If you run this reaction with 15 g of CuCl2 and 20 g NaNO3, what is the theoretical yield of NaCl?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

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.

Why do scientist study volcanos!!

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Volcanologists use many different kinds of tools including instruments that detect and record earthquakes (seismometers and seimographs), instruments that measure ground deformation (EDM, Leveling, GPS, tilt), instruments that detect and measure volcanic gases (COSPEC), instruments that determine how much lava is moving underground (VLF, EM-31), video and still cameras, infrared cameras, satellite imagers, webcams, etc!

Question 7-Which of the following is not an acid-base neutralization reaction?

docker41 [41]

Answer:- It is choice D. $H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4$

Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.

in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.

So, the correct choice is D. $H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4$

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.
