The chemical reaction is given as:

<span>C8H10+3O2 = C8H6O4+2H2O

We are given the initial amount of para-xylene for the reaction. We use this amount and the relation of substances from the reaction to obtain the amount of the acid produced.

204 g ( 1 mol / 106.18 g ) ( 1 mol C8H6O4 / 1 mol C8H10 ) ( 166.14 g / mol ) = 319.20 g terephthalic acid</span>

Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present.

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

What is the molarity when 0.181 moles of MgNO3)2 are dissolved in enough water to make 0.750 L solution?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.24 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ = 0.181 mol

Volume of solution = 0.750 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

by putting values,

Molarity = 0.181 mol / 0.750 L

Molarity = 0.24 M

When you mixed 20 grams of magnesium and an excess of nitric acid, 1.7 grams of hydrogen was actually produced. What is the perc
Kitty [74]
Based on the balanced chemical reaction presented above, every mole of magnesium (Mg) yields one mole of diatomic hydrogen (H2). When converted to masses, every 24.3 grams of magnesium yields 2 grams of hydrogen. 

From the given, there are 20 grams of magnesium available for the reaction. With this amount, the expected yield of hydrogen is 1.646 grams. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield to the hypothetical yield.

*The case is impossible because the actual yield is greater than the theoretical yield.

If we assume that there had been a typographical error and that the actual yield is 0.7 grams instead of 1.7 grams, the percent yield becomes 42.5%. Thus, the answer is letter E.
