3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

What is the % yield when 12g of Mg react with HCl to produce 0.2g of H2?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The yield is 20 %.

Explanation:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + H2

(12 g Mg) / (24.30506 g Mg/mol) x (1 mol H2 / 1 mol Mg) x (2.015894 g H2/mol) = 0.9953 g H2.

(0.2 g) / (0.9953 g) = 0.20 = 20% yield
