Given the following reaction: 2K3PO4 + AL2(CO3)3 = 3K2CO3 + 2ALPO4 If I perform this reaction with 150 g of potassium phosphate

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer : The theoretical yield of potassium carbonate is, 146.483 g

The percent yield of potassium carbonate is, 85.33 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of $K_3PO_4$ = 150 g

Mass of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ = 90 g

Molar mass of $K_3PO_4$ = 212.27 g/mole

Molar mass of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ = 233.99 g/mole

Molar mass of $K_2CO_3$ = 138.205 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $K_3PO_4$ and $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

$\text{ Moles of }K_3PO_4=\frac{\text{ Mass of }K_3PO_4}{\text{ Molar mass of }K_3PO_4}=\frac{150g}{212.27g/mole}=0.7066moles$

$\text{ Moles of }Al_2(CO_3)_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Al_2(CO_3)_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }Al_2(CO_3)_3}=\frac{90g}{233.99g/mole}=0.3846moles$

The given balanced reaction is,

$2K_3PO_4+Al_2(CO_3)_3\rightarrow 3K_2CO_3+2AlPO_4$

From the given reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react with 1 mole of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

0.7066 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react with $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.7066=0.3533$ moles of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

But the moles of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ is, 0.3846 moles.

So, $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ is an excess reagent and $K_3PO_4$ is a limiting reagent.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $K_2CO_3$ .

As, 2 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react to give 3 moles of $K_2CO_3$

So, 0.7066 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react to give $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.7066=1.0599$ moles of $K_2CO_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $K_2CO_3$ .

$\text{ Mass of }K_2CO_3=\text{ Moles of }K_2CO_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }K_2CO_3$

$\text{ Mass of }K_2CO_3=(1.0599moles)\times (138.205g/mole)=146.483g$

The theoretical yield of potassium carbonate = 146.483 g

The experimental yield of potassium carbonate = 125 g

Now we have to calculate the % yield of potassium carbonate.

Formula for percent yield :

$\% yield=\frac{\text{ Theoretical yield}}{\text{ Experimental yield}}\times 100$

$\% \text{ yield of }K_2CO_3=\frac{125g}{146.483g}\times 100=85.33\%$

Therefore, the % yield of potassium carbonate is, 85.33%

Cells take in small, energy-rich molecules from food. These molecules include sugar molecules. Cells use the molecules in a long

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1,2, and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

1 is true because cellular respiration begins in the cytoplasm of a cell. 2 is true because cellular respiration releases energy aerobically which uses glucose and oxygen or anaerobically which just uses glucose. Either way, energy is being released. 3 is true, I don't know how to explain why. Just keep the cellular respiration equation in mind, (C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Chemical Energy (in ATP)), the chemical reactions are basically summed up into an equation. Hope that helped.
