Which plate, oceanic or continental, must be more dense?

Chemistry

Answer:

Oceanic & Continental Plates

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It's sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone. The continental plate is less dense and floats over the top of it since it is more buoyant

Why are hydrogen bonds so essential to the structure of dna?

Lelu [443]

Hydrogen bonds hold the paired nitrogenous bases together. Because hydrogen bonds are weak bonds, the two strands of DNA are easily separated a characteristic that is important to DNA's function.Hydrogen bonds form between adenine and thymine and between cytosine and guanine.

Find percent yield:

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For $B_5H_9$ :

Given mass of $B_5H_9$ = 4.0 g

Molar mass of $B_5H_9$ = 63.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }B_5H_9=\frac{4g}{63.12g/mol}=0.0634mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 10.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{10g}{32g/mol}=0.3125mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $B_5H_9$ and oxygen gas follows:

$2B_5H_9+12O_2\rightarrow 5B_2O_3+9H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of $B_2H_5$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{2}{12}\times 0.3125=0.052mol$ of $B_2H_5$

As, given amount of $B_2H_5$ is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas produces 5 moles of $B_2O_3$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{5}{12}\times 0.3125=0.130moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of $B_2O_3$ from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of $B_2O_3$ = 69.93 g/mol

Moles of $B_2O_3$ = 0.130 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.130mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }B_2O_3}{69.63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }B_2O_3=(0.130mol\times 69.63g/mol)=9.052g$

To calculate the percentage yield of $B_2O_3$ , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of $B_2O_3$ = 8.32 g

Theoretical yield of $B_2O_3$ = 9.052 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of }B_2O_3=\frac{8.32g}{9.052g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of }B_2O_3=91.8\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %
