Answer:

58.8%

Explanation:

n= Experimental/Theoretical ·100

n= 5.50/(your answer to part A) 9.36·100 = 58.8%

Answer:

9.359 g of ethyl butyrate

% yield = 58.766 %

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C4H8O2 + C2H5OH -> C6H12O2 + H2O

Molecular weight of butanoic acid: 88 g/mole

Molecular weight of ethyl butyrate: 116 g/mole

Assuming 100% yield, all 7.10 g of butanoic acid reacts. In moles are:

(7.10 g) / (88 g/mole) = 0.0806 moles of butanoic acid

From the balanced equation we know that 1 mole of butanoic acid produce 1 mole of ethyl butyrate, then 0.0806 moles of ethyl butyrate are produced. In grams are:

0.0806 moles * 116 g/mole = 9.359 g of ethyl butyrate (this represents the theoretical yield)

If 5.50 g of ethyl butyrate are produced, then the percent yield is:

% yield = (actual yield /theoretical yield) * 100

% yield = (5.50 g/9.359 g) * 100

% yield = 58.766 %

What Type of Reaction is the following: lithium carbonate → lithium oxide + carbon dioxide

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: 2. Decomposition

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two reactants combine to give a single product.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

lithium carbonate → lithium oxide + carbon dioxide

$LiCO_3\rightarrow LiO+CO_2$

Single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

A double replacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

What are the respective concentrations (moles/liter) of k+ and po43- afforded by dissolving 0.800 mol k3po4 in water and dilutin

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Concentration of K+ = 1.47 M
Concentration of Po4∧-2 = 0.4908 M

Given Data:

No. of moles of K3PO4 = 0.800 mole

Molarity of K3PO4 = 0.800÷1.63 = 0.4908

Chemical equations:

K3PO4 ⇔3 K+ + PO4∧-2

Solution:

K3PO4 : K+ K3PO4 : PO4∧-2

1 : 3 1 : 1

0.4908 = 0.4908 × 3 = 1.47 M 0.4908 = 0.4908 × 1 = 0.4908 M

Explain in your own words the interplay of temperature (heat) and intermolecular forces and the effect of these two variables on

DochEvi [55]

The forces between particles are called intermolecular forces. A strong intermolecular force means that the particles are tightly paced and is associated with the solid phase. Moderate intermolecular force is associated with the liquid state and little to no intermolecular force is associated with the gaseous state. Temperature has a direct effect on the state of matter in which the substance exists has. Generally speaking, a rise in tempreature changes a substance from the solid to liquid phase and from liquid to gaseus phase. The reverse is true, if the temperature lowers then the substance will go from gas to liquid and liquid to solid. It is important to not that temperature affects intermolecular forces. As the temperature increases then the individual particles become excited and gain enough energy to over the intermolecular forces and so the particles seperate from each other.
