Answer:

% yield of reaction is 26.4

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Mg + I₂ → MgI₂

Our reactants are magnessium and iodine. We determine the moles of each to find the limiting reactant:

10 g . 1mol / 24.3 g = 0.411 moles of Mg

95 g . 1mol / 253.8g = 0.374 moles of I₂

Ratio is 1:1. For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of iodine

For 0.411 moles, we need the same amount, but we only have 0.374 moles of iodine, that's why the gas is the limiting reactant.

As ratio is 1:1 again, 0.374 moles of iodine can produce 0.374 moles of MgI₂

We determine the mas (theoretical yield): 0.374 mol . 278.1 g/mol = 104 g

To calculate the percent yield:

% yield = (yield produced /theoretical yield) . 100

% yield = (27.5 g/ 104g) . 100 = 26.4

Nutka1998 [239]

The empirical and molecular formulas will be $C_5H_5O_2$ and $C_1_0H_1_0O_4$ respectively.

<h3>Empirical and molecular formula</h3>

The compound contains C, H, and O.

C = 61.15/12 = 5.0958

H = 5.3/1 = 5.3

O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719

Divide by the smallest

C = 2.6

H = 2.7

O = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is $C_5H_5O_2$

Empirical formula mass = (12x5) + (1x5) + 16x2 = 97

n = 152.15/97 = 2

The molecular formula is $C_1_0H_1_0O_4$

Which object would best be identified by a periodic Doppler shift in a star's spectrum along with a dip in the stars light inten

IgorLugansk [536]

The answer would be a planet. Planets revolve around stars, which means there will come a point where the planet is between the star and our field of vision towards the star. This point will be where the star's radiation will have the lowest intensity. As the planet moves, the intensity will change. The effect is comparable to a lunar or solar eclipse.

When do replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center

Art [367]

Answer:

During Metaphase

Explanation:

During Metaphase the cell chromosome align themselves in the middle of the cell.This occur due to a cellular process called "Tug of War".

The chromosome which have been replicated and joined at the central point called centromere are called sister chromatids

Prior to metaphase , Kinetochore type of protein are formed around the centromere. Long protein filament called kinetochore are extended from poles to other end of the cell attached to kinetochore.

Therse is important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis called metaphase.

At this point cell ensure that , it is ready to divide or not.

Once the cell ensure that everything is ready to divide. Only after then , yhe cell enters the fourth phase called anaphase.

A. Explain, in terms of particles, why NaCl(s) does not conduct electricity.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.

Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:

The substance shall contain charged particles, and
These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.

A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.

Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl $\rm NaCl\;(s)$ . NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:

Positive $\rm Na^{+}$ ions, and
Negative $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions.

Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.

Inside solid NaCl $\rm NaCl\;(s)$ , electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.

As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
