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

What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha

almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

$Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA} \times 100$

Give two ways of reversing the direction of the forces on the coil in the electric motor?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Interchanging the poles of the magnet

Reversing the direction of the applied current

Explanation:

The working of the electric motor is associated with Fleming's left-hand rule.
It states that if a current-carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, it experiences a force in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the electric current and magnetic field.
These three physical quantities are placed in a mutually perpendicular direction.
So, in order to reverse the direction of force, you have to either change the direction of the current or magnetic field.

What is carried by a wave?

Nata [24]

Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.
