Answer:

% yield of reaction is 26.4

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Mg + I₂ → MgI₂

Our reactants are magnessium and iodine. We determine the moles of each to find the limiting reactant:

10 g . 1mol / 24.3 g = 0.411 moles of Mg

95 g . 1mol / 253.8g = 0.374 moles of I₂

Ratio is 1:1. For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of iodine

For 0.411 moles, we need the same amount, but we only have 0.374 moles of iodine, that's why the gas is the limiting reactant.

As ratio is 1:1 again, 0.374 moles of iodine can produce 0.374 moles of MgI₂

We determine the mas (theoretical yield): 0.374 mol . 278.1 g/mol = 104 g

To calculate the percent yield:

% yield = (yield produced /theoretical yield) . 100

% yield = (27.5 g/ 104g) . 100 = 26.4

93.2 mL of a 2.03 M potassium fluoride (KF) solution

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

1.98 M

Explanation:

Given data

Initial volume (V₁): 93.2 mL

Initial concentration (C₁): 2.03 M

Volume of water added: 3.92 L

Step 1: Convert V₁ to liters

We will use the relationship 1 L = 1000 mL.

$93.2mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.0932 L$

Step 2: Calculate the final volume (V₂)

The final volume is the sum of the initial volume and the volume of water.

$V_2 = 0.0932L + 3.92 L = 4.01L$

Step 3: Calculate the final concentration (C₂)

We will use the dilution rule.

$C_1 \times V_1 = C_2 \times V_2\\C_2 = \frac{C_1 \times V_1}{V_2} = \frac{2.03 M \times 3.92L}{4.01L} = 1.98 M$

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

Acetone has a boiling point of 56.5 celcius. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57

vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.515 g

Explanation:

<em>Acetone (C₃H₆O) has a boiling point of 56.5 °C. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57 °C and 730 mmHg?</em>

<em />

Step 1: Given data

Temperature (T): 57°C

Pressure (P): 730 mmHg

Volume (V): 250 mL

Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 57°C + 273.15 = 330 K

Step 3: Convert "P" to atm

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

730 mmHg × (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.961 atm

Step 4: Convert "V" to L

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 1,000 mL.

250 mL × (1 L/1,000 mL) = 0.250 L

Step 5: Calculate the moles (n) of acetone

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V/R × T

n = 0.961 atm × 0.250 L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 330 K

n = 8.87 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 6: Calculate the mass corresponding to 8.87 × 10⁻³ moles of acetone

The molar mass of acetone is 58.08 g/mol.

8.87 × 10⁻³ mol × 58.08 g/mol = 0.515 g
