Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri

c acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water: 2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(g) In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water: CH3CH2OH(l) → CH2═CH2(g) + H2O(g) a) If 50.0 g of ethanol yields 35.9 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

If you mix a 25.0mL sample of a 1.20m potassium sulfide solution with 15.0 mL of a 0.900m basium nitrate solution and the reacti
ddd [48]

Answer:

Limiting reagent: barium nitrate

Theoretical yield: 2.29 g BaS

Percent yield: 87%

Explanation:

The corrected balanced reaction equation is:

K₂S + Ba(NO₃)₂ ⇒ 2KNO₃ + BaS

The amount of potassium sulfide added is:

(25.0 mL)(1.20mol/L) = 30 mmol

The amount of barium nitrate added is:

(15.0mL)(0.900mol/L = 13.5 mmol

Since the reactant react in a 1:1 molar ratio, barium nitrate is the limiting reagent. If all of the limiting reagent reacts, the amount of barium sulfide produced is:

(13.5 mmol Ba(NO₃)₂)(BaS/Ba(NO₃)₂ ) = 13.5 mmol BaS

Converting this amount to grams gives the theoretical yield of BaS (molar mass 169.39 g/mol).

(13.5 mmol)(169.39 g/mol)(1g/1000mg) = 2.29 g BaS

The percent yield is calculated as follows:

(actual yield) / (theoretical yield) x 100%

(2.0 g) / (2.29 g) x 100% = 87%

Which of these is the best definition of a fuel cell?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A voltaic cell that uses the oxidation of a fuel to produce electricity  

Explanation:

A fuel cell is a voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent into electricity.

A. is wrong. This definition is so broad that it could include a candle in a cup.

C is wrong. The batteries in flashlights and cell phones are not fuel cells.
