Answer:Potassium

Explanation:

Magnesium is in the second column and therefore has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose two electrons and form a +2 ion. Potassium is in the first column and therefore has 1 electron in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose one electron and form a +1 ion.

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and

Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

$Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%$

Then,

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%$

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%$

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.

The Sun heats land and water, how is this related to wind and ocean currents?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

"The sun warms up parts of the oceans. Warm waters rise just like warm air rises. So, as the warmer ocean waters begin to rise in a particular area, the cooler ocean waters from a different area will move in to replace the warmer ocean waters, and this creates our ocean currents."

Hope this is helpful :)

Is each of these statements true? If not, explain why.(g) The rate of a reaction increases as the reaction proceeds.

Elina [12.6K]

The rate of a reaction rises as it progresses. The answer is false

<h3>What causes a reaction's rate to increase?</h3>

Generally speaking, raising the temperature of the reaction system, raising the concentration of a reactant in solution, and raising the surface area of a solid reactant will all raise the rate of a reaction. A catalyst can be added to the reaction mixture to speed up a process as well.

As reactants are used up, reactions often get slower with time. Catalysts are substances that, when added to a process, speed it up even if they are not themselves reactants.
