In 1803AD, Osmium was discovered by Smithson Tennant when dissolving an impure sample of platinum in aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. He was able to determine that the black powder left behind after dissolving the platinum was actually a mixture of two new elements, indium and osmium.

•Osmium is a bluish-white and shiny metal.

•Osmium is very hard and is brittle even at very high temperatures.

•Osmium has the lowast vapor pressure and the highest melting point among the platinum group of metals.

•Osmium's density is slightly more than iridium hence is credited as the heaviest element.

> How many valence electrons does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of Helium is simply 1s2. We see that its outermost shell is the s shell and it contains 2 electrons, therefore the number of valence electrons is also 2.

> What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas electron configuration?

Potassium has a electron configuration of [Ar] 4s1. To have an electron configuration of only [Ar] which is a noble gas, the one electron from 4s1 should be removed, hence:

K+

Please help with an easy percentage yield question ASAP!!! Would really appreciate!

Brut [27]

Answer:

The mass percentage yield is 85%

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2 C7H6O3 + (CH3CO)2CO → 2 C9H8O4 + H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 2.00 mL = 2*10^-3 L

The product is 1.16 g aspirin synthesized

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mole

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mole

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL

Step 3: Calculated moles of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = mass of salicylic acid / Molar mass of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams / 138.12 g/mole

Number of moles of salicylic acid =0.0075 moles

Step 4: Calculated mass acetic anhydride

mass of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL * 2 mL = 2.164 grams

Step 5: Calculate number of moles of acetic anhydride

Number of moles = 2.164 grams / 102.09 g/moles

Number of moles = 0.0212 moles

Step 6: Find amount of reacting moles

C7H6O3 is the limiting reactant, there will react 0.0075 moles

Since for 2 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we need 1 mole of (CH3CO)2CO to produce 2 moles of C9H804

So for 0.0075 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we produce 0.0075 moles of C9H8O4

Step 7: Calculate mass of aspirin

mass of aspirin = 0.0075 moles * 180 g/mole = 1.35 grams

Step 8: Calculate the mass percentage yield

(1.16 grams / 1.35 grams) * 100% = 85 %

The mass percentage yield is 85%
