Answer:

54 g is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen, to produce 2 mol of water.

If I have 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂, the my limiting reactant is the hydrogen.

1 mol of O₂ react with 2 moles of H₂

S 2 mol of O₂ would react with 4 moles (I only have 3 moles)

Then, ratio is 2:2 the same as 1:1

As 2 mol of H₂ produce 2 moles of water, 3 moles of H₂ will produce 3 moles of H₂O.

This is the theoretical yield in moles. Let's convert them to mass (mol . molar mass)

3 mol . 18g/m = 54 g

Answer:

The theoretical yield of the reaction is 54.06 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Moles of hydrogen gas = 3.0 moles

Moles of oxygen gas = 2.0 mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles H2 consumed, we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles of H2O

Hydrogen gas is the limiting reactant. It will be completely consumed. (3.0 moles).

Oxygen gas is in excess. There will react 3.0/2 = 1.5 moles of O2.

There will remain 2.0 -1.5 = 0.5 moles

Step 4: Calculate the moles of H2O

For 2 moles of H2 we'll have 2 moles of H2O

For 3 moles H2 we'll have 3.0 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate theoretical yield of H2O

Mass H2O = moles H2O * molar mass H2O

Mass H2O = 3.0 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass H2O = 54.06 grams

The theoretical yield of the reaction is 54.06 grams

Using the following combustion reaction, describe how it follows the laws of conservation of mass and energy. CH 4 +2O 2 CO 2 +2
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that "mass in a system remains constant and that the mass of the product is remains the same as that of the reactants".

Law of conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed in the course of chemical or physical change but can be transformed from one form to another".

 Let us properly write the equation:

               CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

For the conservation of mass:

  C has 1mole on both sides

   H has 4mole on both sides

   O has 4 mole on both sides

For energy, during combustion process, the methane CH₄ burns to liberate heat energy. This is an energy conversion process in which chemical energy in methane releases heat energy.

What type of matter can be physically separated
Aneli [31]

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule

what is the concentration of a dextrose solution prepared by diluting 14 ml of a 1.0 m dextrose solution to 25 ml using a 25 ml
allsm [11]

The concentration of a dextrose solution prepared by diluting 14 ml of a 1.0 M dextrose solution to 25 ml using a 25 ml volumetric flask is 0.56M.

Concentration is defined as the number of moles of a solute present in the specific volume of a solution.

According to the dilution law, the degree of ionization increases on a dilution and it is inversely proportional to the square root of concentration. The degree of dissociation of an acid is directly proportional to the square root of a volume.

M₁V₁=M₂V₂

Where, M₁=1.0M, V₁=14ml, M₂=?, V₂=25ml

Rearrange the formula for M₂

M₂=(M₁V₁/V₂)

Plug all the values in the formula

M₂=(1.0M×14 ml/25 ml)

M₂=14 M/25

M₂=0.56 M

Therefore, the concentration of a dextrose solution after the dilution is 0.56M.
