William measures a test tube and finds that the mass of the test tube is 5g. He places the lone reactant in the test tube and fi

nds the mass to be 12.5g. He carries out a reaction by heating the test tube. At the end of the reaction, he measures the mass of the test tube containing the lone product and finds it to have a mass of 9.3g. What is the percent yield for this experiment if he expected to produce 5g of product?

86 percent is the percent yield for this experiment if he expected to produce 5g of product.

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of test tube = 5 grams

mass of test tube + reactant is 12.5 grams

mass of reactant = ( mass of test tube + reactant ) - (mass of test tube)

mass of reactant = 12.5 -5

                             = 7.5 grams

when 7.5 grams of reactant is heated mass of test tube was found to be 9.3 grams.

so mass of product formed = 9.3 - 5

                                             = 4. 3 grams of product is formed (actual yield)

However, he expected the product to be 5 grams (theoretical yield)

Percent yield = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100

          putting the values in the formula:

percent yield = \frac{4.3}{5} x 100

                     = 86 %

86 percent is the percent yield.

How can I write the formula for strontium fluoride?
quester [9]
First thing, you need to know what this molecule is made of. 
The First atom is the Strontium Sr (For more information, used usually as a substitute of the calcium in the human body).
The Second Atom is made of 2 Fluoride F2 (because it chemical name is Strontium difluoride).
Then, you join them together and Get SrF_2
And for more information, Strontium fluoride is usually used as an optical material.

Hope this Helps :)

A reaction takes place between an acid and 0.5 gram of solid magnesium ribbon. Another reaction takes place between an acid and
aliina [53]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the powdered magnesium reacts faster because it has a greater surface area</u>.

<em>The rate of reaction is defined as the rate of disappearance of the reactants in a reaction or the rate of conversion of appearance of products during a reaction. </em>

The rate of reaction is dependent on several factors such as the concentration of the reactants, temperature of the reaction, nature of reactants, and the presence or absence of catalysts during the reaction.

As far as the nature of reactants is concerned, the surface area of reactants comes into play. <em>Reactants with higher surface areas react faster than reactants with lesser surface areas</em>. Hence, powdery reactants react faster than solid reactants because the latter has a higher surface area than the former.

The correct option is A.

The process of asking questions is known as
Luda [366]
Inquiring, which comes from the word inquiry which means, "an act of asking a question". In science, the first part of the scientific method is asking questions about the world around you and then after that, conducting experiments to get answers.
