Answer:
Mass = 8.46 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of water produced = ?
Mass of glucose = 20 g
Mass of oxygen = 15 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂
Number of moles of glucose:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.11 mol
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.47 mol
now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.
C₆H₁₂O₆ : H₂O
1 : 6
0.11 : 6/1×0.11 = 0.66
O₂ : H₂O
6 : 6
0.47 : 0.47
Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.
Mass of water produced:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.47 mol ×18 g/mol
Mass = 8.46 g
You're off to a good start, now find the mass of H2O and put it under I mol,
then multiply 1 mol over the mass of H2O by 215 grams
<span>the theoretical yield which is the expected yield and the actual yield obtained are not always the same. therefore percent yield is calculated which shows how much of the percentage of the theoretical yield is actually obtained.
the theoretical yield = 56.0 g
actual yield = 47.0 g
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100 %
percent yield = 47.0 / 56.0 x 100% = 83.9 %
percent yield = 83.9 %</span>
