Part 3

Average percent yield of MgO for two trial = 39.25 %

Explanation:

Part 1.

Data Given

                                                              Trial 1                     Trial 2

mass of empty crucible and lid:          26.679 g               26.685 g

mass of Mg metal, crucible and lid:    26.931 g               26.988 g

mass of MgO, crucible and lid:            27.090 g              27.179 g

Theoretical yield of MgO for trial 1 and 2 = ?

Solution:

As Mg is limiting reagent so amount of MgO depends on the amount of Mg.

So, now we will look for the reaction to calculate theoretical yield

MgO form by the following reaction:

               Mg  +  O₂ --------->  2 MgO

              1 mol                        2 mol

Convert moles to mass

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Molar mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40 g/mol

So,

                     Mg        +         O₂      --------->     2 MgO

            1 mol (24 g/mol)                                  2 mol(40 g/mol)

                   24 g                                                    80 g

So,

24 g of Mg gives 80 g of MgO

To Calculate theoretical yield of MgO for Trial 1

First we look for the mass of Mg in the Crucible

  • mass of Mg for trial 1

Mass of Mg = mass of Mg metal, crucible and lid - mass of empty crucible and lid

       Mass of Mg = 26.931 g - 26.679 g

       Mass of Mg = 0.252 g

As we come to know that 24 g of Mg gives 80 g of MgO, then amount of Mg from trial 1 that is 0.252 g will produce how many grams of MgO

Apply unity formula

               24 g of Mg ≅ 80 g of MgO

               0.252 g of Mg ≅ X g of MgO

Do cross multiplication

               X g of MgO = 0.252 g x 80 g / 24 g

               X g of MgO = 0.84 g

So the theoretical yield of MgO is  0.84 g

--------------

To Calculate theoretical yield of MgO for Trial 2

First we look for the mass of Mg in the Crucible

  • mass of Mg for trial 2

Mass of Mg = mass of Mg metal, crucible and lid - mass of empty crucible and lid

      Mass of Mg = 26.988 g - 26.685 g

      Mass of Mg = 0.303 g

As we come to know that 24 g of Mg gives 80 g of MgO, then amount of Mg from trial 2 that is 0.303 g will produce how many grams of MgO

Apply unity formula

               24 g of Mg ≅ 80 g of MgO

                0.303 g of Mg ≅ X g of MgO

Do cross multiplication

               X g of MgO = 0.303 g x 80 g / 24 g

               X g of MgO = 1.01 g

So the theoretical yield of MgO is  1.01 g

Part 2

percent yield of MgO for trial 1 and 2 = ?

Solution:

For trial 1

To calculate percent yield we have to know about actual yield of MgO

  • mass of MgO for trial 1

Mass of MgO = mass of MgO, crucible and lid - mass of empty crucible and lid

    Mass of MgO =  27.090 g -  26.685 g

    Mass of MgO =  0.24 g

And we also know that

Theoretical yield of MgO for trial 1 = 0.84 g

Formula used

       Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

put values in above formula

       Percent yield =  0.24 g / 0.84 g x 100

       Percent yield = 28.6 %

--------------

For trial 2

To calculate percent yield we have to know about actual yield of MgO

  • mass of MgO for trial 2

Mass of MgO = mass of MgO, crucible and lid - mass of empty crucible and lid

    Mass of MgO =  27.179 g -  26.685 g

    Mass of MgO =  0.494 g

And we also know that

Theoretical yield of MgO for trial 2 = 1.01 g

Formula used

       Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

put values in above formula

       Percent yield =   0.494 g/ 1.01 g x 100

       Percent yield = 49.9 %

--------------

Part 3

average percent yield of MgO for the two trials =?

Solution:

As we know

Percent yield trial 2 = 28.6 %

Percent yield trial 2 = 49.9 %

Formula used

Average percent yield = percent yield trial 1 + percent yield trial 2 / 2

Put values in above formula

           Average percent yield = 28.6 + 49.9  / 2

           Average percent yield = 78.5 / 2

           Average percent yield = 39.25 %

Average percent yield of MgO for two trial = 39.25 %

What are Valence Electrons?

Answers

Valence electrons are the electrons that are in an atom's outermost layer. 
Every atom is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Electrons are outside them both.
They have energy levels (number of electrons per layer)
And the number they have on the farthest layer are the valence electrons. 
Valence Electrons are electrons in the outermost lay. They are also involved in the bonding of adjacent atoms.

#13.) For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, how many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from the combustion of 161.0 g of methane?

Select one:
a. 10.03
b. 20.06
c. 2584
d. 3.351

Answers

Answer 1)Option A) 58.05


In the given reaction of iron forming rust when reacts with the oxygen.


4 Fe_((s)) + 3O_(2)_((g) ----> 2Fe_(2)O_(3)_((s))


We can clearly see that, 4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to give 2 moles of iron oxide.


So 4 Fe : 3 O and 77.4 moles of Fe : x moles of O


(3 X 77.4) / 4 = 58.05


So when we solve we get x as 58.05.


Hence the no. of moles of oxygen will be 58.


Answer 2) Option A) 10.03


The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced when 161.0 g of methane undergoes combustion will be 10.03


as we know the molar mass of methane is 16.043g


As we can see in the reaction the mole ratio is 1:1;


1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of carbondioxide.


So, 161 g / 16.043 g = 10.03 moles of Carbon dioxide.

If a refrigerator is a heat pump that follows the first law of thermodynamics, how much heat was removed from food inside of the refrigerator if it released 300J of energy to the room?Answer:____________ unit:_______

Answers

Answer:

300 J.

Explanation:

  • The first law of thermodynamics is the law that demonstrates the conservation of energy.
  • It states that the total energy of an isolated system can not be created or destroyed, but it may be transformed into another form.
  • The energy released to the room is 300 J.
  • So, according to the law of conversation of energy; the amount of heat removed from food inside of the refrigerator is 300 J.

What is the mass of 5.50 mol of pure liquid bromine ?

Answers

Answer:

m Br = 439.472 g

Explanation:

mass Br = ?

∴ mol Br = 5.50 mol

∴ molar mass Br  79.904 g/mol

mass = (mol)*(g/mol)

⇒ m Br = (5.50 mol)*(79.904 g/mol)

⇒ m Br = 439.472 g
