Theoretical yield is the amount supposedly produced by the reaction if it was complete. The balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO<span>(g) = 2 Fe(s) + 3 </span>CO<span>2(g)
</span>
We use the amounts given for the reactants as the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:

13.4 g Fe2O3 ( 1 mol / <span>159.69 g ) = 0.08 mol
</span>12.3 g CO ( 1 mol / 28.01 ) = 0.44 mol

Therefore, the limiting reactant would be Fe2O3. We use this for the theoretical yield.

0.08 mol ( 2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3 ) = 0.16 mol Fe (THEORETICAL YIELD)
8.23 g ( 1 mol / 55.85 g ) = 0.15 mol Fe ( ACTUAL YIELD)

Percent yield = 0.15 / 0.16 x 100 = 93.75%

Now molecules: Choose... molecules of H 2 + Choose... molecules of O 2 → Choose... molecules of H 2 O
kirill [66]
Consider this balanced chemical equation:
2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
We interpret this as “two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to make two molecules of water.” The chemical equation is balanced as long as the coefficients are in the ratio 2:1:2. For instance, this chemical equation is also balanced:
100 H2 + 50 O2 → 100 H2O
This equation is not conventional—because convention says that we use the lowest ratio of coefficients—but it is balanced. So is this chemical equation:
5,000 H2 + 2,500 O2 → 5,000 H2O
Again, this is not conventional, but it is still balanced. Suppose we use a much larger number:
12.044 × 1023 H2 + 6.022 × 1023 O2 → 12.044 × 1023 H2O
These coefficients are also in the ratio of 2:1:2. But these numbers are related to the number of things in a mole: the first and last numbers are two times Avogadro’s number, while the second number is Avogadro’s number. That means that the first and last numbers represent 2 mol, while the middle number is just 1 mol. Well, why not just use the number of moles in balancing the chemical equation?

Where are electrons most likely to be found in the cloud?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

nucleus

Explanation:

Electrons are found in clouds that surround the nucleus of an atom. Those clouds are specific distances away from the nucleus and are generally organized into shells. Because electrons move so quickly, it is impossible to see where they are at a specific moment in time.

Describe the atomic theory of atoms
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: Below

                   |

                   |

                   ^

Explanation:

The atomic theory is that all matter is made up of tiny units or particles called atoms. This theory describes the characteristics, structure and behavior of atoms as well as the components that make up atoms. Furthermore, the theory states that all elements are made up of identical atoms.

The atomic theory is a theory in the study of chemistry that states atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit the nucleus.

According to the atomic theory, all elements contain atoms. The difference is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in that atom. For instance, hydrogen contains one proton and one electron but no neutrons. Oxygen, on the other hand contains eight protons, electrons and neutrons. The difference in protons, electrons and neutrons determines the stability and the other properties of any particular element. These elements are grouped according to their atomic masses, which depend on the number of protons and neutrons in each of the atoms. Because oxygen has more protons and neutrons than hydrogen, it has a higher atomic mass.

What alkene reacts the fastest with HBr?
Rasek [7]
The first step in the reaction is the double bond of the Alkene going after the H of HBr. This protonates the Alkene via Markovnikov's rule, and forms a carbocation. The stability of this carbocation dictates the rate of the reaction. 

<span>So to solve your problem, protonate all your Alkenes following Markovnikov's rule, and then compare the relative stability of your resulting carbocations. Tertiary is more stable than secondary, so an Alkene that produces a tertiary carbocation reacts faster than an Alkene that produces a secondary carbocation.

Hydrogen and iodine react to form hydrogen iodide, like this: H_2 (g) + I_2 (g) rightarrow 2 HI(g) Also, a chemist finds that at
telo118 [61]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Hydrogen and iodine react to form hydrogen iodide, like this:

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

Also, a chemist finds that at a certain temperature the equilibrium mixture of hydrogen, iodine, and hydrogen iodide has the following composition:

Compound            Pressure at equilibrium

H_2                                   61.8 atm

I_2                                    46.5 atm

HI                                  52.3 atm

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction is, 0.952

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction :

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

The expression of K_p for above reaction follows:

K_p=\frac{(P_{HI})^2}{P_{H_2}\times P_{I_2}}

We are given:

P_{H_2}=61.8atm

P_{I_2}=46.5atm

P_{HI}=52.3atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_p=\frac{(52.3)^2}{61.8\times 46.5}\\\\K_p=0.952

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction is, 0.952
