Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusions can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

<h3>What is the percent yield of the reaction?</h3>

Equation of the reaction is given below:

2 Mg + O₂ ----> 2 MgO

Trial 1

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.698 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.040 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.198 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.040 - 26.698 = 0.342

Mass of MgO = 27.198 - 26.698 = 0.500

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.342/24 = 0.01425

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.01425

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.500/40 = 0.0125

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.0125/0.01425 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 87.7%

Trial 2

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.691 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.099 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.361 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.099 - 26.691 = 0.408

Mass of MgO = 27.361 - 26.691 = 0.670

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.408/24 = 0.0170

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.0170

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.670/40 = 0.01675

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percent yield = 0.01675/0.0170 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 98.5%

Average percent yield = (87.7 + 98.5)% / 2

Average percent yield = 89.0%

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusion can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

If a hot steel tool of 1200°C was put in a bucket to cool and the bucket contained 15L of water of 15°C, and the water temperatu

Mashcka [7]

3.6 kg.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How much heat does the hot steel tool release?

This value is the same as the amount of heat that the 15 liters of water has absorbed.

Temperature change of water:

$\Delta T = T_2 - T_1= 48\; \textdegree{\text{C}}- 15\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ .

Volume of water:

$V = 15 \; \text{L} = 15 \; \text{dm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3}$ .

Mass of water:

$m = \rho \cdot V = 1.00 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{cm}^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}$ .

Amount of heat that the 15 L water absorbed:

$Q = c\cdot m \cdot \Delta T = 4.18 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} \times 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}$ .

What's the mass of the hot steel tool?

The specific heat of carbon steel is $0.49 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1}$ .

The amount of heat that the tool has lost is the same as the amount of heat the 15 L of water absorbed. In other words,

$Q(\text{absorbed}) = Q(\text{released}) =2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}$ .

$\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 1200\; \textdegree{\text{C}} -{\bf 48}\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ .

$m = \dfrac{Q}{c\cdot \Delta T} = \dfrac{2.06910 \times 10^{6} \; \text{J}}{0.49\; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} = 3.6 \; \text{kg}$ .

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.

allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.

What is the formula for the moment of inertia of the person/single particle rotating in a circle? (Give these values with a subs

Ann [662]

Moment of inertia of single particle rotating in circle is I1 = 1/2 (m*r^2)

The value of the moment of inertia when the person is on the edge of the merry-go-round is I2=1/3 (m*L^2)

Moment of Inertia refers to:

the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration.
It the sum of the product of the mass of every particle with its square of a distance from the axis of rotation.

The moment of inertia of single particle rotating in a circle I1 = 1/2 (m*r^2)

here We note that the,

In the formula, r being the distance from the point particle to the axis of rotation and m being the mass of disk.

The value of the moment of inertia when the person is on the edge of the merry-go-round is determined with parallel-axis theorem:

I(edge) = I (center of mass) + md^2

d be the distance from an axis through the object’s center of mass to a new axis.

I2(edge) = 1/3 (m*L^2)
