<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

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

  • <u>For benzoic acid:</u>

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108 moles of methyl benzoate

  • Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

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

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Pentaborane-9, B5H9, is a colorless, highly reactive liquid that will burst into flame when exposed to oxygen. The reaction is 2
mina [271]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy released per gram of B_5H_9 is -71.92 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

2B_5H_9(l)+12O_2(g)\rightarrow 5B_2O_3(s)+9H_2O(l)

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_2O_3(s))})+(9\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_5H_9(l))})+(12\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]

Taking the standard enthalpy of formation:

\Delta H^o_f_{(B_2O_3(s))}=-1271.94kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.83kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(B_5H_9(l))}=73.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times (1271.94))+(9\times (-285.83))]-[(2\times (73.2))+(12\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-9078.57kJ

We know that:

Molar mass of pentaborane -9 = 63.12 g/mol

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of B_5H_9 produces -9078.57 kJ of energy.

Or,

If (2\times 63.12)g of B_5H_9 produces -9078.57 kJ of energy

Then, 1 gram of B_5H_9 will produce = \frac{-9078.57kJ}{(2\times 63.12)}\times 1g=-71.92kJ of energy.

Hence, the amount of energy released per gram of B_5H_9 is -71.92 kJ

Determine how many liters of hydrogen adjusted to STP there are in a 50.0 liter steel cylinder if the pressure inside is 100.0 a
Dvinal [7]

Answer : The volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 100.0 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas at STP = 1 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 50.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 27.0^oC=273+27.0=300K

T_2 = final temperature of gas at STP = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{100.0atm\times 50.0L}{300K}=\frac{1atm\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=4550L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.

Why are plastic building blocks good for building molecules
9966 [12]
Plastic building blocks are good for building molecules because of some useful properties which they possess. For instance, plastic are flexible, they can be easily manipulated and can be made into any shape, size and combination. They can also be produced using different colors. Because of these features, they can be used to build and to explain how molecules behave.

Elements have similar characteristics?<br> Periodic TaBle<br> oF The Elements
Ann [662]

Answer:

See attachment.

Explanation:

Elements that are in the same group will definitely possess similar characteristics because they tend to have the same valence electron which determines their reactivity.

On a periodic table, elements in the same group can be found arranged on the same column in the periodic table.

Therefore the two elements that have similar characteristics are those two elements you can see on the same column in group 2. See the two elements indicated in the attachment below.
