The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>CuCl2 + 2Na → 2NaCl + Cu
We are given the amount of sodium to be used up in the reaction. This will be the starting point for our calculations.
15 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 ) ( 1 mol Cul2 / 2 mol Na ) (134.45 g / 1 mol ) = 43.86 g CuCl2 needed to be able to obtain the maximum amount of copper.</span>
Answer: 83%
Explanation:
The detailed solution is shown in the image attached. First we must work out the balanced reaction equation because accurate solution of the problem must be based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the given concentration and volume of reactants, we calculate the amount of substance reacted hence identify the limiting reactant. Lastly we use simple proportion to obtain the theoretical yield of the precipitate. This is now used to calculate the actual yield as shown in the solution attached.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
<u>The given statement asserts a false claim because the equator is the region that receives maximum sunlight</u>. The equator is placed right below the sun and thus, it tends to receive the maximum radiation across the year. While the poles are the coldest regions of the Earth because due to Earth's titled axis, they receive very few sun rays for a certain time of the year. Thus, <u>if we move away from the equator, we are likely to receive less radiation from the sun as the sun keeps getting farther while moving away from the equator</u>.
