Answer:

The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈ while the percentage yield is 83.77%

Explanation:

Here we have

Propane gas with molecular formula C₃H₈, molar mass  = 44.1 g/mol combining with O₂ as follows

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Therefore, 1 mole of C₃H₈  combines with 5 moles of O₂ to produce 3 moles CO₂ and 4 moles of H₂O

Mass of propane = 0.1240 kg = 124.0 g

Number of moles of propane = mass of propane/(molar mass of propane)

The number of moles of propane = 124/44.1 = 2.812 moles

The molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 0.3110 kg = 311.0 g

Therefore, number of moles of CO₂ = mass of CO₂/(molar mass of CO₂)

The number of moles of CO₂ = 311.0 kg/ 44.01 g/mol = 7.067 moles

Therefore, since 1 mole of propane produces 3 moles of CO₂, 2.812 moles of propane will produce 3 × 2.812 moles or 8.44 moles of CO₂

Therefore;

The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈, since the oxygen is in excess

Hence

The \ percentage \ yield = \frac{Actual \, yield}{Theoretical \, yield} \times 100 = \frac{7.067}{8.44} \times 100 = 83.77 \%

The percentage yield = 83.77%.

Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Name the following ionic compounds, keeping in mind that a transition metal cation must include its charge. ____________________
Lilit [14]

Answer :

(a) The name for TiO_2 is titanium(IV) oxide.

(b) The name for BaCl_2 is barium chloride.

(c) The name for CuCl_3 is copper(III) chloride.

(d) The name for KI is potassium iodide.

(e) The name for SrCl_2 is strontium chloride.

(f) The name for CuBr_2 is copper(II) bromide.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

3. In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

(a) TiO_2

TiO_2 is an ionic compound because titanium element is a metal and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on tin is (+4) and the the charge on oxygen is (-2). Thus, the name for TiO_2 is titanium(IV) oxide.

(b) BaCl_2

BaCl_2 is an ionic compound because barium element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on barium is (+2) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for BaCl_2 is barium chloride.

(c) CuCl_3

CuCl_3 is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on copper is (+3) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for CuCl_3 is copper(III) chloride.

(d) KI

KI is an ionic compound because potassium element is a metal and iodine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on potassium is (+1) and the the charge on iodine is (-1). Thus, the name for KI is potassium iodide.

(e) SrCl_2

SrCl_2 is an ionic compound because strontium element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on strontium is (+2) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for SrCl_2 is strontium chloride.

(f) CuBr_2

CuBr_2 is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and bromine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on copper is (+2) and the the charge on bromine is (-1). Thus, the name for CuBr_2 is copper(II) bromide.

How many grams of oxygen gas (02) are needed to completely react with 9.30 moles
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

223 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen gas needed, you need to (1) convert moles Al to moles O₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients) and then (2) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via the molar mass). When writing your ratios/conversions, the desired unit should be in the numerator in order to allow for the cancellation of the previous unit. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (9.30 moles) has 3 sig figs.

4 Al + 3 O₂ ----> 2 Al₂O₃
^         ^

Molar Mass (O₂): 32.0 g/mol

9.3 moles Al          3 moles O₂              32.0 g
-------------------  x  ---------------------  x  --------------------  =  223 g O₂
                              4 moles Al               1 mole
