Magnesium is obtained from sea water. Ca(OH)2 is added to sea water to precipitate Mg(OH)2. The precipitate is filtered and reac

ted with HCl to produce MgCl2. The MgCl2 is electrolyzed to produce Mg and Cl2. If 185 g of magnesium are recovered from 962 g of MgCl2, what is the percent yield for this reaction? Answer in units of percent

Answer is: <span>the percent yield for this reaction is 75,37%.
</span>m(MgCl₂) = 962 g.
n(MgCl₂) = m(MgCl₂) ÷ M(MgCl₂).
n(MgCl₂) = 962 g ÷ 95,21 g/mol.
m(MgCl₂) = 10,1 mol.
n(MgCl₂) : n(Mg) = 1 : 1.
n(Mg) = 10,1 mol.
m(Mg) = 10,1 mol · 24,3 g/mol.
m(Mg) = 245,43 g.
ω(Mg) = 185 g ÷ 245,43 g · 100% = 75,37%.

Answer:

The percentage yield of magnessium is 19.231 %

Explanation:

The magnesium from sea water is added to Ca(OH)2 to precipitate Mg(OH)2. This magnesium hydroxide is then reacted with HCl as follows ;

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

molar mass of MgCl2 = 24.305 + 35.453 × 2 =  24. 305 + 70.906 = 95.211 g

The equation is balanced now . And 1 mole or 95.11 g of MgCl2 was produced . The magnesium chloride was electrolyzed   to produce Mg and Cl2.

The total mass of MgCl2 obtained = 962 grams

mass of the Mg obtained  = 185 grams

The percentage yield for the magnesium  = 185 / 962 × 100 = 18500/962

The percentage yield for the magnesium  = 185 / 962 × 100 = 19.231 %

The percentage yield of magnessium is 19.231 %

What determines an object’s ability to float?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

For the balanced equation shown below, how many moles of o2 will react with 0.3020 moles of co2? 2c2h5oh + 6o2 → 4co2 + 6h2o que
MariettaO [177]
The balanced reaction for combustion is as follows ;
2C₂H₅OH + 6O₂ ---> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
the stoichiometry of C₂H₅OH to O₂ is 2:6
that means 2 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6 mol of O₂.
when 1 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6/2 mol of O₂,
then 0.3020 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with - 6/2 x 0.3020
therefore number of O₂ moles reacted = 0.91 mol
