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.

Why are the trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed? Check all that apply. Ionization energy tends to
NNADVOKAT [17]
The trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed includes;
B, ionization energy tends to increase across a period because the nuclear charge increases.
C, ionization energy tends to increase across a period because electrons are added to the same main energy level.
E, The ionization energies of elements in Group 13 tend to be lower than the elements in Group 2 because the full s orbital shields the electron, in the p orbital from the nucleus. 
Ionization energies measure the tendency of a neutral atom to resist the loss of electrons. It takes a considerable amount of energy, for example to remove an electron from a neutral fluorine atom to form a positively charged ion. <span />

Jim takes 45 seconds to walk 180 meters north to a store what is jims meters per second
Delicious77 [7]
It would be 4 meters per second. With this you'd only have to take 180, ans divide 45 from it to finally get your answer! I hope all is well, and you end up passing. (:
