Answer:

94.6%

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2Cl2(g) + C2H2(g) → C2H2Cl4(l)

Step 2:

Determination of the mass of Cl2 that reacted and the mass of C2H2Cl4 produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71g/mol

Mass of Cl2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 71 = 142g

Molar Mass of C2H2Cl4 = (12x2) + (2x1) + (35.5x4) = 168g.

Mass of C2H2Cl4 from the balanced equation = 1 x 168 = 168g

Therefore, 146g of Cl2 reacted and 168g of C2H2Cl4 were produced from the balanced equation.

Step 3:

Determination of the theoretical yield of C2H2Cl4.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

146g of Cl2 reacted to produce 168g of C2H2Cl4.

Therefore, 15g of Cl2 will react to produce = (15 x 168)/142 = 17.75g of C2H2Cl4.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of C2H2Cl4 is 17.75g

Step 4:

Determination of the percentage yield of C2H2Cl4.

The percentage yield of C2H2Cl4 can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield of C2H2Cl4 = 16.8g

Theoretical yield of C2H2Cl4 = 17.75g

Percentage yield of C2H2Cl4 =..?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 16.8/17.75 x 100

Percentage yield = 94.6%

Therefore, the percentage yield of C2H2Cl4 is 94.6%

Answer:

$Y=84.5\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the reaction, we can compute the moles of chlorine that are consumed and the yielded grams of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane by using their molar masses, 70.9 g/mol and 167.8 g/mol respectively by using their 2:1 molar ratio:

$m_{C_2H_2Cl_4 }=15.0gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_2Cl_4 }{2molCl_2} *\frac{167.8gC_2H_2Cl_4 }{1molC_2H_2Cl_4 } \\\\m_{C_2H_2Cl_4 }=17.75gC_2H_2Cl_4$

Then we compute the percent yield:

$Y=\frac{15.0g}{17.75g}*100\%\\ \\Y=84.5\%$

Best regards.

If the tip of the syringe, "The Titrator", was not filled with NaOH before the initial volume reading was recorded, would the co

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The concentration of acetic acid in vinegar of that trial would be <u><em>greater than</em></u> the actual concentration.

Explanation:

"The titrator" contains the base solution (NaOH) with which the soution of vinegar (acetic acid) is being titrated.

Under the assumption that the tip of the syringe was not filled before the initial volume reading was recorded, part of the volume of the base that you release will be retained in the tip of the syringe, and, consequently, the actual volume of base added to the acetic acid will be less than what you will calculate by the difference of readings.

So, in your calculations you will use a larger volume of the base than what was actually used, yielding a fake larger number of moles of base than the actual amount added.

So, as at the neutralization point the number of equivalents of the base equals the number of acid equivalents, you will be reporting a greater number of acid equivalents, which in turn will result in a greater concentration than the actual one. This means that the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar of that trial would be greater than the actual concentration.

recheck Fusion reactions power the in space. Humans currently use fusion in , but researchers are seeking more applications.

One: looks to be correct for both answers. Certainly the first one is. The second depends on your other choices. But military use is one.

Two: is correct. Pd has (in this case) an atomic mass of 114 and its number is 46

Three: Even with my slop numbers, 4.98 is the answer (although I get 4.99 but again, my numbers are pretty sloppy).

Four: Slop numbers say 78.3, but 78 is the right answer.

They are all correct. Very Fine Work.

How many grams of KBr are required to make 550. mL of a 0.115 M KBr solution?

In-s [12.5K]

Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. We calculate as follows:

0.115 M = n mol KBr / .55 L solution

n = 0.06325 mol KBr

mass = 0.06325 mol KBr (119 g / mol) = 7.53 g KBr

A large cylindrical tank contains 0.750 m3 of nitrogen gas at 27°C and 7.50 * 103 Pa (absolute pressure). The tank has a tight‐f

Nuetrik [128]

Answer: The answer is 68142.4 Pa

Explanation:

Given that the initial properties of the cylindrical tank are :

Volume V1= 0.750m3

Temperature T1= 27C

Pressure P1 =7.5*10^3 Pa= 7500Pa

Final properties of the tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature :

Volume V2 =0.480m3

Temperature T2 = 157C

Pressure P2 =?

Applying the gas law equation (Charles and Boyle's laws combined)

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(7500 * 0.750)/27 =( P2 * 0.480)/157

P2 =(7500 * 0.750* 157) / (0.480 *27)

P2 = 883125/12.96

P2 = 68142.4Pa

Therefore the pressure of the cylindrical tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature is 68142.4Pa

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N
