Answer:

The option closest to the percentage yield is option;

d. 81.1

Explanation:

The given chemical equation of the reaction is presented as follows;

CaO (s) + H₂O (l) → Ca(OH)₂

The mass of CaO in the experiment, m = 2.00 g

The volume of water with which the CaO was reacted = Excess volume of water

Number of moles = Mass/(Molar mass)

The mass of Ca(OH)₂ recovered, actual yield = 2.14 g

The molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

The number of moles of CaO in the reaction, n₁ = 2.00 g/(56.0774 g/mol ≈ 0.036 moles

The molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74.093 g/mol

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ in the reaction, n₂ = 2.14 g/(74.093 g/mol) ≈ 0.029 moles

From the given chemical reaction, one mole of CaO reacts with one mole of H₂O to produce one mole of Ca(OH)₂

Therefore, 0.036 moles of CaO will produce 0.036 moles of Ca(OH)₂

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

The mass of 0.036 moles of Ca(OH)₂ ≈ 0.036 moles × 74.093 g/mol = 2.667348 grams

∴ The theoretical yield of Ca(OH)₂ = 2.667348 grams

Percentage \ yield = \dfrac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield}  \times 100 \%

The percentage yield = (2.14 g)/(2.667348 grams) × 100 = 80.23%

Therefore, the option which is closest is option d. 81.1.

All three of the phosphorus-fluorine single bonds in pf3 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point?
nydimaria [60]
One of the causes of polarity is the unequal forces of the dipole forces due to differences in electronegativity. The more electronegative molecule tend to attract electrons, hence the polarity arrows point towards it. The electronegativity of Phosphorus and Fluorine is 2.19 and 3.98, respectively. Thus, it points outward towards the fluorine atoms.

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution? new experiments involving genes and evolution exper
ss7ja [257]

Incomplete question. Full question reads;

Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution?

Answer:

<u>new experiments involving genes and evolution </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, the original theory of evolution has experienced several changes in its acceptance because of its imperfect and wrong assumptions not based on generally acceptable scientific facts,

Hence, new experiments involving genes and evolution has led to a change (disagreements and few agreements) in the widely accepted theory of evolution.
