One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

3)·2H2O(s) → 3Na2CO3(s) + CO2(
g. + 5H2O(
g. When 1.00 metric ton (1.00 × 103 kg) of trona is decomposed, 0.650 metric ton of Na2CO3 is recovered. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
 2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂<span>O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between </span>Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s)  and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
                                                                                     = 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
                                                         = 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
                                                         = 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x \frac{3}{2}
                                                     = 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
                                        = 703540.02 g
                                        = 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ =  703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
                            = 92.34%

In a series circuit, electrons only flow along one path. Given this information, which of the following is an advantage of serie
Ivenika [448]

Answer: D. Series circuits are simpler than parallel circuits.

Explanation:

In series circuit, all the components are connected in single path of current flow.

If one part of the circuit breaks, complete circuit would break and all the other parts also would not operate.

The voltage is not same everywhere. It is different across each component.

In series circuit, net resistance is more as resistance of all the components connected in series are added up.

So, the only advantage of a series circuit is that is simpler than the parallel circuits. Thus, the correct option is D.

How is it possible to change the shape of your molecular models without breaking any of the covalent bonds?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A molecule's shape strongly affects its physical properties and the way it interacts with other molecules, and plays an important role in the way that biological molecules (proteins, enzymes, DNA, etc.) interact with each other.
