Answer:

%age Yield = 66.05 %

Explanation:

In order to check the efficiency of a reaction the %age is calculated so that it can be concluded that either the conditions provided for certain reactions are favourable or not because at large scales reactions with greater %age yields are favoured as it results in high product quantity and hence, greater economical advantages.

The percent yield is given as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Putting values,

%age Yield = 253 g / 383 g × 100

%age Yield = 66.05 %

Hence, for the given reaction the success of the reaction is only 65% hence, steps can be made to improve this yield by modifying the reaction conditions.

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

if you had 16 tiles and each tile cost 80 cents how much change would you dmget back if you paid with 2 100 bills

olasank [31]

16 tiles x 0.80 = $12.80

If you have two 100 dollar bills, you have 200 dollars.

$200 - $12.80 = $187.20

Differentiate the claims made by science from those based on bias.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Scientists seek to eliminate all forms of bias from their research. However, all scientists also make assumptions of a non-empirical nature about topics such as causality, determinism and reductionism when conducting research. Here, we argue that since these 'philosophical biases' cannot be avoided, they need to be debated critically by scientists and philosophers of science.

Explanation:

Scientists are keen to avoid bias of any kind because they threaten scientific ideals such as objectivity, transparency and rationality. The scientific community has made substantial efforts to detect, explicate and critically examine different types of biases (Sackett, 1979; Ioannidis, 2005; Ioannidis, 2018; Macleod et al., 2015). One example of this is the catalogue of all the biases that affect medical evidence compiled by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University (catalogueofbias.org). Such awareness is commonly seen as a crucial step towards making science objective, transparent and free from bias.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of gaseous hydrogen fluoride hf

pychu [463]

The standard state formation reaction is a chemical reaction in which one moles of substance in its standard state is formed from its constituent element in their standard state.All the substance must be in their most stable state at 100kpa and 25 degrees celsius.
therefore for HF is
1/2H2 +1/2F2 =HF
