Chemical equations are to be balanced to be able to follow the law of conservation of mass where it says that mass cannot be created or destroyed. Reactions should be that the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The percentage yield of water is 66.67%.

Explanation:

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Mass of oxygen gas = 100 g

Moles of oxygen gas = \frac{100 g}{32 g/mol}=3.125 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of oxygen gives 2 moles of water, then 3.125 moles of oxygen will give:

\frac{2}{1}\times 3.125 mol=6.25 mol

Mass of 6.25 moles of water :

6.25 mol × 18 g/mol = 112.5 g

Theoretical yield of water = 112.5 g

Experimental yield of water = 75 g

Percentage yield :

=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

=\frac{75 g}{112.5 g}\times 100=66.67\%

The percentage yield of water is 66.67%.

erastova [34]

Answer:

Alkenes, Markovnikov's, Alkenes, Alkyl halides, and less.

Explanation:

Alkenes must undergo addition because they have easily broken π bonds.

Markovnikov's rule states in the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H atom bonds to the less substituted carbon atom.

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per carbon.

Alkyl halides have good leaving groups and therefore readily undergo substitution and elimination reactions.

In hydroboration, the boron atom bonds to the less substituted carbon.

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.
Marrrta [24]

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co

Explanation:

  • The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

        Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

  • Type  of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

  • Chromium(Cr)
  • Cobaltous Chloride (CoCl_2)

Products formed in the reaction are -

  • Chromic Chloride(CrCl_3)
  • Cobalt (Co)

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

  • Cr + CoCl_2 →CrCl_3 + Co

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co
