Answer: The stronger conjugate base is, Citric acid.

Explanation :

The value of dissociation constant of Benzoic acid is higher than the citric acid. This means that the acid will readily dissociate and stronger will be the acid. Higher the value of dissociation constant of an acid weaker will be its conjugate base and the lower value of dissociation constant of an acid means that the stronger will be its conjugate base.

Therefore, the stronger conjugate base is Citric acid.

The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

vazorg [7]

C + O2= CO2
$n = \frac{m}{mw}$
$n = \frac{5.4}{12} \\ n = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon$
$n = \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n = \frac{13.6}{44} \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide$
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %

. Find the mass of 0.159 mol silicon dioxide.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

9.55 grams of SiO2

Explanation:

If the mass you mean by grams:

0.159 mole x 60.08 g (Periodic table by adding both elements)

Cancel moles with moles (Original moles with the 1 mol at the bottom of the grams) and gives you:

9.55 grams of SiO2

If you are supposed to put in 2/4 a cup sugar for a recipe, can you just put in a half cup of sugar?

natta225 [31]

I would assume so.

Given $\frac{2}{4}$ , we can simplify the fraction to $\frac{1}{2}$

Both would obtain the same proportions, so I don't see why putting a half cup of sugar would make things any different.

Hope this is the answer you are looking for.
