The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
Actual yield = 46.44 g
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
1 mole of water = 18 g/mol
Therefore;
The experimental yield = 2.58 moles
equivalent to ; 2.58 × 18 = 46.44 g
The theoretical value is 47 g
Percentage yield = 46.44/47 × 100%
= 98.8%
The questions asks for actual yield = 46.44 g
Given:
175 kilograms of Methane (CH4) to be synthesized into Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
The balanced chemical equation is shown below:
2 CH4<span> + 2 NH</span>3<span> + 3 O</span>2<span> → 2 HCN + 6 H</span>2<span>O
</span>
To calculate for the masses of ammonia and oxygen needed, our basis will be 175 kg CH4.
Molar mass:
CH4 = 16 kg/kmol
NH3 = 17 kg/kmol
O2 = 32 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (2/2) * 17 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 185.94 kg NH3 needed
mass of O2 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (3/2) * 32 kg/kmol
mass of O2 = 525 kg
mass of O = 525 kg / 32 kg/kmol * (1/2) * 16 kg/kmol
mass of O = 131.25 kg O
