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>

A solution of h2so4(aq) with a molal concentration of 2.24 m has a density of 1.135 g/ml. what is the molar concentration of thi
OLga [1]
This problem is simply converting the concentration from molality to molarity. Molality has units of mol solute/kg solvent, while molarity has units of mol solute/L solution.

2.24 mol H2SO4/kg H2O * (0.25806 kg H2SO4/mol H2SO4) = 0.578 kg H2SO4/kg H2O

That means the solution weighs a total of 1 kg + 0.578 kg = 1.578 kg. Then, convert it to liters using the density data:

1.578 kg * (1000g / 1kg) * (1 mL/1.135 g) = 1390 mL or 1.39 L.

Hence, the molarity is

2.24/1.39 = 1.61 M

Gaseous ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen O2 gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of ox
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer : The number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen.

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 6 moles of water vapor produces from 5 moles of oxygen

So, 1.80 moles of water vapor produces from \frac{5}{6}\times 1.80=1.5 moles of oxygen

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.
