Answer:

B= 2

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca + F      →   CaF₂  

Balance chemical equation:

Ca + 2F      →   CaF₂  

Step 1:

Ca + F      →   CaF₂

Left hand side             right hand side

Ca = 1                             Ca = 1

F = 1                                F = 2

Step 2:

Ca + 2F      →   CaF₂

Left hand side             right hand side

Ca = 1                             Ca = 1

F =  2                              F = 2

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot
Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely  to occur  if sulfur  forms an ionic  bond with another  element  is  <u>sulfur  will accept  electrons</u>

     

    <u><em> explanation</em></u>

  • Ionic bond is formed when  a metal react with a non metal.
  • Metal  loses ( donate) electrons  to form cation ( a positively charged  ion) , while  non metal accept (gain)  electrons  to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

  • Sulfur  is a non metal  therefore it  accept  electrons if it form an ionic bond  with a metal. sulfur accept  2 electrons to  form S2- ion

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.

If the actual yield of a reaction is 37.6 g while the theoretical yield is 112.8 g what is the percent yield
Zigmanuir [339]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.

We are given that:

ActualYield=37.6g\\TheoreticalYield=112.8g

Now, to calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical and multiply it by 100.

So, calculating we have:

PercentYield=\frac{ActualYield}{TheoreticalYield}*100\\\\PercentYield=\frac{37.6g}{112.8g}*100=0.3245*100=32.45(percent)

Hence, we have that the percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%.

Have a nice day!
