%yield = 88.5%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

Cu(s) + 2 AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Required

The percent yield

Solution

mol AgNO₃(MW=169,87 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 127 : 169.87

= 0.748

mol Ag from equation :

= 2/2 x mol AgNO₃

= 2/2 x 0.748

= 0.748

Mass Ag (theoretical) :

= mol x Ar Ag

= 0.748 x 108

= 80.784

% yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%

%yield = 71.5/80.784 x 100%

<em>%yield = 88.5%</em>

For the reaction shown, identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. KNO3 →

Vinvika [58]

Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O.

$KNO_{3}$ is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

$KNO_{3}$ act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in $KNO_{2}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number reduced this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get reduced to $KNO_{2}$ and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

$KNO_{3}$ act as a reducing agent.

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

The oxidation number of O in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in $O_{2}$ is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get oxidized to $O_{2}$ and it can act as reducing agent.

What bonds are broken and octane combustion?

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Common combustion reactions break the bonds of hydrocarbon molecules,

Explanation:

the resulting water and carbon dioxide bonds always release more energy than was used to break the original hydrocarbon bonds. That's why burning materials mainly made up of hydrocarbons produces energy and is exothermic.
