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>

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The air pressure is 9.8 *10^4 pa

The water will rise to a height of 10.0 meter

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

As a storm from moves in, you notice that a column of mercury in a barometer rises to 736 mm.

Step 2: Calculate the air pressure

The Pressure against the mercury column = h*d*g = 0.736 * 13593 * 9.81 = 9.8 * 10^4 Pa

Step 3: Calculate the height of the water

Let the Pressure  the water column for same pressure is h meter : -

9.8 * 10^4 = h*d*g  

=>9.8*10^4 = h*1000*9.81  

=>h = 10.0 meter

The water will rise to a height of 10.0 meter
