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 %

Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction: Suppose 1.20 mol of and 3.60 mol of were placed in a 1.00-L flas
hjlf

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction:

CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)

Suppose 1.20 mol CS_2(g) of and 3.60 mol of Cl_2(g)  were placed in a 1.00-L flask at an unknown temperature. After equilibrium has been achieved, the mixture contains 0.72 mol  of CCl_4. Calculate equilibrium constant at the unknown temperature.

Answer: The equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

Explanation:

Moles of  CS_2 = 1.20 mole

Moles of  Cl_2 = 3.60 mole

Volume of solution = 1.00  L

Initial concentration of CS_2 = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{1.20mol}{1L}=1.20M

Initial concentration of Cl_2 = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{3.60mol}{1L}=3.60M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                 CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)

Initial conc.         1.20 M        3.60 M                  0                  0

At eqm. conc.     (1.20-x) M   (3.60-3x) M   (x) M        (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[S_2Cl_2]\times [CCl_4]}{[Cl_2]^3[CS_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(3.60-3x)^3\times (1.20-x)}

Given :Equilibrium concentration of CCl_4 , x = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.72mol}{1L}=0.72M

K_c=\frac{(0.72)\times (0.72)}{(3.60-3\times 0.72)^3\times (1.20-0.72)}

K_c=0.36

Thus equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

Consider the following voltaic cell:(j) In which direction do anions within the salt bridge move to maintain charge neutrality?
aniked [119]

In order to maintain neutrality, the negatively charged ions in the salt bridge will migrate into the anodic half-cell. A similar (but reversed) situation is found in the cathodic cell.

<h3>What purpose does a salt bridge serve in an oxidation process?</h3>

Anions (negatively charged particles) are added to the solution of the oxidation half of the cell by the salt bridge, and cations (positively charged particles) are added to the solution of the reduction half of the reaction. 

<h3>What purpose does the salt bridge serve in a galvanic cell?</h3>

For instance, KCl, AgNO3, etc. In a galvanic cell, such as a voltaic cell or Daniel cell, salt bridges are typically used. A salt bridge's primary job is to assist in preserving the electrical neutrality of the internal circuit. Additionally, it aids in keeping the cell's response from reaching equilibrium.

Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2 , how much of the energy in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.

Why does liquid exerts pressure​
andriy [413]

Answer:

The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.
