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.

How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?
Vinvika [58]
Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. This sharing allows each atom to achieve its octet of electrons and greater stability. Methane, CH 4<span>, the simplest organic compound, contains covalent bonds. Carbon has four valence electrons, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing these outer‐shell electrons, carbon and hydrogen complete their valence shells and become more stable. The duet of electrons on the hydrogen is isoelectronic with helium and forms a complete shell.</span>

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}

∴  mass of S in 2 moles of S: w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ

\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J

(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Why burning of fuel is a chemical change give 5 reasons to support your answer
frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. New substances such as carbondioxide and water is formed.

2. There is evolution of gas bubbles. Gases are released.

3. There is either the absorption of energy or release of energy in form of light and energy.

4. The reaction is irreversible i.e it cannot be reversed, it is permanent once the reaction take place.

5. There is a change in both odor and smell.

A chemical change is a change where new substances are formed due to changes in the properties.
