The theoretical and percentage yield for the reaction are:

  • The theoretical yield is 21 g
  • The percentage yield is 119%

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂ to produce 44 g of CO₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂

Therefore,

20 g of CH₄ will react with = (20 × 64 ) / 16 = 80 g of O₂

From the above calculation, a higher mass (i.e 80 g) of O₂ than what was given (i.e 30 g) is needed to react completely with 20 g of CH₄.

Therefore, O₂ is the limiting reactant

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂

Therefore,

30g of O₂ will react to produce = (30 × 44) / 64 = 21 g of CO₂

<h3>How to determine the percentage yield </h3>
  • Actual yield of CO₂ = 25 g
  • Theoretical yield of CO₂ = 21 g
  • Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100

Percentage yield = (25 / 21) ×100

Percentage yield = 119%

Rory answered that absolute zero is 0°K. Is this answer correct? Explain why or why not.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Yes, this answer is correct.

Explanation:

Absolute zero is -273.15 degrees celsius

T= Tc+273.15

T is the kelvin temperature

Tc is the temperature in degrees celsius

substitute;

T= -273.15 + 273.15

T=0 K

If you are told that one of them is Cr2O3 and the other is OsO4, which one do you expect to be the yellow solid?
Katen [24]
From own experience, I know that OsO4 is colorless, but Cr2O3 is actually a solid green from what I have seen. but I guess it could appear yellow-greenish.
