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

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in

Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

You drive 6.00 km at 50.0 km/h and then another 6.00kmat 900 km/h Your average speed over

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time travelled

time to travel the first 6km: 6 / 50 = 3/25 (h)

time to travel the next 6km: 6 / 90 = 1/15 (h)

[I think there's problem in the question 'cause 900km/h sounds impossible for normal person to travel in normal condition]

The total time: 3/25 + 1/15 = 14/75 (h)

Average speed over the 12 km drive will be:

$\frac{12}{ \frac{14}{75} } = \frac{450}{7} = 64.3 \: km{h}^{ - 1}$

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel fry

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

N = 6.67 N

Explanation:

The frictional or frictional force is a force that arises from the contact of two bodies and opposes movement.

The friction is due to imperfections and roughness, mainly microscopic, that exist on the surfaces of the bodies. Upon contact, these roughnesses engage with each other making movement difficult. To minimize the effect of friction, either the surfaces are polished or lubricated, since the oil fills the imperfections, preventing them from snagging.

As the frictional force depends on the materials and the force exerted on one another, its magnitude is obtained by the following expression:

f = μ*N Formula (1)

where:

f is the friction force (N)

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal force (N)

Data

f = 0.2 N : frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan

μ = 0.03 :coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials

Calculating of normal force

We replace data in the formula (1)

f = μ*N

0.2 = 0.03*N

N = 0.2 / 0.03

N = 6.67 N

What determines how soon one action potential can follow another?

belka [17]

It is through biopsychological feedback.

A class of chemical called a neurotransmitter is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move toward the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell.
