A solution of potassium cyanide, KCN, is made by dissolving 3.2 g of KCN in water. When this solution reacts with excess hydroch

loric acid, HCl, it produces 0.30 g of poisonous hydrogen cyanide gas, HCN.
KCN + HCl --> KCl + HCN

(a) Calculate the theoretical yield of HCN.

(b) Calculate the percent yield of HCN.

Answer:

The theoretical yield HCN is 1.33 grams

The percent yield HCN is 22.56 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KCN = 3.2 grams

Molar mass KCN = 65.12 g/mol

Mass of HCN produced = 0.30 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

KCN + HCl --> KCl + HCN

Step 3: Calculate moles KCN

Moles KCN = mass KCN / moalr mass KCN

Moles KCN = 3.2 grams / 65.12 g/mol

Moles KCN = 0.0491 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCN

For 1 mol KCN we need 1 mol HCl to produce 1 mol KCl and 1 mol HCN

For 0.0491 moles HCN we'll have 0.0491 moles HCN

Step 5: Calculate mass HCN

Mass HCN = moles HCN * molar mass HCN

Mass HCN = 0.0491 moles * 27.03 g/mol

Mass HCN = 1.33 grams = the theoretical yield

Step 6: Calculate the percent yield HCN

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

Percent yield = (0.30 grams / 1.33 grams)

Percent yield = 22.56 %

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

We must first put down the equation of reaction to guide our work while solving the problem.

KCN(aq) + HCl (aq)--> KCl(aq) + HCN(aq)

The questions specifically state that HCl is in excess so KCN is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of KCN reacted= mass of KCN reacted / molar mass of KCN

Mass of KCN reacted= 3.2 g

Molar mass of KCN= 65.12 g/mol

Number of moles of KCN= 3.2/65.12 g/mol= 0.049 moles

Theoretical yield of HCN is obtained thus;

From the reaction equation;

1 mol of KCN produced 1 mole of HCN thus 0.049 moles of KCN will produce 0.049 moles of HCN.

Mass of HCN = number of moles ×molar mass

Molar mass of HCN= 27.0253 g/mol

Hence mass of HCN produced= 0.049mol × 27.0253 g/mol= 1.32g of HCN

Actual yield of HCN= 0.30g

% yield= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

% yield= 0.30/1.32 ×100

%yield= 22.7%

Billy the friendly Robot uses 50 N of force to lift a box 2 meters in the air. How much work did Billy perform?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 100 J

Explanation:

We have, Billy the friendly Robot uses 50 N of force to lift a box 2 meters in the air.

It is required to find the work done by Billy.

Work done by an object is given in terms of force and displacement. The formula used to find the work done is given by :

W=Fd\\\\W=50\ N\times 2\ m\\\\W=100\ J

So, the work performed by Billy is 100 J.

When 0.620 gMngMn is combined with enough hydrochloric acid to make 100.0 mLmL of solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter, all of t
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The enthalpy change during the reaction is -199. kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Mn(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow  MnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Mass of solution = m

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL

Density of solution = d = 1.00 g/mL

m=1.00 g/mL\times 100.0 mL = 100 g

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the solution in coffee-cup calorimeter.

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

m = mass of solution = 100 g

q = heat gained = ?

c = specific heat = 4.18 J/^oC

T_{final} = final temperature = 23.1^oC

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 28.9^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=100 g \times 4.18 J/^oC\times (28.9-23.1)^oC

q=2,242.4 J=2.242 kJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 2.242 kJ

n = number of moles fructose = \frac{\text{Mass of manganese}}{\text{Molar mass of manganese}}=\frac{0.620 g}{54.94 g/mol}=0.0113 mol

\Delta H=-\frac{2.242 kJ}{0.0113 mol }=-199. kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -199. kJ/mol.
