Answer

b. 95%

Explanation

Given:

Mass of K₂O produced (actual yield) = 28.56 g

Mass of K that reacted = 25.00 g

Equation: 4K(s) + O₂(g) → 2K₂0(s)

What to find:

The percent yield of K₂O.

Step-by-step solution:

The first step is to calculate the theoretical yield of K₂O produced.

From the balanced equation, 4 mol K produced 2 mol K₂O

Molar mass of K₂O = 94.20 g/mol)

Molar mass of K = 39.10 g/mol)

This means 4 mol x 39.10 g/mol = 156.40 g K produced 2 mol x 94.20 g/mol = 188.40 g K₂O

So 25.00 g K will produce:

\frac{25.00\text{ }g\text{ }K\times188.40\text{ }g\text{ }K₂O}{156.40\text{ }g\text{ }K}=30.1151\text{ }g\text{ }K₂O

Actual yield of K₂O = 28.56 g

Theoretical yield of k₂O = 30.1151 g

The percent yield for the reaction can now be calculated using the formula below:

\begin{gathered} Percent\text{ }yield=\frac{Actual\text{ }yield}{Theoretical\text{ }yield}\times100\% \\  \\ Percent\text{ }yield=\frac{28.56\text{ }g}{30.1151\text{ }g}\times100\% \\  \\ Percent\text{ }yield=0.9484\times100\% \\  \\ Percent\text{ }yield=94.84\%\approx95\% \end{gathered}

Therefore, the percent yield for the reaction is 95%.

Determine the percent ionization of a 0.225 M solution of benzoic acid. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

1.68% is ionized

Explanation:

The Ka of benzoic acid, C₇H₆O₂, is 6.46x10⁻⁵, the equilibrium in water of this acid is:

C₇H₆O₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₇H₅O₂⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Ka = 6.46x10⁻⁵ = [C₇H₅O₂⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [C₇H₆O₂]

<em>Where [] are concentrations in equilibrium</em>

In equilibrium, some 0.225M of the acid will react producing both C₇H₅O₂⁻ and H₃O⁺, the equilibrium concentrations are:

[C₇H₆O₂] = 0.225-X

[C₇H₅O₂⁻] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing:

6.46x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.225-X]

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X = X²

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = -0.0038. False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00378M. Right solution.

That means percent ionization (100 times Amount of benzoic acid ionized  over the initial concentration of the acid) is:

0.00378M / 0.225M * 100 =

<h3>1.68% is ionized</h3>
