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.

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

A typical person has an average heart rate of 75.0 beats/min. Calculate the following a)How many beats does she have in 7.0 year
hram777 [196]

Let us first convert years to minute.

7 years * (365 days / year) * (24 hours / day) * (60 minutes / hour) = 3,679,200 minutes

 

a. beats = 75.0 beats/min * 3,679,200 minutes

beats = 275,940,000 beats

Since the original given is 7.0 years (2 significant figures), therefore:

beats = 270,000,000 beats

 

b beats = 75.0 beats/min * 3,679,200 minutes

beats = 275,940,000 beats

Since the original given is 7.000 years (4 significant figures), therefore:

<span>beats = 275,900,000 beats</span>
