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 %

An elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction in which an elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction
tresset_1 [31]
So I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking but I’m going to give it a go. The elimination reaction is a term used in organic chemistry that describes a type of reactions. The name kinda tells you what’s going to happen. Something is going to be removed/eliminated from initial reactant/substrate and as a result, an alkene (double bond containing compound) will form.

In elimination reactions a hydrogen atom is first removed (as a H+) from the beta carbon. As a result, the left behind electrons create a pi bond between the beta carbon and the neighboring alpha carbon. This promotes the electronegative atom, on the alpha carbon, to leaves the substrate taking both electrons from the shared sigma bond with the alpha carbon.

The viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liqu
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

The property of a substance to resist the flow of motion is known as viscosity. And, more is the density of a substance more will be its viscosity.  

Whereas, lesser is the density of a substance then it is easy for the substance to move.

This means that more is the viscosity of a substance least will be its flow and when a substance has lesser viscosity then it will readily flow from one point to another.

Thus, we can conclude that the viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liquid with the highest viscosity will reach the bottom last.
