The balanced reaction:

<span>4Na + O2 = 2Na2O

We use the relation of the substances and the amount of sodium to determine the theoretical yield of the reaction. This yield is the amount produced if all the reactant is consumed.

2.55 mol Na (2 mol Na2O / 4 mol Na) ( 61.98 g / 1 mol ) = 79.02 g Na2O

Percent yield = 75.0 / 79.02 x 100 = 94.91%</span>

A sample of a compound contains 3.21 g of sulfur and 11.4 g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Determine the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.C8H18(g) O2(g)→CO2(g) H2O(g)Enter the coefficients for each compound
sashaice [31]

Answer:

2C₈H₁₈(g) + 25O₂(g)→16CO₂(g) + 18H₂O

Explanation:

To balance an equation, the moles of one element on one side of the equation should be the same as those on the other side of the equation. This is because (as a law of thermodynamics), in a chemical reaction, the matter is not destroyed nor created - atoms are only rearranged.

The phrase “the danger is in the dose” is sometimes used when describing poisonous (toxic) chemicals. What does this mean?
Lostsunrise [7]
It means it depends on how much of the chemical you have. For ex. if 1 drop of snake venom might not kill you, but 20 drop could definitely kill you. Hope this helps!
