The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In this stoichiometry problem, determine the percentage yield:

Excess aluminum metal reacts with aqueous nickel(II) sulfate to produce aqueous aluminum sulfate and nickel as a precipitate. In this reaction 108 g of aluminum were combined with 464 g of nickel(II) sulfate to produce 274 g of aluminum sulfate.

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

The reaction equation is;

2Al(s) + 3NiSO4(aq) --------> Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ni(s)

Since Al is in excess then NiSO4 is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles in 464 g of NiSO4 = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of NiSO4 = 155 g/mol

Number of moles = 464g/155g/mol = 2.99 moles

Number of moles of Al2(SO4)3 = mass/molar mass

molar mass = 342 g/mol

Number of moles = 274g/342g/mol = 0.8 moles

From the reaction equation;

3 moles of NiSO4 yields 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3

2.99 moles of NiSO4 yields 2.99 * 1/3 = 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3

% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1

actual yield =  0.8 moles of Al2(SO4)3

Theoretical yield = 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3

% yield = 0.8/1 * 100 = 80%

Answer:

Astronomy (from Greek: ἀστρονομία, literally meaning the science that studies the laws of the stars) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets. Relevant phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates beyond Earth's atmosphere. Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that studies the universe as a whole.[1]

Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history made methodical observations of the night sky. These include the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas. In the past, astronomy included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars. Nowadays, professional astronomy is often said to be the same as astrophysics.[2]

Professional astronomy is split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects. This data is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. These two fields complement each other. Theoretical astronomy seeks to explain observational results and observations are used to confirm theoretical results.

Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs play an active role. This is especially true for the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have helped with many important discoveries, such as finding new comets.

The molar mass of vitamin A (C20H30O).
vivado [14]
Molar mass of C:  12.011 g/mol
The equation says C20, which means there are 20 carbon atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A.  So, we multiply 12.011 by 20 to get 240.22 g/mol carbon.

Molar mass of H:  1.0079 g/mol
The equation says C30, which means there are 30 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 1.0079 by 30 to get 30.237 g/mol hydrogen.

Molar mass of O: 15.999 g/mol
The equation says O without a number, which means there is only one oxygen atom in each molecule of Vitamin A.  So, we leave O at 15.999 g/mol.

Then, just add it up:
240.22 g/mol C + 30.237 g/mol H + 15.999 g/mol O = 286.456 g/mol C20H30O

So, the molar mass of Vitamin A, C20H30O, is approximately 286.5 g/mol.

Give the half equation to show what happens to oxygen when it is rusting
ycow [4]

Answer:

½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.

Explanation:

Redox reactions - Higher

In terms of electrons:

oxidation is loss of electrons

reduction is gain of electrons

Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:

iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-

oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-

iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-
