The following balanced equation shows the formation of ethane (C2H6).

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

We need 27.56 moles hydrogen to produce 13.78 mol of ethane. (option 3)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Moles ethane produced = 13.78 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

C2H2 + 2H2 → C2H6

Step 3: Calculate moles of hydrogen

For 1 mol acetylene (C2H2) we need 2 moles hydrogen (H2) to produce 1 mol of ethane (C2H6)

For 13.78 moles ethane produced we need 2*13.78 = 27.56 moles hydrogen (H2)

We need 27.56 moles hydrogen to produce 13.78 mol of ethane. (option 3)

What happens in all solutions?A. Two gases are in the same space.

liraira [26]

Answer:

D. Two substances mix evenly without reacting.

Explanation:

Solutions are homogenous mixtures of solutes and solvents.

In a solution, the solute particles are distributed uniformly in the solvent.
The solute is the substance that is dissolved to make the solution.
It is usually present in smaller amount than the solvent
The solvent is the dispersing substance that allows the solute to go into solution.
The solute could be solid or liquid or gas
The solvent could be solid or liquid or gas but most times liquid.

Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

(a): The theoretical yield of silicon is 72.33 kg.

(b): The percent yield of the reaction is 91.25 %.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

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

For $SiO_2$ :

Given mass = 155.0 kg = 155000 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass = 60 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of }SiO_2=\frac{155000g}{60g/mol}=2583.3mol$

For carbon:

Given mass = 78.2 kg = 78200 g

Molar mass = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{78200g}{12g/mol}=6516.67mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of silicon dioxide and carbon follows:

$SiO_2+2C\rightarrow Si+2CO$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $SiO_2$ reacts with 2 moles of carbon

So, 2583.3 moles of $SiO_2$ will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 2583.3=5166.4mol$ of carbon

As the given amount of carbon is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, $SiO_2$ is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

For (a):

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $SiO_2$ produces 1 mole of silicon

So, 2583.3 moles of $SiO_2$ will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 2583.3=2583.3mol$ of silicon

Since the molar mass of silicon = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Mass of Si}=2583.3mol\times 28g/mol=72332.4g=72.33 kg$

Hence, the theoretical yield of silicon is 72.33 kg.

For (b):

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

$\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Measured value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100$ ......(2)

Given values:

Measured value of silicon = 66.0 kg

Theoretical value of silicon = 72.33 kg

Putting values in equation 1:

$\% \text{yield}=\frac{66.0kg}{72.33kg}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield}=91.25 \%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 91.25 %.
