Answer:

PNCl_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when determining empirical formulas by knowing the by-mass percent, we first must assume the percentages as masses so we can compute the moles of each element:

n_P=\frac{26.73g}{30.97g/mol}=0.863mol\\\\n_N=\frac{12.09g}{14.01g/mol}=0.863mol\\\\n_C_l=\frac{61.18g}{35.45g/mol}=1.726mol

Now, for the determination of the subscript of each element in the empirical formula, we divide the moles by the fewest moles (P or N):

P=\frac{0.863mol}{0.863mol}=1\\\\N= \frac{0.863mol}{0.863mol}=1\\\\Cl=\frac{1.726mol}{0.863mol}2

Thus, the empirical formula is:

PNCl_2

9) Consider the reaction of C6H6 Br2 C6H5Br HBr a. What is the theoretical yield of C6H5Br if 42.1 g of C6H6 react with 73.0 g o
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

71.7 g of C₆H₅Br are produced at the theoretical yield.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C₆H₆ + B₂ → C₆H₅Br + HBr

This is an easy excersie, stoichiometry is 1:1

We determine moles of reactants:

42.1 g / 78g/mol = 0.540 moles of benzene

73 g / 159.80 g/mol = 0.457 moles of hydrogen bromide

Certainly, the HBr is the limiting reactant, because I need 0.540 moles of HBr for 0.540 moles of benzene and I only have, 0.457 moles.

0.457 moles of HBr will produce 0.457 of bromobenzene, at the 100 % yield reaction (theoretical yield)

We convert the moles to mass: 0.457 g . 157 g/mol = 71.7 g

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

In this owl pellet dissection,  BONES from a pellet provided information on the PREY that each owl ate. Some of the bones in the pellet were common to all three owls and some of the bones were unique to particular prey. Identifying the unique prey allowed us to determine which ENVIRONMENT each owl was from.

Explanation:

1st -BONES

2nd - PREY

3rd - ENVIRONMENT
