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:

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

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl ( aq ) , as describe

Nataly [62]

Answer:

0.9483 grams of manganese dioxide should be added to excess HCl.

Explanation:

Pressure of the chlorine gas = P = 795 Torr = 1.046 atm (1 atm = 760 Torr)

Volume of the chlorine gas = V = 255 ml = 0.255 L

Temperature of the chlorine gas = T = 25°C= 298.15 K

Moles of chlorine gas = n

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.046 atm\times 0.255 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol k\times 298.15 K}$

n = 0.01090 mol

$MnO_2 ( s ) + 4 HCl ( aq)\rioghtarrow MnCl_2 ( aq ) + 2 H_2O ( l ) + Cl_2 ( g )$

According to reaction , 1 mole of chlorine gas is obtained from 1 mole of manganese dioxide.

Then 0.01090 moles of chlorine gas will be obtained from:

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.01090 mol=0.01090 mol$ manganese dioxide

Mass of 0.01090 moles of manganese dioxide:

0.01090 mol × 87 g/mol = 0.9483 g

if 12 molecules of methane reacted with plenty of oxygen, we should expect to produce____ molecules of car on dioxide and _____

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

12 molecules of carbon dioxide

24 molecules of water

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of methane = 12 molecules

Unknown:

Number of molecules of carbon dioxide = ?

Number of molecules of water = ?

Solution:

The given amount of methane is the limiting reagent in this reaction. By this, we can ascertain the amount of products that will be formed and the extent of the reaction.

We first write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

From balanced equation;

1 mole of methane produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide

12 molecules of methane will produce 12 molecules of carbon dioxide

Also;

1 mole of methane produced 2 moles of water;

12 molecules of methane will produce (12 x 2)molecules = 24 molecules of water
