What is one major difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

1 answer:

6 0

While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance. Mechanical waves are also called elastic wavesas their propagation depends on the elastic properties of the medium through which the waves pass.

When 125 mL of 0.150 M Pb(NO3)2 is mixed with 145 mL of 0.200 M KBr, 4.92 g of PbBr2 is collected. Calculate the percent yield.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Y = 92.5 %

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide is:

$Pb(NO_3)_2+2KBr\rightarrow PbBr_2+2KNO_3$

Exhibits a 1:2 mole ratio of the former to the later, we can calculate the moles of lead (II) bromide product to figure out the limiting reactant:

$0.125L*0.150\frac{molPb(NO_3)_2}{L} *\frac{1molPbBr_2}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.01875molPbBr_2\\\\0.145L*0.200\frac{molKBr}{L} *\frac{1molPbBr_2}{2molKBr} =0.0145molPbBr_2$

Thus, the limiting reactant is the KBr as it yields the fewest moles of PbBr2 product. Afterwards, we calculate the mass of product by using its molar mass:

$0.0145molPbBr_2*\frac{367.01gPbBr_2}{1molPbBr_2} =5.32gPbBr_2$

And the resulting percent yield:

$Y=\frac{4.92g}{5.32g} *100\%\\\\Y=92.5\%$

What is the mass of carbon in 500. g of octane?

denis23 [38]

The answer is: the mass of carbon is 420.6 grams.

m(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g; mass of octane.

M(C₈H₁₈) = 114.22 g/mol; molar mass of octane.

n(C₈H₁₈) = m(C₈H₁₈) ÷ M(C₈H₁₈).

n(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g ÷ 114.22 g/mol.

n(C₈H₁₈) = 4.38 mol; amount of octane.

In one molecule of octane, there are eight carbon atoms:

n(C) = 8 · n(C₈H₁₈).

n(C) = 8 · 4.38 mol.

n(C) = 35.02 mol; amount of carbon.

m(C) = 35.02 mol · 12.01 g/mol.

m(C) = 420.6 g; mass of carbone.
