What is the theoretical yield of oxygen when 29.2 g of water are decomposed by electrolysis according to the balanced equation:

2H2O yields 2H2 + O2

Zinaida [17]2 years ago

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, the theoretical yield of oxygen when 29.2 g of water are decomposed by electrolysis is 25.956 grams.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

2 H₂O → 2 H₂ + O₂

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:

  • H₂O: 2 moles
  • H₂: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • H₂O: 18 g/mole
  • H₂: 2 g/mole
  • O₂: 32 g/mole

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

  • H₂O: 2 moles ×18 g/mole= 36 grams
  • H₂: 2 moles ×2 g/mole= 4 grams
  • O₂: 1 mole ×32 g/mole= 32 grams

<h3>Definition of theorical yield</h3>

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>Theorical yield of O₂</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 36 grams of water form 32 grams of oxygen, 29.2 grams of water form how much mass of oxygen?

mass of oxygen=\frac{29.2 grams of waterx32 grams of oxygen}{36 grams of water}

<u><em>mass of oxygen= 25.956 grams</em></u>

Finally, the theoretical yield of oxygen when 29.2 g of water are decomposed by electrolysis is 25.956 grams.

A saturated solution of barium fluoride, BaF2BaF2, was prepared by dissolving solid BaF2BaF2 in water. The concentration of Ba2+
babunello [35]

Answer: 1.70\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as

The equation for the ionization of the BaF_2 is given as:

BaF_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2F^-

When the solubility of BaF_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Ba^{2+}  will be S moles/liter and solubility of F^- will be 2S moles/liter.

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of BaF_2 gives 1 mole of Ba^{2+ and 2 moles of F^-

K_{sp}=[Ba^{2+}][F^{-}]^2

K_{sp}=s\times (2s)^2

K_{sp}=4\times (7.52\times 10^{-3})^3

K_{sp}=1.70\times 10^{-6}

Thus K_{sp} for BaF_2 is 1.70\times 10^{-6}

Use the thermochemical equations shown below to determine the enthalpy for the reaction: COCl2(g) + H2O(l) --&gt; CH2Cl2(l) + O2
tatiyna

Answer:

ΔH° (Enthalpy change) for the reaction is equal to (-151.5 KJ)

Explanation:

Determine the enthalpy for the reaction

           COCl₂ (g) + H₂O(l) --> CH₂Cl₂(l) + O₂(g)

It becomes easier to find the unknown value of enthalpy of a particular reaction by applying the Hess's law on the given reaction with the known value of standard enthalpy change.

\frac{1}{2} H₂(g) + \frac{1}{2}Cl₂(g) --> HCl(g) ΔH=-46 kJ -----------------------------(1)

H₂O(g) + Cl₂(g) --> 2 HCl(g) + \frac{1}{2}O₂ (g) ΔH=-21 KJ-------------------(2)

CH₂Cl₂(l) + H₂(g) + \frac{3}{2}O₂(g) --> COCl₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l) ΔH = 80.5 kJ ----------(3)

Equation (1) Multiply by factor 2 we get

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g)  ---> 2 HCl (g)   ΔH = - 46 x 2 = - 92 KJ ------------(4)

Revers the equation (2) and (3) we get

2 HCl(g) + \frac{1}{2}O₂ (g) --> H₂O(g) + Cl₂(g)  ΔH=+21 KJ ----------------(5)

COCl₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l) --> CH₂Cl₂(l) + H₂(g) + \frac{3}{2}O₂(g) ΔH = - 80.5 kJ  -----------(6)

Now add these three equations i.e., (4) + (5) + (6)

we can get these equation

                COCl₂ (g) + H₂O(l) --> CH₂Cl₂(l) + O₂(g)

The enthalpy change during the reaction = -92 + 21 -80.5 = - 151.5 KJ

the grams of carbohydrate in one apple if the apple has no fat and no protein and provides 72 kcal of energy
sergeinik [125]
<span>Carbohydrates have 4 kcal per gram of carbohydrates. (Protein is also 4 kcal/gram, while fat is 9 kcal/gram). Take the total kcal and divide by 4 kcal/gram: 72 kcal/(4 kcal/gram) = 18 grams carbohydrates.</span>
