Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

h solid carbon to form liquid silicon and carbon monoxide gas. In an industrial preparation of silicon, 155.0 kg of SiO2 is allowed to react with 79.0 kg of carbon to produce 66.2 kg of silicon.

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
Nataly [62]

Answer:

E° = 1.24 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq) | Ag(s)

According to this notation, Fe is in the anode (where oxidation occurs) and Ag is in the cathode (where reduction occurs). The corresponding half-reactions are:

Anode: Fe(s) ⇒ Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cathode: Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E° = 0.80 V - (-0.44 V) = 1.24 V

What is the mole fraction of O2O2 in a mixture of 15.1 gg of O2O2, 8.19 gg of N2N2, and 2.46 gg of H2H2
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Mole fraction O₂=  0.43

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the moles of gas/ total moles.

Let's determine the moles of each:

Moles O₂ → 15.1 g / 16 g/mol = 0.94

Moles N₂  →  8.19 g / 14 g/mol = 0.013

Moles H₂  → 2.46 / 2 g/mol = 1.23

Total moles = 2.183

Mole fraction O₂= 0.94 / 2.183 → 0.43

How to separate a solid for a solution
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Evaporation is the method of separating a solid (solute) from a homogeneous solution.

in this method, the solution is heated until the solvent gets evaporated in the form of vapor and the solute is left behind as residue.

Explain why even though it may be sunny outside its not as warm during the summer ​
Lapatulllka [165]

For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.
