Answer:

(a) oxygen

(b) 154g (to 3sf)

Explanation:

mass (g) = moles × Mr/Ar

note: eqn means chemical equation

(a)

moles of P = 84.1 ÷ 30.973 = 2.7152 moles

moles of O2 = 85÷2(16) = 2.65625 moles

Assuming all the moles of P is used up,

moles of O2 / moles of phosphorus = 5/4 (according to balanced chemical eqn)

moles of O2 required = 5/4 × 2.7152moles = 3.394 moles (more than supplied which is 2.65625moles)

therefore there is insufficient moles of O2 and the limiting reactant is oxygen.

(b)

moles of P2O5 produced

= 2/5 (according to eqn) × 2.7152

= 1.08608moles

mass of P2O5 produced

= 1.08608 × [ 2(30.973) + 5(16) ]

= 154.164g

= approx. 154g to 3 sig. fig.

(c)

% yield = actual/theoretical yield × 100%

= 123/154 × 100%

= 79.870%

= approx. 79.9% (to 3sf)

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t

8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

Heterotrophic bacteria obtain food by

BARSIC [14]

Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.

In an experiment, students were given an unknown mineral. The unknown mineral was placed in 150 ml of water. Once in the water,

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

$density = \frac{225}{15} = 15 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

How do balanced chemical equations show the conservation of mass

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: Matter cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation: Balanced equations are set equations we cannot change one element or compound in the equation without changing the entire equation. So balanced equation show the conservation of mass because while other substances may be formed from the synthesis or decomposition of compounds new elements are never introduced and are not created out of thin air :)

The reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas produces C2H5Cl as its main product (along with HCl). In addition, the react

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The percent yield of chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Explanation:

$C_2H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_2H_5Cl+HCl$

Moles of ethane = $\frac{300.0 g}{30 g/mol}=10 mol$

Moles of chlorine gases = $\frac{650.0 g}{71 .0 g/mol}=9.1549 mol$

As we can see that 1 mol of ethane react with 1 mole of chlorine gas.the 10 moles will require 10 mole of chlorine gas, but only 9.1549 moles of chlorine gas is present.

This means that chlorine gas is in limiting amount and amount of formation of chloro-ethane will depend upon amount of chlorine gas.

According to reaction , 1 mol of chloro ethane gives 1 mol of chloro-ethane.

Then 9.1549 moles of chlorien gas will give:

$\frac{1}{1}\times 9.1549 mol=9.1549 mol$ of chloro-ethane

Mass of 9.1549 moles of chloro-ethane:

9.1549 mol × 64.5 g/mol = 590.4910 g

Theoretical yield of chloro-ethane: 590.4910 g

Given experimental yield of chloro-ethane: 490.0 g

$\% Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$\%Yield (C_2H_5Cl)=\frac{490.0 g}{590.4910 g}\times 100=82.98\%$

The percent yield of chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.
