The theoretical yield of a substance is the amount of the mass that is calculated from stoichiometry. The mass of sodium chloride produced is 13.03 gms.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass of the substance is a multiplication of the molar mass and moles.

The balanced reaction is given as:

CuCl₂ + 2NaNO₃ ⇒ 2NaCl + Cu(NO₃)₂

Moles of copper chloride are calculated as: 15 ÷ 134.45 = 0.115 moles

Moles of sodium nitrate are calculated as: 20 ÷ 84.99 = 0.2353 moles

From the reaction, 1 mole of copper chloride gives 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.115 moles of copper chloride will produce 0.223 moles.

Similarly, 2 moles of sodium nitrate produce 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.2353 moles produce 0.4706 moles.

From this, it can be concluded that copper chloride is a limiting reagent and will be used to calculate the mass of NaCl.

Mass of NaCl is calculated as: Mass = 0.223 moles × 58.44 = 13.03 gms.

Therefore, 13.03 gms is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride.

2.0 kg of carbon is heated from 25°C to 55°C, and absorbs 42600 joules of heat in the process.
Marrrta [24]

Answer: c = 710 J/kg°C or 0.71 J/g°C

Explanation: Heat is expressed in the formula Q = mc∆T. Derive to find the specific heat c. So the formula will become c = Q / m∆T

c = Q / m∆T

= 42600 J / 2 kg ( 55°C - 25°C )

= 710 J /kg°C

Or can be expressed by converting kg to g.

c = 0.71 J /g°C
