Answer:

42.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition reaction

PbO₂ ⇒ Pb + O₂

Step 2: Calculate the theoretical yield of O₂ from 5.77 g of PbO₂

According to the balanced equation, the mass ratio of PbO₂ to O₂ is 239.2:32.00.

5.77 g PbO₂ × 32.00 g O₂/239.2 g PbO₂ = 0.772 g O₂

Step 3: Calculate the percent yield of O₂

The real yield of O₂ is 0.331 g. The percent yield of O₂ is:

%yield = real yield / theoretical yield × 100%

%yield = 0.331 g / 0.772 g × 100% = 42.9%

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

C5H12 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.

What is the enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C4H10 (g)? 
Artemon [7]
The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:

                    C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O

The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
          C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
              O2:   none (because it is pure substance)
             CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
             H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.

               ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
                       = -<em>126.1 kJ</em>

Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.

Identify the compound with the smallest dipole moment in the gas phase. identify the compound with the smallest dipole moment in
stepladder [879]
Without solving for the dipole moment, we can easily determine which among the common gases has the smallest dipole moment just by determining the differences in their electronegativity. The greater the difference in the electronegativity, the higher is the value of the dipole moment. 

From the given above, there are obvious differences between the electronegativity between the atoms composing LiF, ClF, and HF. For Cl2, since this is the same molecule then, the difference in the electronegativity is zero.

Answer: Cl2.
