Dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O is sometimes used as a powerful chlorinating agent in research. It can be produced by passing chlorine

gas over heated mercury (II) oxide according to the following equation: HgO + Cl2 ????HgCl2 + Cl2O What is the percent yield, if the quantity of the reactants is sufficient to produce 0.86g of Cl2O but only 0.71 g is obtained?

Answer:

% yield =  82.5%

Explanation:

HgO + 2Cl₂ →  HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

Our reactants are:

  • HgO and Cl₂

Our products are:

  • HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:

% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%

When 28 g of nitrogen and 6 g of hydrogen react, 34 g of ammonia are produced. if 100 g of nitrogen react with 6 g of hydrogen,
vampirchik [111]
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3
When 100g of N2 , no of moles of N2= 100/(28)=3.57 mol
no. of moles of h2 = 6/(2)=3mol
Therefore h2 is limiting reagent.
no. of moles of ammonia= 3/3*2=2moles
mass of ammonia produced= 2 mol * (14+3)= 34g

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<u>Why is it important to keep the two sides of an equation balanced when solving?</u>

If two expressions are equal to each other, and you add the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation will remain equal. When you solve an equation, you find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

<u>What other properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations?</u>
