<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 %

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mg + 2HCl = Mg Cl₂ + H₂

.594 g = .594 / 24.3

= .02444 mole

Heat evolved = msΔ T , m is mass of water ( solvant ) , s is specific heat of water , Δ T is rise in temperature

= 100 x 4.2 x ( 41.83 - 25 )

= 7068.6 J

.02444 mole  of Mg evolves 7068.6 J of heat

1 mole of Mg evolves 7068.6 /.02444 J

= 289222.6 J

= 289 kJ .

Molar heat enthalpy = 289 kJ .

What was the average speed of the truck for this trip?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

31.67 mph

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the truck, we must first obtain the total distance travelled by the truck followed by the total time taken for the truck to cover the distance travelled.

The following data were obtained from the question include:

Total distance) = 30 + 45 + 50 + 65 = 190 miles

Total time = 1 + 2 +1 +2 = 6 hours

Average speed =.?

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Average speed = 190 /6

Average speed = 31.67 mph

Therefore, the average speed of the truck is 31.67 mph
