A pyrotechnician mixes 280 g of black powder for a firework. Find the amount of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide generated when this firework bursts, if the oxidizing agent in the powder is saltpeter. Which are the limiting reactants for each reaction? Based on this, calculate the maximum yield of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide when 280 g of black powder is burned. When the pyrotechnician tested the firework, he found the actual yields of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide to be 81.57 g, 82.75 g, and 46.5 g respectively. What is the percent yield of each gas? Why should pyrotechnicians worry about the yield of the reactants in a firework? How does the yield affect the firework and the environment?

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask
