Answer:

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)

Explanation:

Rubidium has a more negative reduction potential (-2.98 V) compared to strontium (-2.89 V).

Hence, in a redox reaction involving rubidium and strontium, rubidium will be oxidized while strontium is reduced.

The balanced redox reaction equation is obtained from;

Oxidation half equation;

2Rb(s) ---->2Rb^+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation;

Sr^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Sr(s)

Overall reaction equation;

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)

When heat is applied to 80 grams of CaCO3, it yields 39 grams of B. Determine the percentage of the yield.

EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When heat is applied to 80 grams of CaCO3, it yields 39 grams of CaO Determine the percentage of the yield.

CaCO3→CaO + CO2

<u>Answer:</u> The % yield of the product is 87.05 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of $CaCO_3$ = 80 g

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{80g}{100g/mol}=0.8mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 1 mole of $CaCO_3$ produces 1 mole of CaO

So, 0.8 moles of $CaCO_3$ will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.8=0.8mol$ of CaO

We know, molar mass of $CaO$ = 56 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of CaO}=(0.8mol\times 56g/mol)=44.8g$

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

$\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100$ ......(2)

Given values:

Actual value of the product = 39 g

Theoretical value of the product = 44.8 g

Plugging values in equation 2:

$\% \text{yield}=\frac{39 g}{44.8g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield}=87.05\%$

Hence, the % yield of the product is 87.05 %

A bulldozer does 15,000 J of work lifting dirt 15 m up to get it out of a hole. How much force did the bulldozer use to accompli

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3000 N</h3>

Explanation:

The amount of force can be found by using the formula

$f = \frac{w}{d} \\$

w is the workdone

d is the distance

From the question we have

$f = \frac{15000}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

1. Using the Slater rule, determine the effective nuclear charge of platinum.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Z* = 3.55

Explanation:

Slater rule says that:

Z*= Z - S

Z* be the nuclear effective charge

Z is the nuclear charge

S is the shielding constant

First we write the electronic configuration of platinum: $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{6} 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{6} 4f^{14} 5d^{9} 6s^{1}$

The first Slater rule says that we need to group:

$(1s^{2}) (2s, 2p)^{8} (3s, 3p)^{8} (3d^{10}) (4s, 4p)^{8} (4d^{10}) (5s, 5p)^{8} (4f^{14}) (5d^{9}) (6s^{1})$

The second rule says that the electrons to the right are not shielding, but we are going to solve the exercise for the last level (6s), so we don't have electrons to the right.

For the third rule we have two considerations, if is ns or np and if is nd or nf:

For our case, we have an electro that is in ns, so the rule says that

-electrons within same group shield 0.35, except the 1s which shield 0.30

-electrons within the n-1 group shield 0.85

-electrons within the n-2 or lower groups shield 1.00

Now we can proceed with the calculation:

The first consideration in the third rule does not apply as we only have one electron on this level.

The second consideration will be as follow for the level 5, where we have 17 electrons.

Finally the third consideration will be for levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where we have 14 for 4f, 10 for 4d, 8 for 4s and 4p, 10 for 3d, 8 for 3s and 3p, 8 for 2s and 2p and finally 2 for 1s, which gives 60 electrons.

So the result for S=(60*1.00 + 17*0.85) = 74.45

And the equation is: Z* = 78 - 74.45

So Z* = 3.55
