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

1 answer:

3 0

1) We need to convert 12.0 g of H2 into moles of H2, and 74.5 grams of CO into moles of CO
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

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

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) 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

Answer is D) 85.12 grams.

If 25.3 grams of mercury(II) oxide react to form 23.4 grams of mercury, how many grams of oxygen must simultaneously be formed?

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of $2HgO$ = Total mass of $2Hg+O_2$

As we are given :

The mass of $HgO$ = 25.3 grams

The mass of $Hg$ = 23.4 grams

So,

$2\times 25.3g=2\times 23.4g+\text{Mass of }O_2$

$50.6g=46.8g+\text{Mass of }O_2$

$\text{Mass of }O_2=3.8g$

Therefore, the mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

These little bunnies (A, B, and C) were born in the same litter to the same parents, but they have different traits for the feat

marta [7]

Answer:

Due to random assortment and incomplete dominance of alleles.

Explanation:

The bunnies end up with ear thicknesses that are different from one another due to random assortment of alleles during gamete formation according to Mendel.

In addition to random assortment, the allele for thick ear also displayed what is known as incomplete dominance over the allele for thin ear to arrive at an average ear thickness.

At-57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase? View Available Hint(s) Phase diagrams for water (Figure 1)and carbon dioxi

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Gas

Increase the pressure

Explanation:

Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).

At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?

If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.

At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?

Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).
