The theoretical yield is 204.4 g while the percent yield is 2.57%.

<h3>What is theoretical yield?</h3>

Theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

S8(s) + 8 Na2SO3(aq) + 40 H2O(l) --->8 Na2S2O3·5 H2O(s)

Number of moles of sulfur =  3.25 g /8(32) = 0.013 moles

Number of moles of sodium sulfite =  13.1 g/126 g/mol = 0.103 moles

Since 1 moles of sulfur reacts with 8 moles of sodium sulfite

0.013 moles reacts with 0.013 moles ×  8 moles /1 mole = 0.104 moles

There is not enough sodium sulfite hence it is the limiting reactant.

1 mole of sodium sulfite yields 8 moles of product

0.103 moles of sodium sulfite yields  0.103 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.824 moles

Mass of product = 0.824 moles × 248 g/mol = 204.4 g

percent yield =  5.26 g /204.4 g × 100/1

= 2.57%

Answer:

In the 1770s, the English clergyman Joseph Priestley (who is credited with the discovery of O2) established the production of oxygen by vegetables recognizing that the process was, apparently, the inverse of animal respiration, which consumed such chemical element.

Explanation:

In 1772, Joseph Priestley in his Recherches sur diversces especes d'air differentiated the air of animal respiration from that emitted by vegetables in the presence of light. Of the latter, which he called "dephlogistic air", he highlighted his purifying property of the environment indicating that: plants far from affecting the air in the same way as animal respiration, produce the opposite effects, and tend to preserve the sweet and healthy atmosphere , when it becomes harmful as a result of the life and breathing of the animals or their death and their rot.

In 1780, Jean Ingeshousz in his Experiences sur les vegetaux completed and reaffirmed the observations of Joseph Priestley. At the same time, he could deny Charles Bonnet's hypothesis, by demonstrating that the air expelled from the leaves comes from inside, and that the stimulating factor of the gaseous emission was not the heat produced by the sun, but the intensity of the light .

It was, finally, Jean Senebier that between 1782 and 1784, found that the "fixed air" dissolved in the water favors the vegetation. From these observations, he hypothesized that "fixed air" (carbon dioxide) is absorbed by the plants, which take it from the atmosphere with the humidity it has and in which it is mixed. Once this gas has been captured, both from the atmosphere and from the ground, it is decomposed in the presence of light by the leaves, releasing the "vital air" (oxygen) and leaving the carbon in the plant.

Thus, at the end of the century the participation of the atmosphere in plant dynamics was already seated, although the how and why of this participation were still unknown and no theory had been formulated to explain the nutritional process as a whole.

What is the role of gravity in maintaining the atmospheric layer around Earth ? Please put a simple explanation Thank you !
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what gravity is. Gravity in its simplest form can be best visualized as a force of attraction, that pulls all objects that have a mass towards itself.

It is usually exerted by an object with a larger mass and felt by objects with smaller masses.

Putting this into context, the earth exerts a gravitational pull on all substances with masses, which are around it. This includes the oceans, birds, airplanes, clouds, and even gasses in the atmosphere. The atmospheric gasses may be light enough to float, but they can't go very far, since gravity is constantly tugging at them. This keeps the gasses that make up our atmosphere, within a reasonable radius, which is very close to the earth. In a nutshell, gravity prevents them from floating away into outer space.
