Answer:

Y=48.6\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can consider the following chemical reaction for the oxidation of copper which only occurs at high temperatures:

2Cu+O_2\rightarrow 2CuO

In such a way, for 0.032 grams of copper, the following grams of copper (II) oxide (black product) are yielded:

m_{CuO}=0.032gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.546gCu} *\frac{2molCuO}{2molCu}*\frac{79.546gCuO}{1molCuO}  =0.078gCuO

Therefore, the percent yield is:

Y=\frac{0.038g}{0.078g}*100\%\\ \\Y=48.6\%

Best regards.

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

XCl_{6}

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is SCl_{6}

Why does pumping more air into a basketball increse the pressure inside the ball?
scoundrel [369]
Think of it as a balloon when you pump air into it it grows bigger but, if you put too much air into it what happens it pops because the pressure was too much for the balloon to withhold. That's the same with a basketball when you pump air into it the pressure pushing on the material increases.    <span />
