Answer:

16-fold dilution.

Explanation:

A serial dilution is any dilution where the concentration decrease by the same quantity in each successive step. So, for a 2-fold dilution, the concentration decrease 1/2, it means that if we have a sample with 10 M of concentration, after a 2-fold dilution it will be 5 M. For the next step it will be 1/2 of 5= 2.5 M, and successively.

Then, we just multiply the factor for each dilution. After 4 serial dilutions:

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

So, it would be a 16-fold dilution in the end.

The answer should be A, flammability.

The isotopes of the same element would result in the same chemical properties, as the number of protons and electrons are not changed, meanwhile, the physical properties would be slightly different with each other because they have different numbers of electrons.

Out of the 4 options, only option A is a chemical property. Chemical properties are the properties of an element reacting with other substances that creates new substances at the end. While physical properties are the ones that does not produces new substances or any reactions. They are usually observable and measurable.

Therefore, since flammability is a chemical property, the answer is A.

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and

Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

$Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%$

Then,

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%$

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%$

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.
