Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 76.34 %

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 25.0 atm

Temperature of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 250^oC=273+250=523K

Volume of C_2H_4 = 1050 L per min

Volume of H_2 = 1550 L per min

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_4 and H_2 by using ideal gas equation.

For C_2H_4 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1050L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=611.34moles

For H_2 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1550L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=902.46moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react with 1 mole of H_2

So, 611.34 mole of C_2H_4 react with 611.34 mole of H_2

From this we conclude that, H_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and C_2H_4 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_6.

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 1 mole of C_2H_6

As, 611.34 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 611.34 mole of C_2H_6

Now we have to calculate the mass of C_2H_6.

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=\text{Moles of }C_2H_6\times \text{Molar mass of }C_2H_6

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=(611.34mole)\times (30g/mole)=18340.2g

The theoretical yield of C_2H_6 = 18340.2 g

The actual yield of C_2H_6 = 14.0 kg = 14000 g      (1 kg = 1000 g)

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of C_2H_6

\%\text{ yield of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{Actual yield of }C_2H_6}{\text{Theoretical yield of }C_2H_6}\times 100=\frac{14000g}{18340.2g}\times 100=76.34\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 76.34 %

39. Which bond is least polar?<br> A) As-C1<br> B) Bi-CI<br> C) P-CI<br> D) N-C1
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) N-Cl.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of the elements in Group 5 (N. P As and Bi) decreases as we go down the Group so N is the most electronegative and chlorine is less able to draw electrons away from N than from the other elements in Group 5.

When a 1.00 L sample of water from the surface of the Dead Sea (which is more than 400 meters below sea level and much saltier t
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}

{\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}

Molarity=1.96mol/L

Thus molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M
