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.

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

                                                         = 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

When the isotonic saline solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unkn
ozzi

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

T_1=-91.18\°C

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the T-V variation, we understand it is possible to apply the Charles' law as shown below:

\frac{T_1}{V_1}= \frac{T_2}{V_2}

Thus, since we are interested in the initial temperature, we can solve for T1, plug in the volumes and use T2 in kelvins:

T_1= \frac{T_2V_1}{V_2}\\\\T_1= \frac{(18.00+273.15)K(1.75L)}{(2.80L)}\\\\T_1=182K-273.15\\\\T_1=-91.18\°C

Best regards!
