Explanation:
Now, the equation of the reaction is;
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) --------> Cu(NO3)3 (aq) + 2Ag(s)
Number of moles of silver precipitate = 0.24/108 g/mol= 0.0022 moles
Number of moles of AgNO3 = 50/1000 * 0.050 = 0.0025 Moles
If 2 moles of AgNO3 yields 2 moles of Ag
Then 0.0025 moles of AgNO3 yields 0.0025 * 2/2 = 0.0025 moles of Ag
Number of moles of Cu = 2.00g/63.5 g/mol = 0.03 moles
If 1 mole of Cu yields 2 moles of Ag
0.03 moles of Cu yields 0.03 moles * 2/1 = 0.06 moles of Ag
Hence AgNO3 is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of Ag = 0.0025 moles of Ag * 108 = 0.27 g
Actual yield of Ag = 0.24 g
Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100
Percent yield = 0.24/0.27 * 100
Percent yield = 88.8%
Answer:
When a candle burns, the hydrogen and carbon from the wax combine with the oxygen in the air to become carbon dioxide and water vapor. Most of the matter in the candle ends up as these two gases.
