Molar mass of $Na_2S$ = 78.0452 g/mol

Moles of $Na_2S$ = 15.5 g / 78.0452 g/mol = 0.1986 moles

Given: For $CuSO_4$

Given mass = 12.1 g

Molar mass of $CuSO_4$ = 159.609 g/mol

Moles of $CuSO_4$ = 12.1 g / 159.609 g/mol = 0.0758 moles

According to the given reaction:

$Na_2S+CuSO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+CuS$

1 mole of $Na_2S$ react with 1 mole of $CuSO_4$

0.1986 mole of $Na_2S$ react with 0.1986 mole of $CuSO_4$

Available moles of $CuSO_4$ = 0.0758 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $CuSO_4$ is limiting reagent. (0.0758 < 0.1986)

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of $CuSO_4$ gives 1 mole of $CuS$

0.0758 mole of $CuSO_4$ gives 0.0758 mole of $CuS$

Molar mass of $CuS$ = 95.611 g/mol

Mass of $CuS$ = Moles × Molar mass = 0.0758 × 95.611 g = 7.2473 g

Theoretical yield = 7.2473 g

Given experimental yield = 3.05 g

% yield = (Experimental yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 = (3.05/7.2473) × 100 = 42.1 %

Option B is correct.

Give the nuclear symbol (isotope symbol) for the isotope of bromine, Br, that contains 46 neutrons per atom.

Doss [256]

Bromine has 35 protons, and in this case 46 neutrons, so 35 + 46 = 81
Therefore, the symbol is (subscript 35)(superscript 81) Br.

In a capillary tube, how do we tell which side of the meniscus has higher or lower pressure

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A liquid with a sharp contact angle (e.g., water on glass) will form a concave meniscus, and the liquid pressure under the meniscus will be smaller than the atmospheric pressure

Explanation:

The phenomenon of capillarity is produced by the action of the surface tension of the fluids and is observed when a small diameter tube is immersed within the fluid. If we pay attention to the result, we can see that, depending on the fluid, two different things can happen, that the liquid rises through the tube and that the level inside the tube is greater than that of the liquid or that the opposite happens.

The case in which the liquid rises above the tube occurs when the liquid "wets". This occurs when the adhesion forces with the walls exceed those of cohesion between the fluid molecules. In this case, the concave side is out of the fluid.

The case where the level of the liquid inside the tube is lower than the level of the liquid occurs when the liquid does not get wet. We remember that the liquid does not get wet when the cohesion forces are greater than those of adhesion. This phenomenon is called capillary depression and the concave angle is for the liquid side and is said to be convex.
