For the following reaction, 4.31 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 5.17 grams of iron(II) oxi

natka813 [3]

Answer: The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For Iron:

Given mass of iron = 4.31 g

Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{4.31g}{53.85g/mol}=0.0771mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.

So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0771=0.0771mol$ of iron (ii) oxide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles

Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0771mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of iron(ii) oxide}}{71.844g/mol}=5.53g$

To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:

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

Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g

Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of iron (ii) oxide}=\frac{5.17g}{5.53g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of iron (ii) oxide}=93.49\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

4. A compact disc has a diameter of 11.8 cm. What is the surface area of the disc in square centimeters? In square meters? [Area

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The surface area is 109.3 square centimeters or 0.01093 square meters. The area formula requires that we use the radius of the disc. We can find the radius by diving the diameter by 2, so radius = 11.8/2 or 5.9 cm. We can use 3.14 as an approximation for Ď€. The surface area is 3.14 * (5.9*5.9). Since the diameter is given in cm, the surface area units are in square centimeters. To convert to meters, divide any measurement in centimeters by 100, but we need to convert to "square" meters, so we need to divide our square centimeters by 100 * 100, or by 10,000. Dividing 109.3 by 10,000 results in 0.01093 square "meters".

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2. WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The reaction will shift to the left to produce more reactants.

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of Product.

When the concentration of product is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of O₂ increased the reaction proceed in backward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more reactant is formed.

Question 10

bixtya [17]

The reaction that should be followed is
Na2SO4 + Ca(NO3)2 --> CaSO4 + 2NaNO3
first calculate the limiting reactant
mol Na2SO4 = 0.075 L (1.54×10−2 mol / L) = 1.155x10-3 mol

mol Ca(NO3)2 = 0.075 L (1.22×10−2 mol / L) = 9.15x10-4 mol
so the limiting reactant is the Ca(NO3)2

so all of the Ca2+ will be precipitated, percentage unprecipitated = 0.00 %
