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>

Answer:

The Art of Protein Synthesis

In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

Given the following table, which statement is true about atoms A and B?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The statement true is A. A and B are isotopes of the same element.

Explanation:

Isotopes correspond to atoms of the same element with different mass numbers (A), that is to say they differ in the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. In the case of compound A it has 10 neutrons, and B has 11.
