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 %

How do I explain this? I'm a little stuck. :/
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Not balance.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

K + Cl₂    →    KCl

The given equation is not balance because there are one potassium and two chlorine atoms on left side of equation while on right side there are one potassium and one chlorine atom present.

Balance chemical equation:

2K + Cl₂    →    2KCl

the equation is balance now because there are two potassium and two chlorine atoms on left side of equation and two potassium and two chlorine atoms are also present on right side.

A quantity of water is heated from 25.0°C to 36.4°C by absorbing 325 J of heat energy. If the specific heat of water is 4.18 J /
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

6,8 g

Explanation:

c = 4.18 J/(g * °C) = 4180 J / (kg * °C)

t_{1} = 25 °C

t_{2} = 36,4 °C

Q = 325 J

The formula is: Q = c * m * (t_{2} - t_{1})

m = \frac{Q}{c * (t_{2} - t_{1} )}

Calculating:

m = 325 / 4180 * (36,4 - 25) ≈ 0,0068 kg = 6,8 g

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
