1) Chemical equation

2H2O ----> 2H2 + O2

2) theoretical molar ratios:

2 mol H2O : 2 mol H2 : 1 mol O2

3) determine the number of moles in 17.0 g of H2O and 10.2 g of O2

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol

=> number of moles of H2O = 17.0 g / 18.02 g/mol = 0.943 moles

number of moles of O2 = 10.2 g / 32.0 g = 0.319 mol O2

4) theoretical yield

2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2 = 0.943 mol H2O / x =>

x = 0.943 mol H2O * 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O = 0.472 mol O2

5) Percent yield

Percent yield = (actual moles / theoretical moles) * 100 = (0.319 / 0.472)*100 = 67.6%

Answer: the fourth option 67.6%

At 25∘C, the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5(g), into NO2(g) and O2(g) follows first-order kinetics with k=3.4×10−5

Annette [7]

Answer:

4600s

Explanation:

$2N_{2}O_{5}(g) - - -> 4NO_{2}(g) +O_{2}$

For a first order reaction the rate of reaction just depends on the concentration of one specie [B] and it’s expressed as:

$-\frac{d[B]}{dt}=k[B] - - - -\frac{d[B]}{[B]}=k*dt$

If we have an ideal gas in an isothermal (T=constant) and isocoric (v=constant) process.

PV=nRT we can say that P = n so we can express the reaction order as a function of the Partial pressure of one component.

$-\frac{d[P(B)]}{P(B)}=k*dt$

$-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=k*dt$

Integrating we get:

$\int\limits^p \,-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=\int\limits^ t k*dt$

$-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])=k(t_{2}-t_{1})$

Clearing for t2:

$\frac{-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])}{k}+t_{1}=t_{2}$

$ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]=ln(650)=6.4769$

$ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o}]=ln(760)=6.6333$

$t_{2}=\frac{-(6.4769-6.6333)}{3.4*10^{-5}}+0= 4598.414s$

1. What causes frost to form on the outside of a<br>cold container.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

condensation

Explanation:

Frost forms when an outside surface cools past the dew point. The dew point is the point where the air gets so cold, the water vapor in the atmosphere turns into liquid. This liquid freezes. If it gets cold enough, little bits of ice, or frost, form

A chemistry student needs 45.0mL of pentane for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the stud

Masja [62]

The mass of pentane the student should weigh out is

The density of pentane is 0.626 gcm-3

To calculate the mass of pentane following expression is used,

(Density is defined as the mass divide by volume)

Density = mass / volume

mass of pentane = Density of pentane * Volume of pentane

mass of pentane = 0.626 gcm-3 * 45.0 mL

= 28.17 g

Here the unit of mass of pentane is g,

However the unit of density is gcm-3 and unit of volume is mL i.e. cm3

Hence, Mass = gcm-3 * cm3

Mass = g

The mass of pentane the student should weigh out is 28.17g
