Why is one able to walk on red-hot coals without getting one’s feet burned?

Before the person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, the moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet.

You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any hot surface. The water will easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it, like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table.

When an aqueous solution of KBr is electrolyzed,
zhenek [66]
KBr + H2O = KOH + Br2 + H2

So we know that we need a 2 on the left of kbr so it would equal the right Br.

=2KBr
 now put a 2 in front of KOH since we need a 2k on right side

Now we put a 2 infront of H2O which wil make 4 h's and 2 o's

2h2o 

now it is balanced

2KBr + 2H2O = 2KOH + Br2 + H2

If you start with 13 mole H2O and 50 grams of O2 what is the percent yield of H202 if 100 grams of H202 is actually made?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

94.1 %

Explanation:

We firstly determine the equation:

2H₂O + O₂ →  2H₂O₂

2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of oxygen peroxide.

We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:50 g . 1mol /32g = 1.56 mol

Certainly oxygen is the limiting reactant.

2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen.

13 moles of water may react to 13/2 = 6.5 moles. (And we only have 1.56)

As we determine the limiting reactant we continue to the products:

1 mol of O₂ can produce 2 moles of H₂O₂

Then 1.56 moles of O₂ will produce (1.56 . 2) = 3.125 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 3.125 mol . 34 g/mol= 106.25 g

That's the 100% yield or it can be called theoretical yield.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

(100g / 106.25 g) . 100 = 94.1 %
