What is the % yield if 12g of magnesium is dissolved in hydrochloric acid to produce 20g of magnesium chloride?

First we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction. In this case it is Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl 2 + H 2 . Now we need to work out the maximum theoretical yield of MgCl 2 from 12g of Mg. 12g of Mg is 0...

Differentiate the function f(x) = 2x^3 + (cos(x))^2 + e^x

When differentiating a function that is the sum of three different parts we can differentiate each part separately: a) 2x 3 is easy to differentiate. We remember the rule d/dx[ax b ] = abx b-1 . So 2x 3 --&g...

A stationary particle explodes into 3: A (to the left), B and C (both to the right). B has mass m and speed 3v. C has mass 2m and speed v. A has speed 2v. What is the mass of A in terms of m?

The key to solving this is remembering that momentum is conserved. The large, initial particle has no speed so its momentum is zero. Therefore, if we add together the momenta of the final particles we also g...
