Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:

$Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\$

Equation:

$3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnCO_3$

$= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\= 13.1 \ kg$

For point b:

$Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\ of\ Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\$

$=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg$

Equation:

$3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnO_2:$

$= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\= 6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\$

10) an object has mass of 50g 500mg and 0.1g. express the total mass of the object in grams

Pavel [41]

500 mg in g :

1 g ----------- 1000 mg
? -------------- 500 mg

500 x 1 / 1000 => 0.5 g

total mass:

50 g + 0.5 g + 0.1 g => 50.6 g

hope this helps!

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain?<br> Plz

faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)
