when 42.66 grams of PCl5 react with excess P4O10 the amount of product formed is 47.22 grams of POCl3. What is the percent yield

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>

Newton's second law of motion is F = ma.
ZanzabumX [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The acceleration of the object is 2m/s^2. If net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force is defined as the product of object's mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

F = ma     ......(1)

or,

a = F/m      .....(2)

where,

F = Force exerted on an object = 60N

m = mass of an object = 30kg

a = acceleration of the object = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a = 60 kg.m/s^2/30 kg = 2m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 2m/s^2.

From equation 2, it is visible that acceleration is directly proportional to force. This means that \if force increases, acceleration also increases.

And acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the object. This means that if mass increases, the acceleration decreases.

Hence, if net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

Project 1 Hypothesis Construction
alukav5142 [94]

The hypothesis should be; "Increasing the amount of ice increases the rate at which the ice will melt"

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

The term hypothesis refers to a tentative explanation that could be applied in order to explain an observation. When we give a hypothesis, it must be subjected to rigorous experimentation thus it can be confirmed or repelled by experiment.

Now, we can see that the question here is; "How does the amount of salt added to ice affect the rate at which the ice will melt?" This implies that the correct hypothesis here ought to have to do with the impact of the amount of ice in the affirmative.

Thus, the hypothesis should be; "Increasing the amount of ice increases the rate at which the ice will melt"

A ruptured tank in Anywhere, USA, spilled hydrochloric acid. Officials were reported to be concerned that the acid might mix wit
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Option C; NONE.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction forms new chemicals called the products from the initial chemicals called the reactants. The reaction between an acid and a base is called neutralization, and the products formed are water and a salt.

When hy­drochlo­ric acid and sodi­um hy­drox­ide is mixed together, they in­ter­act, and re­sult­ in salt and a release of heat.

The re­sult of the in­ter­ac­tion of these two high­ly ag­gres­sive com­pounds is ta­ble salt and wa­ter, these resulting com­pounds are ul­ti­mate­ly harm­less, and even ben­e­fi­cial, to hu­man be­ings.

Therefore, NO TOXIC GAS WOULD BE FORMED BY MIXING HYDROCHLORIC ACID WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE.

Which element has the lowest mass per nuclear particle and therefore cannot release energy by either fusion or fission?
klemol [59]
The element that has the lowest mass per nuclear particle and therefore cannot release energy by either fusion or fission is the element Fe or iron. Iron is referred to as a special element due to its nuclear binding energy. A general idea is that you can have nuclear fusion of two elements and get a heavier element only up to the element iron in the periodic table of elements and also you can only have fusion reactions starting from the element next to iron. This is due to the nuclear forces and the electromagnetic force being balanced for the element iron.
