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%

To minimize the sharp ph shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution
adell [148]
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a  weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.

When a polypeptide is in its native conformation,there are weak interactions between its R groups. However, when it is denatured
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

In the unfolded polypeptide, there are ordered solvation shells of water around the protein

groups. The number of water molecules involved in such ordered shells is reduced when the protein

folds, resulting in higher entropy. Hence, the lower free energy of the native conformation.
