Answer: c. Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of matter, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form to another.

How to do limiting reagents for chemistry?

gavmur [86]

Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

Which of the following isoelectronic series is correctly ranked from largest ionic radius to smallest ionic radius? 1. N 3−, O 2

love history [14]

Answer:

Option 1: N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Explanation:

Ionic radius is the radius of an atom´s ion in ionic crystal structure. In an ion that lose an electron, to form a cation, the radius of the ion gets smaller, because the repulsion between electrons decrease because fewer electrons are present. Conversely, adding on electron to a neutral atom, to form an anion, causes electron - electron repulsions to increase, so the size of the radius of the ion gets bigger.

Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have the same number of electrons in their electronic shells but have different overall charges, because of their different atomic numbers.

In a isolelectronic series (same number of electrons), the increase of the positive charge (given by the number of protons in the nucleus), will cause a decrease in radius beacuse the greater electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge will have the smallest ionic radius and the ion with the smallest nulear charge will have the largest ionic radius.

We will use this principle to solve our problem.

In our case, the given ions are:

N⁻³ : Z = 7, e⁻ = 10
O⁻²: Z= 8, e⁻ =10
F⁻: Z = 9, e⁻ = 10
Na⁺: Z= 11, e⁻ = 10
Mg⁺²: Z=12, e⁻ =10

where Z= number of protons, and e⁻ = number of electrons.

Hence the decreasing order of ionic radius is:

N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Have a nice day!

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:

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

Regards!

two sides of a triangle have the following measures . Find The range of possible measures for the tird side

crimeas [40]

To find the third side you would use Pythagorean theorem which is a²+b²=c².

A and B being the 2 legs and C being the hypotenuse.

Example: ( sorry for the really odd not really a triangle, triangle...)
| \
6| \ ? 6²+9²=C²
|_______ 36+81=C²
9 117=C²
√117=10.8 (rounded)

if you need to get the leg you just fill in the numbers.
