Answer:

  • <u>79%</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Balanced chemical equation:</u>

  • 2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

<u>2) Mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol S : 3 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO₃

<u>3) Limiting reactant:</u>

  • Number of moles of O₂

        n = 6.0 g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O₂

  • Number of moles of S:

         n = 7.0 g / 32.065 g/mol = 0.2183 mol S

  • Ratios:

        Actual ratio: 0.1875 mol O₂ / 0.2183 mol S =0.859

        Theoretical ratio: 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol S = 1.5

Since there is a smaller proportion of O₂ (0.859) than the theoretical ratio (1.5), O₂ will be used before all S be consumed, and O₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>4) Calcuate theoretical yield (using the limiting reactant):</u>

  • 0.1875 mol O₂ / x = 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol SO₃

  • x = 0.1875 × 2 / 3 mol SO₃ =  0.125 mol SO₃

<u>5) Yield in grams:</u>

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass = 0.125 mol × 80.06 g/mol =  10.0 g

<u>6) </u><em><u>Percent yield:</u></em>

  • Percent yield, % = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100
  • % = (7.9 g / 10.0 g) × 100 = 79%

<h2>Selective & Differential Medium</h2>

Explanation:

  • Selective media allow specific types of organisms to develop, and inhibit the development of different living beings. The selectivity is cultivated in a few ways.For model, living beings that can use a given sugar are handily screened by making that sugar the main carbon source in the medium. On the other hand,selective hindrance of certain sorts of microorganisms can be accomplished by adding dyes, anti-infection agents, salts or explicit inhibitors which influence the digestion or enzyme systems of the living beings
  • Differential media are utilized to separate firmly related life forms or groups of living beings. owing to the pre of specific colors or synthetic compounds in the media, the creatures will deliver trademark changes or development designs that are utilized for ID or separation. An assortment of particular and differential media are utilized in clinical, demonstrative and water contamination research facilities, and in food and dairy laboratories
  • Selective media because elevated NaCI level is designed to help grow selective bacteria.differential media because the fermented sugar gives off a yellow halo which allows for differentiate between bacteria

A student adds solid KCl to water in a flask. The flask is sealed with a stopper and thoroughly shaken until no more solid KCl d
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Option (A) saturated and is at equilibrium with the solid KCl

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution which can not dissolve more solute in the solution.

From the question given above, we can see that the solution is saturated as it can not further dissolve any more KCl as some KCl is still visible in the flask.

Equilibrium is attained in a chemical reaction when there is no observable change in the reaction system with time. Now, observing the question given we can see that there is no change in flask as some KCl is still visible even after thorough shaking. This simply implies that the solution is in equilibrium with the KCl solid as no further dissolution occurs.

Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. He starts with a hydrate of Na2CO3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heati
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

        Number of moles  = \frac{mass }{molar mass }

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)]  = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = \frac{3.22}{106} = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O =  \frac{1.09}{18} = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

                          Na₂CO₃                               H₂O

                           0.03                                    0.06

Simplest

Ratio                  0.03/0.03                         0.03/0.06

                                 1                                      2

Therefore, x = 2

One of the emission spectral lines for Be3+ has a wavelength of 253.4 nm for an electronic transition that begins in the state w
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Relationship between wavenumber and Rydberg constant (R) is as follows:

wave\ number=R\times Z^2\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_1^2}

Here, Z is atomic number.

R=109677 cm^-1

Wavenumber is related with wavelength as follows:

wavenumber = 1/wavelength

wavelength = 253.4 nm

wavenumber=\frac{1}{253.4\times 10^{-9}} \\=39463.3\ cm^{-1}

Z fro Be = 4

39463.3=109677\times 4^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\39463.3=109677\times 16(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\n_1=4

Therefore, the principal quantum number corresponding to the given emission is 4.
