<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of magnesium chloride is 58.6 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For magnesium hydroxide:</u>

Given mass of magnesium hydroxide = 50.6 g

Molar mass of magnesium hydroxide = 58.32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of magnesium hydroxide}=\frac{50.6g}{58.32g/mol}=0.87mol

  • <u>For HCl:</u>

Given mass of HCl = 45.0 g

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{45.0g}{36.5g/mol}=1.23mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium hydroxide and HCl follows:

Mg(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide

So, 1.23 moles of HCl will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.23=0.615mol of magnesium hydroxide

As, given amount of magnesium hydroxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, HCl is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl produces 1 mole of magnesium chloride

So, 1.23 moles of HCl will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.23=0.615mol of magnesium chloride

  • To calculate the theoretical yield of magnesium chloride we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of magnesium chloride = 95.21 g/mol

Moles of magnesium chloride = 0.615 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.615mol=\frac{\text{Mass of magnesium chloride}}{95.21g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of magnesium chloride}=(0.615mol\times 95.21g/mol)=58.6g

Hence, the theoretical yield of magnesium chloride is 58.6 g

What is the mole fraction of each component if 3.9 g of benzene (C6H6) is dissolved in 4.6 g of toluene (C7H8)
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step 1 of 6

(a)

The mass of benzene is  , so calculate the moles of benzene as follows:



The mass of toluene is, so calculate the moles of toluene as follows:



Now, calculate the mole fraction as follows:





Therefore, the mole fraction of benzene and toluene is  and  respectively.

Step 2 of 6

(b)

The formula to calculate the partial pressure is as follows:



Here,  is the partial pressure of benzene,  is the vapour pressure of pure benzene and  is the mole fraction of benzene.

Vapour pressure of pure benzene at  is.

Substitute the values in the equation as follows:



Therefore, the partial pressure is  .

Step 3 of 6

(c)

Vapor pressure of the solution at 1 atm is  .

When the total pressure of the vapour pressure of the mixture is  at a temperature, then, the solution boils. It corresponds to the boiling point of the solution.

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will not boil at  .

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will boil at  .

Therefore, the boiling point of the solution is  .

Step 4 of 6

(d)

Mole fraction of benzene at  is calculated as follows:



Mole fraction of toluene at  is calculated as follows:



Therefore, the mole fractions of benzene and toluene are  and  respectively.

Step 5 of 6

(e)

Vapor pressure of benzene at  is  .

Partial pressure of benzene is calculated as follows:



Vapor pressure of toluene at  is  .

Partial pressure of toluene is calculated as follows:



Step 6 of 6

How many milliliters of a 0.40%(w/v) solution of nalorphine must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg?
ozzi
The number  of Ml  of  a  0.40 %w/v solution  of   ,nalorphine  that must  be injected  to  obtain  a  dose  of 1.5 mg is  calculated as  below


since M/v%   is  mass  of solute  in  grams per 100  ml

convert Mg to  g
1 g = 1000 mg  what  about  1.5 mg =?  grams
=   1.5 /1000 = 0.0015 grams


volume is therefore =  100 (  mass/ M/v%)

= 100  x(  0.0015/ 0.4) =  0.375  ML
