The % yield of Ca(OH)₂ : 62.98%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

mass CaO= 4.2 g

mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{4.2}{56,0774 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.075

mol Ca(OH)₂ based on mol CaO

mol ratio CaO : Ca(OH)₂,= 1 : 1, so mol Ca(OH)₂ = 0.075

mass Ca(OH)₂(MW=74,093 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.075\times 74,093 g/mol\\\\mass=5.557~g

% yield :

\tt =\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{3.5}{5.557}\times 100\%\\\\=62.98\%

Given pH = 3.50 Find: [H3O+] and [OH-] Is this acidic, basic or neutral?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

           pH = 3.50

Unknown:

    concentration of [H₃0⁺] = ?

    concentration of [OH⁻] = ?

Solution:

In order to find the unknown, we use some simple expressions which best explains the pH scale and the equilibrium systems of aqueous solutions.

         pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]

         [H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀ (-pH) = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-3.5}

          [H₃O⁺] = 3.2 x 10⁻⁴moldm⁻³

       

For the  [OH⁻]:

       we use : pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

     Recall: pOH + pH = 14

                  pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.5 = 10.5

  Now we plug the value of pOH into pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

                                   [OH⁻] = 10^{-pOH}

                        [OH⁻] = 10^{-10.5} = 3.2 x 10⁻¹¹moldm⁻³

The solution is acidic as the concentration of H₃0⁺ is more than that of the OH⁻ ions.

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

In a labratory activity the density of a sample of vanadium is determined to be 6.9g/cm^3 at room temperature. what is the perce
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

c : 13%

Explanation:

Data Give:

Experimental density of vanadium = 6.9 g/cm³

percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula used to calculate % error

  % error = [experimental value -accepted value/accepted value] x 100

The reported accepted density value for vanadium = 6.11 g/cm³

Put value in the above equation

                  % error = [ 6.9 - 6.11 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.79 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.129] x 100

                  % error = 12.9

Round to the 2 significant figure

% error = 13 %

So, option c is correct
