Explanation:

Cr2O3+2Al -> Al2O3

this is your balanced equation

you are given mass of the chromium oxide (225g) and the aluminum (124g)

set up a limiting reactant problem and find how much Alumium oxide could be produced from each reactant.

chromiun oxide

225gCr2O3 * 1molCr2O3/151.99gCr2O3 * 1 molAl2O3/1molCr2O3 * 113.97gAl2O3 =168.67g Al2O3

now with aluminum

124gAl * 1molAl/26.98gAl * 1molAl2O3/2molAl *113.97gAl2O3/1molAl2O3 = 523.69g Al2O3

The smaller answer is your theoritical yield, so chromium oxide is your limiting reactant because it will make less aluminum oxide.

the equation to find percent yield=(actual/theoretical)*100

your actual yield is the 100g you actually made

So percent yield=(100.0g/168.67)*100

=59.287

Many bird species build nests in which they raise their offspring. one of these species is known as the magnolia warbler. breeding pairs of magnolia warblers build nests out of pieces of grass and twigs. the female warbler will then lay her eggs in the nest and sit on the eggs for a few weeks until they hatch. after the offspring have hatched, the female will continue to sit on the newborn chicks to keep them warm. both the male and the female bring food for the offspring to eat until the young are mature enough to find food on their own. which of these most likely describes why birds such as the magnolia warbler build nests in which to raise their offspring? a. nest building decreases the amount of energy used by the parent birds to raise their offspring to adulthood. b. nest building increases the probability that the offspring will survive and eventually produce offspring of their own. c. nest building decreases the amount of food that the offspring require the adult birds to provide. d. nest building increases the probability of the offspring being located by airborne predators.
