B) 40%  
The balanced equation indicates that for every 3 moles of H2 used, 2 moles of NH3 will be produced. So the reaction if it had 100% yield would produce (2.00 / 3) * 2 = 1.333333333 moles of NH3. But only 0.54 moles were produced. So the percent yield is 0.54 / 1.3333 = 0.405 = 40.5%. This is a close enough match to option "b" to be considered correct.

Answer: The correct option is b.

Explanation: To calculate the percentage yield, we use the formula:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100   ....(1)

For a given reaction:

3H_2+N_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

  • Experimental yield calculations:

0.54 moles of ammonia is formed.

So, amount of ammonia formed will be calculated using the formula:

Moles=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      ....(2)

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17.031g/mol

0.54=\frac{\text{given mass}}{17.031}

Amount of NH_3 = 9.197g

Experimental yield : 9.197 g

  • Theoretical yield calculations:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

Here, limiting reagent is hydrogen gas because it limits the formation of product.

3 moles of hydrogen gas is producing 2 moles of ammonia

So, 2 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = \frac{2}{3}\times 2=1.33 moles of ammonia.

Amount of ammonia is calculated by using equation 2, we get:

1.33moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{17.031g/mol}

Theoretical yield of ammonia  =22.65 grams

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{9.197}{22.65}\times 100

% yield=40.60 %

Hence, the correct option is b.

A stream of negatively charged particles is called:
AlladinOne [14]
Cathode rays are a stream of negatively charged particles or electrons in vacuum tubes. They were first seen by Johann Hittorf in 1869. They are named since they are emitted by electrode or cathode. In order to release the electrons, the electrons should first be detached from the atoms of the cathode.
