DochEvi [55]

Answer:

34.3 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 CH₃CH₂OH ⇒ CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 50.0 g of CH₃CH₂OH

The molar mass of CH₃CH₂OH is 46.07 g/mol.

50.0 g × 1 mol/46.07 g = 1.09 mol

Step 3: Calculate the theoretical moles of CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ produced

The molar ratio of CH₃CH₂OH to CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ is 2:1. The moles of CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ theoretically produced are 1/2 × 1.09 mol = 0.545 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the real moles of CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ produced

The percent yield of the reaction is 85%.

0.545 mol × 85% = 0.463 mol

Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.463 moles of CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

The molar mass of CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ is 74.12 g/mol.

0.463 mol × 74.12 g/mol = 34.3 g

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --&gt; NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)
Natali [406]

Answer:

<u />

  • <u>a) 1.44g</u>

<u />

  • <u>b) 77.3%</u>

<u />

Explanation:

<u>1. Chemical balanced equation (given)</u>

       NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)

<u>2. Mole ratio</u>

1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

<u />

<u>3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base</u>

    Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}

    \text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters

     \text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol

<u>4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted</u>

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

  • mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol
  • mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

<u>5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample</u>

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

  • % = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

  • % = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%
