a. 0.137

b. 0.0274

c. 1.5892 g

d. 0.1781

e. 5.6992 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 C4H10 + 13O2 -------> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2.46 g of water

Required

moles and mass

Solution

a. moles of water :

2.46 g : 18 g/mol = 0.137

b. moles of butane :

= 2/10 x mol water

= 2/10 x 0.137

= 0.0274

c. mass of butane :

= 0.0274 x 58 g/mol

= 1.5892 g

d. moles of oxygen :

= 13/2 x mol butane

= 13/2 x 0.0274

= 0.1781

e. mass of oxygen :

= 0.1781 x 32 g/mol

= 5.6992 g

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2
lana [24]
CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 ---->  Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

using molar masses:-
Theoretical yields:-
63.54 + 2(35.45) g  of CuCl2  produces  2(22.98 + 35.45) g of NaCl
    134.44  g .................................................... 116.86 g
       31.0 g ....................................................31.0 * 116.86 /134.44=26.95g  
 
 So percentage yield is 21.2* 100 / 26.95    =  78.7%  to nearest tenth

An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room
Andrej [43]

Answer:

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

E=E\°-\frac{0.0591}{n} log(Q)

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe^0\ \ \ E\°=0.440V\\\\Ni^0\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-\ \ \ E\°=-0.250V

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

E=(0.440V+0.250V)-\frac{0.0591}{2} log(\frac{0.002M}{0.40M} )\\\\E=0.758V

Beat regards!

Describe at least three ways our understanding of the atom has changed overtime?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

multitide of uses (drinking, cleaning, cooking, transportation). Without water we would not survive. -Lead atoms bond together and they make up the lead that we use as a pencil. -Copper atoms, aluminum atoms, nickel atoms, etc., all make up metal which is used for a variety of things in everyday life.
