<span>30.% Determine the molar mass of NH3 and NO Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol Molar mass NO = 14.0067 + 15.999 = 30.0057 g/mol Moles NH3 = 8.5 / 17.03052 = 0.499103962 mol Moles NO = 4.5 / 30.0057 = 0.149971505 mol Looking at the balanced equation, for every mole of NH3 consumed, you should get one mole of NO. So if we had 100% yield, we should have 0.499103962 moles of NO. But we don't. The percent yield is a simple matter of division by what we did get by what we should get. So 0.149971505 / 0.499103962 = 0.300481497 = 30.0481497% Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 30.% yield.</span>

In a chemistry lab, you have two vinegars. one is 5% acetic acid, and one is 6.5% acetic acid. you want to make 200 ml of a vine

nexus9112 [7]

Assume that the amount needed from the 5% acid is x and that the amount needed from the 6.5% acid is y.

We are given that:
The volume of the final solution is 200 ml
This means that:
x + y = 200
This can be rewritten as:
x = 200 - y .......> equation I

We are also given that:
The concentration of the final solution is 6%
This means that:
5%x + 6.5%y = 6% (x+y)
This can be rewritten as:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y) ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y)
0.05 (200-y) + 0.065 y = 0.06 (200-y+y)
10 - 0.05 y + 0.065 y = 12
0.015y = 12-10 = 2
y = 2/0.015
y = 133.3334 ml

Substitute with the y in equation I to get the x as follows:
x = 200 - y
x = 200 - 133.3334
x = 66.6667 ml

Based on the above calculations:
The amount required from the 5% acid = x = 66.6667 ml
The amount required from the 6.5% acid = y = 133.3334 ml

Hope this helps :)

A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a

Nata [24]

Answer:

There are present 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of CuSO₄ anhydrous is:

23,403g - 22,652g = 0,751g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159,609g/mol. The moles are:

0,751g × $\frac{1mol}{159,609g}$ = 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

Now, the mass of water present in the initial sample is:

23,875g - 0,751g - 22,652g = 0,472g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of H₂O is 18,02g/mol. The moles are:

0,472g × $\frac{1mol}{18,02g}$ = 2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The ratio of moles H₂O:CuSO₄ is:

2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5,5668

That means that you have <em>5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.</em>

I hope it helps!

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on Earth?

RUDIKE [14]

Actually mass and weight are two different things but most people did not understand the difference between them. And they are used synonymously on the earth. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter and weight is the measure of how the force of gravity acts on the mass that is Weight = mass x force of gravity. And they are also directly proportional to each other that is also the reason both terms are used synonymously.

The molecular mass of air, at standard pressure and temperature, is approximately 28.97 g/mol. Calculate the mass of 3.33 moles

poizon [28]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Mass = 96.47 g

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

M.Mass = 28.97 g.mol⁻¹

Moles = 3.33 mol

Mass = ??

Formula Used:

Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass

Solving for Mass,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Putting values,

Mass = 3.33 mol × 28.97 g.mol⁻¹

Mass = 96.4701 g

Rounding to four significant numbers,

Mass = 96.47 g
