When 28.0 g of acetylene reacts with hydrogen, 24.5 g of ethane is produced. What is the percent yield of C2H6 for the reaction?

Answer:

Y=75.6\%

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no information about the reacting hydrogen is given, we can assume that it completely react with the 28.0 g of acetylene to yield ethane. In such a way, via the 1:1 mole ratio between acetylene (molar mass = 26 g/mol) and ethane (molar mass = 30 g/mol), we compute the yielded grams, or the theoretical yield of ethane as shown below:

m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=28.0gC_2H_2*\frac{1molC_2H_2}{26gC_2H_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_2}  *\frac{30gC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_6}\\ \\m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=32.3gC_2H_6

Hence, by knowing that the percent yield is computed via the actual yield (24.5 g) over the theoretical yield, we obtain:

Y=\frac{24.5g}{32.3g}*100\%\\ \\Y=75.6\%

Best regards.

A student pours exactly 26.9 mL of HCl acid of unknown molarity into a beaker. The student then adds 2 drops of the indicator an

a.
Acids react with bases and give salt and water and the products.

Hence, HCl reacts with NaOH and gives NaCl salt and H₂O as the products. The reaction is,
            HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

To balance the reaction equation, both sides hould have same number of elements.

Left hand side,                                             Right hand side,
             
H atoms = 2                                               H atoms = 2
            Cl atoms = 1                                               Cl atoms = 1
            Na atoms = 1                                               Na atoms = 1 
           O atoms = 1                                                   O atoms = 1

Hence, the reaction equation is already balanced.

b. 
Molarity (M)= moles of solute (mol) / Volume of the solution (L)
 
          HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Molarity of NaOH = <span>0.13 M
</span>Volume of NaOH added = <span>43.7 mL
Hence, moles of NaOH added = 0.13 M x 43.7 x 10</span>⁻³ L
                                                 = 5.681 x 10⁻³ mol

Stoichiometric ratio between NaOH and HCl is 1 : 1

Hence, moles of HCl = moles of NaOH
                                    = 
5.681 x 10⁻³ mol

5.681 x 10⁻³ mol of HCl was in <span>26.9 mL.

Hence, molarity of HCl = </span>5.681 x 10⁻³ mol / 26.9 x 10⁻³ L
                                     = 0.21 M

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

Which of the following statements is true about energy quantization at the atomic level? Electrons in the outermost orbits are t
MAVERICK [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is, "Electrons in the orbit closest to the nucleus have the least amount of energy".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • There are different orbitals around the nucleus on which the electrons moves around the nucleus.
  • These orbitals have a specific energy, due to which they are known as energy levels.
  • The energy level near to the nucleus has least amount of the energy and the energy of the orbitals increase as the distance of the orbitals increase to the nucleus.
