Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

What is the percent yield of a reaction in which 51.5 g of tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3) reacts with excess hydrogen gas to produce m

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

Explanation:

$WO_3+3H_2\rightarrow W+3H_2O$

Volume of water obtained from the reaction , V= 5.76 mL

Mass of water = m = Experimental yield of water

Density of water = d = 1.00 g/mL

$M=d\times V = 1.00 g/mL\times 5.76 mL=5.76 g$

Theoretical yield of water : T

Moles of tungsten(VI) oxide = $\frac{51.5 g}{232 g/mol}=0.2220 mol$

According to recation 1 mole of tungsten(VI) oxide gives 3 moles of water, then 0.2220 moles of tungsten(VI) oxide will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.2220 mol=0.6660 mol$

Mass of 0.6660 moles of water:

0.666 mol × 18 g/mol = 11.988 g

Theoretical yield of water : T = 11.988 g

To calculate the percentage yield of reaction , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{m}{T}\times 100=\frac{5.76 g}{11.988 g}\times 100=48.05\%$

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

What are inside of cars so hot when left in the sun

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

metalllll/material

Explanation:

you know how dark shirts absorb the sun heat well its practically the same just with material.

"Why is the inside of a car so hot after sitting in the sun?

Cars warm up in the sun due to the greenhouse effect: Sunlight passing through the windows into the car is mostly absorbed by interior surfaces, then radiated back to the air as heat. ... “As a consequence, the inside of the car will warm because radiation is coming in but not much is going back out.”Jul 27, 2009

Curiosities: Does a dark-colored car heat up more in the sun than a ..."

10. An atom that has 13 protons and 13 electrons is a neutral aluminum (Al) atom. An atom that has 13 protons and 10 electrons i

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

For example,

Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.

While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".

Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

After the glorious appearance of Full Moon, the lunar shape starts to wane, meaning it gets smaller. It's visible later at night and into the early morning, and we see a steadily shrinking shape of the lunar surface that's being lit up.
