Given:
Diprotic weak acid H2A:
Ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6
Ka2 = 6.1 x 10^-9.
Concentration = 0.0650 m
Balanced chemical equation:
H2A ===> 2H+ + A2-
0.0650 0 0
-x 2x x
------------------------------
0.065 - x 2x x
ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6 = [2x]^2 * [x] / (0.065 - x)
solve for x and determine the concentration at equilibrium.
Answer:
A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant
B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g
C) % yield =91.5%
Explanation:
SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)
n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols
n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols
a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant
According to the balanced reaction equation,
60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2
155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g
Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g
% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%
Scientific laws and theories have different jobs to do. A scientific law predicts the results of certain initial conditions. ... In contrast, a theory tries to provide the most logical explanation about why things happen as they do.
