When 28.0 g of acetylene reacts with hydrogen, 24.5 g of ethane is produced. What is the percent yield of C2H6 for the reaction?

Answer:

Y=75.6\%

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no information about the reacting hydrogen is given, we can assume that it completely react with the 28.0 g of acetylene to yield ethane. In such a way, via the 1:1 mole ratio between acetylene (molar mass = 26 g/mol) and ethane (molar mass = 30 g/mol), we compute the yielded grams, or the theoretical yield of ethane as shown below:

m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=28.0gC_2H_2*\frac{1molC_2H_2}{26gC_2H_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_2}  *\frac{30gC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_6}\\ \\m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=32.3gC_2H_6

Hence, by knowing that the percent yield is computed via the actual yield (24.5 g) over the theoretical yield, we obtain:

Y=\frac{24.5g}{32.3g}*100\%\\ \\Y=75.6\%

Best regards.

Describe how sodium conducts thermal energy. [3 Marks]
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In metals, some of the electrons (often one per atom) are not stuck to individual atoms but flow freely among the atoms. Of course, that's why metals are such good conductors of electricity. Now if one end of a bar is hot, and the other is cold, the electrons on the hot end have a little more thermal energy- random jiggling- than the ones on the cold end. So as the electrons wander around, they carry energy from the hot end to the cold end, which is another way of saying they conduct heat.

Here, sodium is a metal which possesses an extra (valence) electron carries the heat around its body as it is a free electron, which enables sodium to conduct thermal energy.

Hope this help :)

Why do you think a virus’s reproduction cycle is called the “lytic cycle”
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The lytic cycle is named for the process of lysis, which occurs when a virus has infected a cell, replicated new virus particles, and bursts through the cell membrane. This releases the new virions, or virus complexes, so they can infect more cells

Read the information on Hydrochloric Acid. List four ways you can avoid injury while using HCl and three steps you would take in
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Find the list and explanation below.

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid shortened as HCl is a harmful chemical when not handled properly. Four ways to avoid injury with hydrochloric acid include;

1. Dilution: It is advised to dilute the concentrated hydrochloric acid with a reasonable amount of water so that its corrosive effect can be significantly reduced.

2. Wear a laboratory coat: When working with hydrochloric acid in the laboratory it is always advised to wear a laboratory suit so as to ensure a minimal amount of harm in case of an accident or spillage with the acid.

3. Wear a face shield: It is also important that a face shield is worn while working with the acid to prevent contact with the eyes.

4. Wear a protective rubber glove: The rubber gloves would ensure that there is minimal contact of the acid with the hands.

Three steps to be taken in case of an accidental exposure include;

1. Medical Attention: In serious cases, such as in a case of ingesting the acid, urgent medical help should be sought for immediately.

2. Water: If there is contact with the skin or eye, a lot of water should be used on the affected area, and then medical help obtained.

3. Inhalation of fresh air: In a case whereby the hydrochloric acid was inhaled for a long time, the affected person should try to get some fresh air and if other effects are noticed, urgent medical attention should be gotten.

antiseptic1488 [7]
I would say the answer is C) because the thermal energy of the coffee going into the cup has to level out until the cup gets warmer and the coffee gets cooler, and they reach the same temperature.Meaning that the jug which has already been at the same temperature(we can assume based on the verbiage “the coffee was poured from the jug to the cup”) which would give the jug more thermal energy.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: K e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C EndBracket superscript lower c StartBracket upper D EndBracket superscript lower D over StartBracket upper A EndBracket superscript lower a StartBracket upper B EndBracket superscript lower b EndFraction.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients. It is represented by the symbol K_{eq}

The balanced chemical reaction is:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD     

The expression for K_{eq} is written as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[C]^c\times [D]^d}{[A]^a\times [B]^b}

Thus the correct option is K e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C EndBracket superscript lower c StartBracket upper D EndBracket superscript lower D over StartBracket upper A EndBracket superscript lower a StartBracket upper B EndBracket superscript lower b EndFraction.
