Answer:

A. Theoretical yield of KCl is 36.49g

B. Percentage yield of KCl is 90.4%

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2KCLO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2

Next, we shall determine the mass KClO3 that decomposed and the mass KCl produce from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of KClO3 = 39 + 35.5 + (16x3) = 122.5g/mol

Mass of KClO3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 122.5 = 245g

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

Mass of KCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 74.5 = 149g.

From the balanced equation above,

245g of KClO3 decomposed to produce 149g of KCl.

A. Determination of the theoretical yield of KCl. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

245g of KClO3 decomposed to produce 149g of KCl.

Therefore, 60g of KClO3 will decompose to produce = (60 x 149)/245 = 36.49g of KCl.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of KCl is 36.49g

B. Determination of the percentage yield of KCl. This can be obtaine as follow:

Actual yield = 33g

Theoretical yield = 36.49g

Percentage yield =..?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 33/36.49 x 100

Percentage yield of KCl = 90.4%

What is the charge of an atom after it gains an electron during the formation of a bond?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. One negative charge

Explanation:

During the formation of a bond, if an atom gains an electron, after that it will be left with a negative charge compared to the atom before the bond is formed. This is because in these types of bonds, which are ionic bonds, there is a transfer of electrons between atoms, there will be one or more atoms that yield electrons that will be captured by another and other atoms that gain them, and the difference of charges produced by this transfer of electrons, will cause the union to occur due to the attraction between electrostatic forces.

If you have a neutral atom before joining, and it gains an electron to form a bond, it will have one electron more than its initial state (in the initial state, the number of protons and electrons is the same, because the atoms they are electrically neutral), so having an extra electron will make it have a negative charge, since there will be a difference between the number of protons and electrons that the atom possesses. This is why the correct answer is D.

In the case of response A and B, the atom could only remain positively charged if it loses electrons, but as in this case it wins, they are not correct.

The answer C is also not correct because only one electron wins, so that it is left with two negative charges, it should gain two electrons during the bond formation.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe

Viktor [21]

There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons; density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.

If the solution feel slippery and has a pH of 12, what is the solution

Ad libitum [116K]

If the solution feels slippery and has a pH of 12 that means the solution is a base. Common base solutions are soapy water, bleach, oven cleaner and liquid drain cleaner.
