Answer:

Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The process of separating petroleum products into its fractions is called fractional distillation.

Fractional distillation is a method of separating a mixture of substances based on the differences in their boiling points.

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons separated in a large fractionation tower having many trays maintained at different temperatures.

As the vapor containing the petroleum mixture ascends the fractionation tower, the mixture is separated at each tray to yield the various fractions of petroleum.

What is the percent yield of ferrous sulfide if the actual yield is 220.0 g and the theoretical yield is 275.6 g
Anika [276]
To get the percent yield, we will use this formula: ((Actual Yield)/(Theoretical Yield)) * 100% Values given: actual yield is 220.0 g theoretical yield is 275.6 g Now, let us substitute the values given. (220.0 grams)/(275.6 grams) = 0.7983 Then, to get the percentage, multiply the quotient by 100. 0.7983 (100) = 79.83% Among the choices, the most plausible answer is 79.8% <span>

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

c and d are correct

Explanation:

In A, false because in Valence Electrons, the more the valences, the more stable an atom is.

In B, false because atoms cannot readily gain or lose valence electrons as the number of valence electrons is determined by the column they are in.

In C, true because the more the valence electrons, the more the stability of an atom.  

In D, true as electron placing is important and the reactivity of an atom is important.

So C and D are true!
