4. Calculation of theoretical yield and percent yield You balanced this reaction earlier: Mg(s) + HCl (aq) H2 (g) + MgCl2 (aq) Y

ou used an excess amount of HCl (aq) for the reaction, therefore Mg is your limiting reactant. From the limiting reactant, calculate the theoretical yield of H2(g) you expected to get.

Answer:

Mg(s) +<em> 2</em> HCl (aq) →  H₂(g) + MgCl₂

0.415g of H₂(g) <em>-Assuming mass of Mg(s) = 10.0g-</em>

Explanation:

Balancing the reaction:

Mg(s) + HCl (aq) →  H₂(g) + MgCl₂

There are in products two atoms of H and Cl, the balancing equation is:

Mg(s) +<em> 2</em> HCl (aq) →  H₂(g) + MgCl₂

<em>Assuming you add 10g of Mg(s) -Limiting reactant-</em>

<em />

10g of Mg are (Atomic mass: 24.305g/mol):

10g × (1 mol / 24.305g) = <em>0.411 moles of Mg</em>

<em>-Theoretical yield is the amount of product you would have after a chemical reaction occurs completely-</em>

Assuming theoretical yield, as 1 mole of Mg(s) produce 1 mole of H₂(g), theoretical yield of H₂(g) is 0.411moles H₂(g). In grams:

0.411mol H₂(g) × (1.01g / mol) = <em>0.415g of H₂(g)</em>

lora16 [44]
Hey there!:


density  = 3.51 g/cm³

Volume = 0.0270 cm³

Therefore:

D = m / V

3.51 = m / 0.0270

m = 3.51 * 0.0270

m = 0.09477 g

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z
Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>

Calculate the percent ionic, the percent covalent, and the bond length (in picometers) of a chemical bond between phosphorus and
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Phosphorus:

Atomic radius = 109 pm

Covalent radius = 106 pm

Ionic radius = 212 pm

Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19  

Selenium:

Atomic radius = 122 pm

Covalent radius = 116 pm

Ionic radius = 198 pm

Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55  

The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;

Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4}  \right ] \%

Where:

Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36

Therefore;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4}  \right ] \% = 4.3 \%

Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%

the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%

The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;

The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.

The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.

Where does the rest of the energy “lost” go? <br> (In food webs)
Blizzard [7]

Explanation:

The rest of the energy is passed on as food to the next level of the food chain. The figure at the left shows energy flow in a simple food chain. Notice that at each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
