During an experiment, 95 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. If the percent yield of
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Actual yield: 86.5 grams.

Explanation:

How many moles of formula units in 95 grams of calcium carbonate \rm CaCO_3?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

  • Ca: 40.078;
  • C: 12.011;
  • O: 15.999.

Formula mass of \rm CaCO_3:

M(\mathrm{CaCO_3})  = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{1\times 12.011}_{\rm C} + \underbrace{3\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}.

\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CaCO_3})}{M(\mathrm{CaCO_3})} = \rm \frac{95\;g}{100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.949184\;mol.

How many moles of \rm CaCl_2 will be produced?

The coefficient in front of \rm CaCO_3 in the chemical equation is the same as that in front of \rm CaCl_2. That is:

\displaystyle \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = 1.

\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3})\cdot \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \rm 0.949184\;mol.

What's the theoretical yield of calcium chloride? In other words, what's the mass of \rm 0.949184\;mol of \rm CaCl_2?

Again, refer to a periodic table for relative atomic data:

  • Ca: 40.078;
  • Cl: 35.45.

M(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{2\times 35.45}_{\rm Cl} = \rm 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}.

\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) &= n(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\\ &= \rm 0.949184\;mol\times 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}\\ &= \rm 105.339\; g\end{aligned}.

What's the actual yield of calcium chloride?

\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times 100\%.

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Actual Yield} &= \text{Theoretical Yield}\cdot \frac{\text{Percentage Yield}}{100\%}\\ &=\rm 105.339\; g \times \frac{82.15\%}{100\%}\\&= \rm 86.5\;g \end{aligned}.

Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant

How to convert 12g of H2O to moles
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

moles = given mass/atomic mass

so H2O mass = 2 +16=18

so 12g of h2o= 12/16 = 3/4 moles
