Taking into account definition of percent yield, the percent yield for the reaction is 57.08%.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CH₄ + Cl₂ → CH₃Cl + HCl

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:

  • CH₄: 1 mole
  • Cl₂: 1 mole
  • CH₃Cl: 1  mole
  • HCl:  1 mole

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • CH₄: 16 g/mole
  • Cl₂: 70.9 g/mole
  • CH₃Cl: 50.45 g/mole
  • HCl:  36.45 g/mole

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

  • CH₄: 1 mole ×16 g/mole= 16 grams
  • Cl₂: 1 mole ×70.9 g/mole= 70.9 grams
  • CH₃Cl: 1 mole ×50.45 g/mole= 50.45 grams
  • HCl: 1 mole ×36.45 g/mole= 36.45 grams

Mass of CH₃Cl formed

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 16 grams of CH₄ form 50.45 grams of CH₃Cl, 25 grams of CH₄ form how much mass of CH₃Cl?

mass of CH_{3} Cl=\frac{25 grams of CH_{4}x 50.45grams of CH₃Cl }{16 grams of CH_{4}}

<u><em>mass of CH₃Cl= 78.83 grams</em></u>

Then, 78.83 grams of CH₃Cl can be produced from 25 grams of CH₄.

<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.

Percent yield for the reaction in this case

In this case, you know:

  • actual yield= 45 grams
  • theorical yield= 78.83 grams

Replacing in the definition of percent yields:

percent yield=\frac{45 grams}{78.83 grams}x100

Solving:

<u><em>percent yield= 57.08%</em></u>

Finally, the percent yield for the reaction is 57.08%.

Does wind speed affect evaporation? How?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Wind moving over a water or land surface can also carry away water vapor, essentially drying the air, which leads to increased evaporation rates.

Unknown element has two isotopes. Isotope A has a mass of 34 amu and abundance of 52%, isotope B has a mass of 33 amu and abunda
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

x = 33.52 amu

Explanation:

It is given that,

Isotope A has a mass of 34 amu and an abundance of 52%, isotope B has a mass of 33 amu and an abundance of 48%.

Let x is the average atomic mass of this element. It can be calculated as follows :

x=52\%\ \text{of}\ 34+48\%\ \text{of}\ 33\\\\x=\dfrac{52}{100}\times 34+\dfrac{48}{100}\times 33\\\\x=0.52\times 34+0.48\times 33\\\\x=33.52\ \text{amu}

So, the average atomic mass of this element is 33.52 amu.

Given the following sets of values, calculate the unknown
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

3.91 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas law equation as follows:

PV = nRT

Where:

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Based on the information given in this question,

P = 5.23 atm

V= ?

n = 0.831 mol

T = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (0.831 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 5.23

V = 20.47 ÷ 5.23

V = 3.91 L

Which of the alternative energy sources do you think would have the least impact on the environment.
QveST [7]
Solar Power, Microbial fuel cell. These two and I am sure other ways as well Solar power as you guess use the sun as a power energy source with non-waste and long lasting use. Microbial fuel uses the bacteria aka decomposers turn the sugars, nutrients into rich soil while also releasing electrons back into the soil and can be used as a energy source.
