D. Add an appropriate amount of sodium hydroxide.

Usually, chemical processes require an optimum pH. This is the pH at which the desired chemical conversion gives  the maximum yield.

As we can see, the pH of the system is much higher than the optimum pH. We can decrease the pH to the optimum pH of 5.0 by adding an appropriate amount of  a base such as NaOH.

Hence, the pH can be brought to 5.0 from 6.5 by adding an appropriate amount of NaOH.

A compound is 57.1% oxygen and the remainder carbon. using oxygen as the standard (16 amu) and assuming a 1:1 atom ratio, calcul
Delicious77 [7]
Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

if 0.3 moles of carbon reacts completely with 0.3 moles of molecular oxygen, what is the yield in Percent of 6.6 g of CO2 are fo
Anettt [7]
Answer is:<span>the yield is 50%.
</span>
Chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
n(C) = 0.3 mol; amount of substance.
n(O₂) = 0.3 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0.3 mol.
M(CO₂) = 44 g/mol; molar mass of caron(IV) oxide.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) =0.3 mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 13.2 g; mass of carbon(IV) oxide.
the yield = 6.6 g ÷ 13.2 g · 100%.
the yield = 50%.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane, C3H8 . Do not enter phase symbols. Enter the alkane formula as
Anastaziya [24]
Answer:

C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon combustion is the reaction between a hydrocarbon and O2 producing CO2 and water.

C3H8 + O2 => CO2 + H2O

First we balance the C and H.

C3H8 + O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

Now we balance O for the answer!

C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.
