Taking into account definition of percent yield, the percent yield for the reaction is 91.17%.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Fe₂O₃: 1 mole
  • CO: 3 moles
  • Fe: 2 moles
  • CO₂: 3 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Fe₂O₃: 159.7 g/mole
  • CO: 28 g/mole
  • Fe: 55.85 g/mole
  • CO₂: 44 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Fe₂O₃: 1 mole ×159.7 g/mole= 159.7 grams
  • CO: 3 moles ×28 g/mole= 84 grams
  • Fe: 2 moles ×55.85 g/mole= 111.7 grams
  • CO₂: 3 moles ×44 g/mole= 132 grams
<h3>Mass of Fe formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 159.7 grams of Fe₂O₃ form 111.7 grams of Fe, 50.5 grams of Fe₂O₃ form how much mass of Fe?

mass of Fe=\frac{50.5 grams of Fe_{2} O_{3} x111.7 grams of Fe}{159.7 grams of Fe_{2} O_{3}}

<u><em>mass of Fe= 35.32 grams</em></u>

Then, 35.32 grams of Fe can be produced from 50.5 g iron(III) oxide.

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual return to the theoretical return expressed as a percentage.

The percent yield is calculated as the experimental yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100%:

percent yield=\frac{actual yield}{theorical yield}x100

where the theoretical yield is the amount of product acquired through the complete conversion of all reagents in the final product, that is, it is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reagents.

<h3>Percent yield for the reaction in this case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • actual yield= 32.2 grams
  • theorical yield= 35.32 grams

Replacing in the definition of percent yields:

percent yield=\frac{32.2grams}{35.32grams}x100

Solving:

<u><em>percent yield= 91.17%</em></u>

Finally, the percent yield for the reaction is 91.17%.

How much of a 0.250 M lithium hydroxide is required to neutralize 20.0 mL of 0.345M chlorous acid?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M

Explanation:

The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:

LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O

<em>That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid</em>

Moles of  20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:

0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = <em>6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂</em>

To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:

6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =

Pls help question 2 ill attach a picture​
Finger [1]

Answer:

X 154

Check solution in explanation

Explanation:

Average atomic mass = ( mass 1× abudance) + ( mass 2× abudance)+ ( mass 3× abudance) / 100

(149×13.8)+(152×44.9) +(154×41.3)/100

2056.2 + 6824.8 + 6360.2/100

=152.412

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP
tekilochka [14]

Answer:  See below

Explanation:  a.  The mass of an element is composed of:

protons:     1 amu each

neutrons:   1 amu each

electrons:   0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b.  Electrons are assigned a mass of 0.  They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c.  An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
