If the rate of decomposition of ammonia, NH3, at 1150 K is 2.10 x 10-6 mol/L/s, what is the
Alina [70]

Answer:

3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 NH₃ ⇒ 3 H₂ + N₂

Step 2: Calculate the rate of production of H₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to H₂ is 2:3. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of H₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 3 mol H₂/2 mol NH₃ = 3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

Step 3: Calculate the rate of production of N₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to N₂ is 2:1. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of N₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 1 mol N₂/2 mol NH₃ = 1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

When heat is applied to 80 grams of CaCO3, it yields 39 grams of B. Determine the percentage of the yield.
EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When heat is applied to 80 grams of CaCO3, it yields 39 grams of CaO Determine the percentage of the yield.

CaCO3→CaO + CO2

<u>Answer:</u> The % yield of the product is 87.05 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of CaCO_3 = 80 g

Molar mass of CaCO_3 = 100 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{80g}{100g/mol}=0.8mol

For the given chemical reaction:

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 1 mole of CaCO_3 produces 1 mole of CaO

So, 0.8 moles of CaCO_3 will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.8=0.8mol of CaO

We know, molar mass of CaO = 56 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass of CaO}=(0.8mol\times 56g/mol)=44.8g

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100 ......(2)

Given values:

Actual value of the product = 39 g

Theoretical value of the product = 44.8 g

Plugging values in equation 2:

\% \text{yield}=\frac{39 g}{44.8g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield}=87.05\%

Hence, the % yield of the product is 87.05 %
