The reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas produces C2H5Cl as its main product (along with HCl). In addition, the react

ion invariably produces a variety of other minor products, including C2H4Cl2, C2H3Cl3, and others. Naturally, the production of these minor products reduces the yield of the main product. Calculate the percent yield of C2H5Cl if the reaction of 300. g of ethane with 650. g of chlorine produced 490. g of C2H5Cl.

Answer:

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Explanation:

C_2H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_2H_5Cl+HCl

Moles of ethane = \frac{300.0 g}{30 g/mol}=10 mol

Moles of chlorine gases =\frac{650.0 g}{71 .0 g/mol}=9.1549 mol

As we can see that 1 mol of ethane react with 1 mole of chlorine gas.the 10 moles will require 10 mole of chlorine gas, but only 9.1549 moles of chlorine gas is present.

This means that chlorine gas is in limiting amount and amount of formation of chloro-ethane will depend upon amount of chlorine gas.

According to reaction , 1 mol of chloro ethane gives 1 mol of chloro-ethane.

Then 9.1549 moles of chlorien gas will give:

\frac{1}{1}\times 9.1549 mol=9.1549 mol of chloro-ethane

Mass of 9.1549 moles of chloro-ethane:

9.1549 mol × 64.5 g/mol = 590.4910 g

Theoretical yield of  chloro-ethane: 590.4910 g

Given experimental yield of chloro-ethane: 490.0 g

\% Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

\%Yield (C_2H_5Cl)=\frac{490.0 g}{590.4910 g}\times 100=82.98\%

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Answer:

Yes it is hard. For some of us. I already gave up, but now hes coming back. Id say sometimes its useless to get his attention if he never even pays attention to you anyways. It sucks because its so hard to get then to notice you for once.

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

A sample of helium gas has a pressure of 1.20 atm at 22°c. at what celsius temperature will the helium reach a pressure of 2.00
sukhopar [10]
Gay-Lussac's law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of a gas.
it states that for a fixed amount of gas of constant volume pressure is directly proportional to temperature. 
P/T = k
where P - pressure, T - temperature and k - constant 
\frac{P1}{T1} =  \frac{P2}{T2}
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
temperature should be in the kelvin scale,
T1 = 22 °C + 273 = 295 K
substituting the values in the equation 
\frac{1.20atm}{295 K}  =  \frac{2.00 atm}{T}
T = 492 K
new temperature - 492 - 273 = 219 °C
