A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Na = 5.0 g

Mass of Cl_2 = 10.0 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of Na and Cl_2.

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol

and,

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react with 1 mole of Cl_2

So, 0.217 moles of Na react with \frac{0.217}{2}=0.108 moles of Cl_2

From this we conclude that, Cl_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Na is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaCl

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react to give 2 mole of NaCl

So, 0.217 mole of HCl react to give 0.217 mole of NaCl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaCl

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = \frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

How do you make molecular equations a balanced iconic.
asambeis [7]
<span>First, write the net ionic equation for the unbalanced reaction. If you are given a word equation to balance, you'll need to be able to identify strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and insoluble compounds. Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into their ions in water. Examples of strong electrolytes are strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Weak electrolytes yield very few ions in solution, so they are represented by their molecular formula (not written as ions). Water, weak acids, and weak bases are examples of weak electrolytes. The pH of a solution can cause them to dissociate, but in those situations, you'll be presented an ionic equation, not a word problem. Insoluble compounds do not dissociate into ions, so they are represented by the molecular formula. A table is provided to help you determine whether or not a chemical is soluble, but it's a good idea to memorize the solubility rules.

</span><span><span>arate the net ionic equation into the two half-reactions. This means identifying and separating the reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction. </span><span>For one of the half-reactions, balance the atoms except for O and H. You want the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. </span><span>Repeat this with the other half-reaction. </span><span>Add H2O to balance the O atoms. Add H+ to balance the H atoms. The atoms (mass) should balance out now. </span><span>Now balance charge. Add e- (electrons) to one side of each half-reaction to balance charge. You may need to multiply the electrons the the two half-reactions to get the charge to balance out. It's fine to change coefficients as long as you change them on both sides of the equation. </span><span>Now, add the two half-reactions together. Inspect the final equation to make sure it is balanced. Electrons on both sides of the ionic equation must cancel out. </span><span>Double-check your work! Make sure there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation. Make sure the overall charge is the same on both sides of the ionic equation. </span><span>If the reaction takes place in a basic solution, add an equal number of OH- as you have H+ ions. Do this for both sides of the equation and combine H+ and OH- ions to form H2O. </span><span>Be sure to indicate the state of each species. Indicate solid with (s), liquid for (l), gas with (g), and aqueous solution with (aq). </span><span>Remember, a balanced net ionic equation only describes chemical species that participate in the reaction. Drop additional substances from the equation.ExampleThe net ionic equation for the reaction you get mixing 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH is:H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)Even though sodium and chlorine exist in the reaction, the Cl- and Na+ ions are not written in the net ionic equation because they don't participate in the reaction.</span></span>

What is the rate law?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: B

Explanation:

The rate law is the mathematical equation that describes how reactant concentration changes as a function of time. A law such as "Rate = k*[A]*[B]" means that, for each liter-equivalent of the reactant(s) A, there are k liters of reactant B. The law also dictates the molarity (and thus partial pressure) for each component in solution.
