Percent yield or yield is mathematically defined as:

Yield = Actual amount / Theoretical amount

So to solve the yield, let us first calculate the theoretical amount of POCl3 produced. The balanced chemical reaction for this is:

6 PCl5 + P4O10  --->  10 POCl3

Since P4O10 is stated to be supplied in large amount, then PCl5 becomes the limiting reactant.

So we calculate for POCl3 based on PCl5. To do this let us convert the amount into moles: (molar mass PCl5 = 208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 42.66 grams / (208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 0.205 mol

 

Now based on the stoichiometric ratio of the reaction:

<span>n POCl3 = 0.205 mol (10 POCl3 / 6 PCl5)
n POCl3 = 0.3414 mol POCl3</span>

Converting to mass (molar mass POCl3 = 153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 0.3414 mol (153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 52.35 g

 

Calculating for yield:

Yield = 47.22 g/ 52.35 g

Yield = 0.902

<span>%Yield = 90.2 %                      (ANSWER)</span>

What was the oxygen crisis
salantis [7]
The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.

What volume of water has the same mass as 9.0m3 of ethyl alcohol?
Triss [41]
This question requires the knowledge of density. 

The density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg m⁻³
The density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³

Density = Mass / Volume 

By applying ethyl alcohol,
    789 kg m⁻³ = Mass / 0.9 m³
         Mass     = 710.1 kg
hence the mass of 0.9 m³ ethyl alcohol is 710.1 kg.

Then by applying water,
     1000 kg m⁻³ = 710.1 kg / Volume
      Volume        = 0.7101 m³
                          = 0.7 m³
hence the equal water volume is 0.7 m³
