What is the theoretical yield of methanol (CH3OH) when 12.0 grams of H2 is mixed with 74.5 grams of CO? CO + 2H2 CH3OH

Chemistry

1) We need to convert 12.0 g of H2 into moles of H2, and <span> 74.5 grams of CO into moles of CO
</span><span>Molar mass of H2:    M(H2) = 2*1.0= 2.0 g/mol
Molar mass of CO:   M(CO) = 12.0 +16.0 = 28.0 g/mol

</span>12.0 g  H2 * 1 mol/2.0 g = 6.0 mol H2
74.5 g CO * 1 mol/28.0 g = 2.66 mol CO

<span>2) Now we can use reaction to find out what substance will react completely, and what will be leftover. 

                                  CO       +         2H2   ------->      CH3OH  
                                 1 mol              2 mol
given                        2.66 mol          6 mol (excess)

How much
we need  CO?           3 mol              6 mol

We see that H2 will be leftover, because for 6 moles H2  we need 3 moles CO, but we have only 2.66 mol  CO.
So, CO will react completely, and we are going to use CO to find  the mass of CH3OH.

3)                              </span>CO       +         2H2   ------->      CH3OH  
                                 1 mol                                        1 mol
                                2.66 mol                                    2.66 mol

4) We have 2.66 mol CH3OH
Molar mass CH3OH : M(CH3OH) = 12.0 +  4*1.0 + 16.0 = 32.0 g/mol

2.66 mol CH3OH * 32.0 g CH3OH/ 1 mol CH3OH =  85.12 g CH3OH
<span>
Answer is </span>D) 85.12 grams.

Sulfur trioxide, so3, is made industrially in enormous quantities by combining oxygen and sulfur dioxide, so2. what amount (mole
DedPeter [7]

The answer is 37.5 moles

The explanation:

1- when we have the mass of SO3 in Kg so, first we have to convert it to grams:

mass = 3 * 1000 = 3000 g

2- we need to get the molar mass of SO3 :

molar mass of SO3 = 32 + (16*3)

= 80 g/mol

3- then we can use this formula to get number of moles:

moles = mass / molar mass

= 3000 g / 80 g/mol

= 37.5 moles

Which is an example of chemical weathering?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

b. the layer of oxide formed on statues made of metal

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is a process whereby rocks are disintegrated or weathered causing a chemical reaction thereby leading to change in the parent rock constituents .

In chemical weathering a new substance is usually formed after the weathering takes place.

From the question the layer of statue made by metal will likely form oxides of those metals. Example Silver will react with oxygen to form an entirely new substance like silver(i)oxide.

If an element has a mass number of 222 and an atomic number of 86, how
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

136

Explanation:

The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exert
Damm [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.

The relationship is as follows.

          p_{total} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} p_{i}

or,        p_{total} = p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} + p_{4} + ......... + p_{n}

where,  p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3} ....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture

Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.

                 p_{i} = p_{total} \times x_{i}

where,      x_{i} = mole fraction

Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.
