Yes. Percent yield shows how efficient one's method is. If his isolated caffeine proved to be at only 1.5%, compared to least 50% as in many of the previous experiments, the student should be very concerned as it shows that something caused the yield to sharply drop.

The rate constant for the decomposition reaction of H2O2 is 3.66 × 10−3 s−1 at a particular temperature. What is the concentrati
Pepsi [2]

Answer:  3.72 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 3.66\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = age of sample = 15.0 minutes

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 10.0 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

15.0\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{3.66\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{10.0}{(a-x)}

\log\frac{100}{(a-x)}=1.43

\frac{100}{(a-x)}=26.9

(a-x)=3.72M

The concentration of H_2O_2 in a solution after 15.0 minutes have passed is 3.72 M

Can someone help me with number 1 and 2 plz!
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1) 0 N

2) 8 N

Explanation:

The net force is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object.

For question 1, we can see that there is a force of 5 N acting to the right and 5 N acting to the left.  If we define the right to be positive and the left to be negative, then the net force equals:

Fnet = 5N - 5N = 0 N

Therefore, the net force in question 1 is 0 N.

For question 2, the process is very similar.  We want to find the sum of the forces acting on the object.  In this case, there are forces of 3 N and 5 N acting to the right.

Fnet = 3 N + 5 N = 8 N

Therefore, the net force in question 2 is 8 N.

Hope this helps!

lyudmila [28]
<span>The kingdom, protista’s characteristics are that the organism (not a plant, animal or fungus) are: unicellular however some are multicellular like algae, are heterotrophic or autotrophic, others lives in water while some live in moist areas or human body, have a nucleus, cellular respiration is primarily aerobic, some are pathogenic (e.g. causing Malaria) and reproduction is mitosis or meiosis. This kingdom includes: Sacordinians – pseudopods (e.g. Amoeba, Foraminiferans<span>.)</span>, Zooflagellates – flagellates (e.g. Trypanosoma gambiense), Ciliaphorans – ciliates (e.g. paramecium) and Sporozoans (e.g. Plasmodium).</span>
