Methanol (ch3oh), also called methyl alcohol, is the simplest alcohol. it is used as a fuel in race cars and is a potential repl

acement for gasoline. methanol can be manufactured by combination of gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen. suppose 68.5 kg co(g) is reacted with 8.60 kg h2(g). calculate the theoretical yield of methanol. if 3.57 × 104 g ch3oh is actually produced, what is the percent yield of methanol?

Answer:

             %age Yield  =  51.45 %

Solution:

Step 1: Convert Kg into g

68.5 Kg CO  =  68500 g CO

8.60 Kg H₂  =  8600 g

Step 2: Find out Limiting reactant;

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow;

                                 CO  +  2 H₂    →    CH₃OH

According to Equation,

                   28 g (1 mol) CO reacts with  =  4 g (2 mol) of H₂

So,

                    68500 g CO will react with  =  X g of H₂

Solving for X,

                    X  =  (68500 g × 4 g) ÷ 28 g

                    X  =  9785 g of H₂

It shows 9785 g H₂ is required to react with 68500 g of CO but we are provided with 8600 g of H₂ which is less than required. Therefore, H₂ is provided in less amount hence, it is a Limiting reagent and will control the yield of products.

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Yield

According to equation,

            4 g (2 mol) H₂ reacts to produce  =  32 g (1 mol) Methanol

So,

                          8600 g H₂ will produce  =  X g of CH₃OH

Solving for X,

                    X  =  (8600 g × 32 g) ÷ 4 g

                     X =  68800 g of CH₃OH

Step 4: Calculate %age Yield

                     %age Yield  =  Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield × 100

Putting Values,

                     %age Yield  =  3.54 × 10⁴ g ÷ 68800 g × 100

                     %age Yield  =  51.45 %

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in Ca + Cl2 mc009-1.jpg CaCl2?
gregori [183]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) Synthesis

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

It is represented as,

X+Y\rightarrow XY

Combustion reaction : A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

It is represented as,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

The given reaction is, Ca+Cl_2\rightarrow CaCl_2

In this reaction, calcium combine with the chloride to form calcium chloride as a product.

Hence, the given type of reaction is a synthesis reaction.
