only. SiO2. 47% by mass of Silicon is found on analysis. Determine its formula.
SiO2
What mass of aluminium oxide is produced when 9.2 grams of aluminium metal reacts
completely with oxygen gas.
26 is the molar mass.
9.2/26 = moles of aluminium present
4Al + 3O2 ==> 2Al2O3
4:2
2:10
0.177 moles of alumina. 17.7g of alumina
Heating 12.4 grams of CuCO3 in a crucible produced only 7.0grams of CuO. What is
the percentage yield CuO?
CuCO3 ==> CuO + CO2
0.1 mole of CuCO3
0.0875 moles of CuO
0.0875/0.1 x 100 = 87.5%
