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.

Which statement is true about molarity and percent by mass?

Triss [41]

Answer : The correct option is, They are different units of concentration.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula of molarity :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}$

Mass percent : It is defined as the mass of solute present in the mass of solution.

Formula of mass percent :

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Hence, both are the different unit of concentration.

Let's say we have 2 Zinc atoms and 2 Sulfur atoms on one side of the equation. According to the Law of Conversation and Mass, ho

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system the mass present is neither destroyed nor created by chemical changes or physical changes.

This tells us that the mass of reactants must be equal to the product mass.

If 1 atom of Zn react with one atoms of sulfur, the product will be 1 molecule of zinc sulfide according to the equation below

Zn(s) + S(s) ⇒ ZnS(s)

therefore two atoms each f zinc and sulfur will product two molecules of Zn sulfide

In acidic solution, the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose has this rate law: rate = k[H+][sucrose].

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

b)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

c)If concentration of $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

d) If concentration when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

Explanation:

Sucrose + $H^+\rightarrow$ fructose+ glucose

The rate law of the reaction is given as:

$R=k[H^+][sucrose]$

$[H^+]=0.01M$

[sucrose]= 1.0 M

$R=k[0.01M][1.0 M]$ ..[1]

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M = R'

$R'=[0.01 M][2.5 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][2.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=2.5\times R$

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M = R'

$R'=[0.01 M][0.5 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][0.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=2.5\times R$

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

The rate of the reaction when $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.001 M = R'

$R'=[0.0001 M][1.0 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.0001 M][1.0M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=0.01\times R$

If concentration of $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

The rate of the reaction when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M = R'

$R'=[0.1M][0.1M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.1M][0.1M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=1\times R$

If concentration when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

How is the separation of dna like a zipper

Sedbober [7]

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.

The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.
