Flat as more oxygen and water can react over it think of it like this would a cube rust faster than a sheet

Sample Response: The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction

Sulfurous acid, h2so3, breaks down into water (h2o) and sulfur dioxide (so2). if only one molecule of sulfurous acid was involve

devlian [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction equation will be as follows.

$H_{2}SO_{3} \rightarrow H_{2}O + SO_{2}$

Now, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

H = 2

S = 1

O = 3

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

H = 2

S = 1

O = 3

Therefore, this equation is balanced since atoms on both reactant and product sides are equal.

Thus, we can conclude that there is one sulfur atom in the products.

Solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCI) to form carbon dioxide, water, and

Pavlova-9 [17]

Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)

When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.

The rate of the reaction can be increased by

Using a more concentrated HCl solution

Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder

When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.

When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.

Percentage yield of sodium peroxide if 5 g of sodium oxide produces 5.5 g of sodium peroxide

Rama09 [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

87.40 %

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Percent yield of a product

We are given;

Mass of Sodium oxide 5 g

Experimental or Actual yield of sodium peroxide IS 5.5 g

We are required to calculate the percent yield of sodium peroxide;

The equation for the reaction that forms sodium peroxide is

2Na₂O + O₂ → 2Na₂O₂

<h3>Step 1; moles of sodium oxide</h3>

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of sodium oxide is 61.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles = 5 g ÷ 61.98 g/mol

= 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 2: Theoretical moles of sodium peroxide produced </h3>

From the equation, 2 moles of sodium oxide produces 1 mole of sodium peroxide.

Thus, moles of sodium peroxide used is 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 3: Theoretical mass of sodium peroxide used</h3>

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of sodium peroxide = 77.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass = 0.0807 moles × 77.98 g/mol

= 6.293 g

Theoretical mass of Na₂O₂ is 6.293 g

<h3>Step 4: Percent yield of Na₂O₂</h3>

We know that percent yield is given by the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

$Percent yield=(\frac{Actual yield}{theoretical yield})100$

$Percent yield(Na_{2}O_{2})=(\frac{5.5g}{6.293g})100$

= 87.40 %

Therefore, the percentage yield of sodium peroxide is 87.4%

A chemical engineer calculated that 15.0 mol H2 was needed to react with excess N2 to prepare 10.0 mol NH3. But the actual yield

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The actual number of moles is 9 moles.

It is less than 15

Number of moles needed is 9 moles

Explanation:

15H2 + 10N2 ——-> 10NH3

Now from the question, we can see that the percentage yield is 60%

The percentage yield can be calculated as actual moles of H2/Theoretical moles of H2 * 100%

From the equation, we can see that the theoretical number of moles of hydrogen is 15.

Now to get the actual : 60 = x/15 * 100

x = 9

The actual number of moles is 9 moles.

It is less than 15

Number of moles needed is 9 moles
