Aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) and liquid w

ater (H2O) . If 9.17g of water is produced from the reaction of 21.1g of hydrochloric acid and 43.6 of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of water.

Answer:

87.9 % is the percent yield of H₂O

Explanation:

This is the neutralization reaction. A base reacts with an acid to produce water and the correspondly ionic salt.

NaOH  +  HCl  → NaCl +  H₂O

As we have the mass of the two reactants, we must determine the limiting reactant.

Let's convert to moles, the mass of each reactant. (mass / molar mass)

21.1 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.579 moles of HCl

46.3 g / 40g/mol = 1.15 moles of NaOH

Ratio is 1:1, so it is obviously that the limiting reactant is the HCl. For 1.15 moles of NaOH, i need the same amount of acid, but I only have 0.579 moles

Let's work with the products now. Ratio is 1:1 again, so If I have 0.579 moles of acid, I can produce 0.579 moles of H₂O.

How many grams are 0.579 moles of water? We should find it out as this

mol . molar mass = mass → 0.579 mol . 18 g/mol = 10.4 g

We were told that the production of water was 9.17 g, so let's determine the percent yield as this:

(Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 =

(9.17 g / 10.4g ) . 100 = 87.9 %

Sloan [31]

Answer:

B. How many of each atom are present in the compound

D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, chemical elements or atoms are represented by a chemical symbol for example Fe for iron and Na for sodium, and the number of each atom is represented by a subscript such as CO2, where 2 is a subscript representing 2 atoms of oxygen.

A subscript represents the number of each atom in the compound and the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other. The simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other means subscript shows the contribution of both the atoms in the compound, for example: N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3, it means the subscript showing the ratio or proportionate of atoms that is 2:2 for both nitrogen and hydrogen.

The subscript is always written below and to the right of the chemical symbol.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. How many of each atom are present in the compound and D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other"

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The response options are as follows:

I. C-O or C=O

II. C-C

III. C-H

IV. O-H

The answer is: IV>III>I>II

Explanation:

V) O-H is a hydrogen bridge. The hydrogen bridge is characterized by being similar to dipole-dipole bonds.

III) C-H is an ionic bond. The ionic bond occurs when they fuse together due to electron transfer.

I) C=O is a covalent bond. The covalent bond happens when two atoms bond together to create a molecule, sharing its electrons that are in its most superficial layer,

II) C-C is covalent bond.
