Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 104 \%}}

Explanation:

Percent ratio is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. The formula is below.

Percent \ Yield} = \frac{{Actual \ Yield}}{{Theoretical \ Yield}} \times 100 \%

The reaction of sodium and chlorine should theoretically yield 12.5 grams, but the actual yield was 13.0 grams.

  • actual yield= 13.0 g
  • theoretical yield = 12.5 g

Substitute these values into the formula.

Percent \ Yield} = \frac{{13.0 \ g }}{{12.5 \ g}} \times 100 \%

Divide.

Percent \ Yield} = 1.04 \times 100 \%

Multiply.

Percent \ Yield= 104 \%

For this reaction, the percent yield is 104%

If the density of pure water is 0.9922 g/mL at 40 ºC, calculate its theoretical molarity at that temperature. Report to 4 sig fi
OleMash [197]
Answer is: theoretical molarity of water is 55.1222 mol/L.<span>
d(H</span>₂O) = 0.9922 g/mL.
M(H₂O) = 2 · Ar(H) + Ar(O) · g/mol.
M(H₂O) = 2 + 16 · g/mol = 18 g/mol.
c(H₂O) = d(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).
c(H₂O) = 0.9922 g/mL ÷ 18 g/mol.
c(H₂O) = 0.0551 mol/mL.
c(H₂O) = 0.0551 mol/mL · 1000 mL/L = 55.1222 mol/L.

Chromium-51 is a radioisotope that is used to assess the lifetime of red blood cells The half-life of chromium-51 is 27.7 days.
8090 [49]

Answer:

11.9g remains after 48.2 days

Explanation:

All isotope decay follows the equation:

ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

<em>Where [A] is actual amount of the isotope after time t, k is decay constant and [A]₀ the initial amount of the isotope</em>

We can find k from half-life as follows:

k = ln 2 / Half-Life

k = ln2 / 27.7 days

k = 0.025 days⁻¹

t = 48.2 days

[A]  = ?

[A]₀ = 39.7mg

ln [A] = -0.025 days⁻¹*48.2 days + ln [39.7mg]

ln[A] = 2.476

[A] = 11.9g remains after 48.2 days

What is the proper way of collection, preservation and transition of hair?​
Murrr4er [49]
An investigator can collect hairs they observe visually (with tweezers or by hand), and they can also use clear tape to lift non-visible hair from a variety of surfaces, such as clothing. Other methods of hair sample collection include combing and clipping methods.
