Answer:

2.954 g

Explanation:

One banana contains 422 mg

One banana weighs 118 g

To make our calculations easier, we will convert both unit to the same power, that is both of them will be in g.

422 mg = 422/1000 = 0.422 g

If one banana contains 0.422 g of potassium, then 7 bananas(since he eats 1 per day) will weigh

0.422 * 7 = 2.954 g

Thus, after a week, he would have ingested at least 2.954 g of potassium.

I hope you understand the explanations. Thanks

what is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl reacts with excess NaNo3 to produce 21.2 g of NaCl
olchik [2.2K]
Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100  

The Actual Yield is given in the question as 21.2 g of NaCl.  However, in order to find the theoretical yield, you have to write a balanced equation and use the mole ratio to calculate the mass of NaCl that would be produced.

Balanced Equation:   CuCl + NaNO₃    →    NaCl + CuNO₃

Moles of CuCl = Mass of CuCl ÷ Molar Mass of CuCl
                         =  31.0 g ÷ (63.5 + 35.5)g/mol
                         = 0.31 mol

the mole ratio of CuCl to NaCl is 1  :  1,
∴ if moles of CuCl = 0.31  mol,

then moles of NaCl = 0.31 mol

Now, Mass of NaCl = Moles of NaCl × Molar Mass of NaCl
                                 =  0.31 mol × (23 + 35.5) g/mol
                                 =  18.32 g

⇒ the THEORETICAL Yield of NaCl, in this case, is 18.32 g.

Now, since Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100  

⇒ Percentage Yield of NaCl = (21.2g ÷ 18.32g) × 100  
                                                = 115.7 %


NOTE: Typically, the percentage yield of a reaction is less than 100%, however in a case where the mass of the substance is weighed with impurities, then that mass may be in excess of 100% as seen here.

What is the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, (C2H5)3N, solution? Kb for triethylamine is 5.3 ´ 10-4. Question options: 1) 11.69 2)
blsea [12.9K]
<span>the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, is 11.70
</span>
For triehtylamine, (C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N, the reaction will be
(C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N + H_{2}O ---\ \textgreater \ ( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} + OH^{-}

 and we know, pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH-]

Also, pOH + pH = 14

Now, the Kb value  = 5.3 x 10^-4

And kb =  \frac{( [( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} ]*  OH^{-} )}{[( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N]}

 thus, [OH-] =(5.3 ^ 10-4) ^2 / 0.050

                    =0.00516 M 

Thus, pOH = 2.30 
 pH = 14 - pOH = 11.7

Use the images to explain why carbon forms a bond with four chlorine atoms.
lina2011 [118]

Explanation:

The Lewis dot diagram shows how electrons participate in a bond with Carbon and Chlorine. This is shown by the sticks and the 2 paired electrons near the carbon atom which represent the bonds. These electrons form these bonds because they form octets when they are bonded which most molecules and compounds follow
