Hydrogen peroxide is oxidized with permanganate solution to produce oxygen gas by the following reaction:

Chemistry
1 answer:

The percentage yield of the oxygen gas is 60%.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

The reaction equation is;

2H^+ + H2O2 + 2MnO4 -> 2MnO2 + 4H2O + 3O2

Number of moles of hydrogen peroxide = 30/1000 * 0.30 M = 9 * 10^-3 moles

Number of moles of  potassium permanganate = 30/1000 * 0.30 M = 9 * 10^-3 moles

Now;

1 mole of H2O2 reacts with 2 moles of permanganate

 9 * 10^-3 moles of H2O2 reacts with  9 * 10^-3 moles * 2 moles/1 mole  

= 1.8 * 10^-2 moles

Hence, permanganate is the limiting reactant

b) The theoretical yield of oxygen is;

2 moles of oxygen produced 3 moles of O2

9 * 10^-3 moles oxygen  produced 9 * 10^-3 moles *  3 moles/2 moles

= 0.0135 moles

If 1 mole of O2 occupies 22.4 L

0.0135 moles of O2 occupies 0.0135 moles * 22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 0.302 L or 302 mL

c) Percentage yield of oxygen = 178 mL/ 302 mL * 100/1

= 60%

A 10.0-g sample of sodium chloride was placed in 10.0 g of water. If 3.85 g of Cl2 was obtained, what was the percent yield of C
suter [353]

Answer:

63.53% yield

Explanation:

The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2

First we must find the limiting reactant

From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>

From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory

so we know NaCl is the limiting

% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so

(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield

Which is the coal with the highest energy available per unit to burn: lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, or anthracite?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Anthracite

Explanation:

Anthracite produce highest amount of energy than other. It contain 86-97 percent carbon. Bituminous coal contain 45-86 percent carbon.

Subbituminous cola have 35-45 percent carbon while lignite contain 25-35 percent carbon.

Coal is source of many organic materials. It is fossil fuel and form after long period decay of plants. It is formed when trees are buried under earth

about 500 million years ago. The chemical and bacterial reactions take place and plant wood converted into the peat.

Than because of high temperature and pressure inside the earth peat is converted into the coal.

Through other processes it is than used to make the fuels such as coke. coal tar and coal gas.

Coal tar is the source of many organic compounds which are separated through fractional distillation.

About 80% of coal in Pakistan is used to bake the bricks and also used in lime kilns and for domestic purpose.
