Here's what I get

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.

Three Stoichiometry Questions

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of aluminium = 2.5 g

Mass of oxygen = 2.5 g

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.5 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.5 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.09 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.5 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.08 mol

Now we will compare the moles of aluminium oxide with aluminium and oxygen.

Al ; Al₂O₃

4 : 2

0.09 : 2/4×0.09 = 0.045

O₂ : Al₂O₃

3 : 2

0.08 : 2/3 ×0.08 = 0.053

The number of moles of aluminium oxide produced by Al are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of aluminium oxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.045 × 101.96 g/mol

Mass = 4.6 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield ×100

Percent yield = 3.5 g / 4.6 ×100

Percent yield = 76.1%

Given data:

Mass of copper produced = 3.47 g

Mass of aluminium = 1.87 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 1.87 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.07 mol

Now we will compare the moles of copper with aluminium.

Al ; Cu

2 : 3

0.07 : 3/2×0.09 = 0.105

Mass of copper:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.105 × 63.55 g/mol

Mass = 6.67 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield ×100

Percent yield = 3.47 g / 6.67 × 100

Percent yield = 52%

Identify the location of reduction in an electrochemical cell. group of answer choices the electrode the anode the socket the ca

stepladder [879]

The location of reduction in an electrochemical cell is called the anode.

An electrochemical cell ( galvanic cell ) is generate electric energy from chemical reactions. In galvanic cell species ( for example zinc and zinc cations ) from one half-cell lose electrons ( oxidation ) and species from other half-cell ( for example copper and copper cations ) gain electrons ( reduction ). Electric current is generated due to the flow of electrons from the anode that undergoes an oxidation reaction to the cathode which has a reduction reaction in the circuit of an outer wire circuit.

. Why does the element with the higher atomic number have a lower ionization energy than the element with the lower atomic numbe

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

first ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atom

so when atomic no increase across aperiod the ionization energy become lower

it's my opinion am not sure ok
