Answer:

$m_{Cr_2O_3}^{actual}=62.4gCr_2O_3$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the reaction:

$4Cr+3O_2\rightarrow 2Cr_2O_3$

We can see there is a 4:2 mole ratio between chromium and chromium (III) oxide, this, for the given 56.2 g of chromium, the theoretical yield of the oxide product is computed down below:

$m_{Cr_2O_3}^{theoretical}=56.2gCr*\frac{1molCr}{52.0gCr}*\frac{2molCr_2O_3}{4molCr} *\frac{151.99gCr_2O_3}{1molCr_2O_3} =82.13gCr_2O_3$

Now, considering the 76.0-% yield for this reaction, the actual yield turns out:

$m_{Cr_2O_3}^{actual}=82.13gCr_2O_3*\frac{76.0gCr_2O_3}{100gCr_2O_3} \\\\m_{Cr_2O_3}^{actual}=62.4gCr_2O_3$

Best regards!

Where does the energy for almost all ecosystems come from

bonufazy [111]

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

When a 10 mL graduated cylinder is filled to the 10 mL mark, the mass of the water was measured to be 9.925 g. If the density of

Vlada [557]

Measured volume = 10 ml
mass = 9.925 g
density = 0.9975 g/ml
density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$
so actual volume = $\frac{mass}{density}$ = $\frac{9.925}{0.9975}$ = 9.95 mL
Percentage Error = $\frac{measured volume - Actual volume}{actual volume}$ x 100
= $\frac{10 - 9.95}{9.95}$ x 100 = 0.5 % error
