Calcium oxide reacts with water in a combination reaction to produce calcium hydroxide. Ca) + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 In a particular

experiment, a 5.00 g sample of CaO is reacted with excess water and 6.11 g of Ca(OH)2 is recovered. What is the percent yield in this experiment?

Answer:

Percent yield = 92.5%

Explanation:

The question asks for the percent yield which can be defined as:

\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} .100

Where the actual yield is <em>how much product was obtained</em>, in this case 6.11 g of Ca(OH)₂, and the theoretical yield is <em>how much product could be obtained with the given reactants theoretically</em>, that is if the reaction would work perfectly. So we need to calculate first the theoretical yield.

1. First lets write the chemical equation reaction correctly and check that it is balanced:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

2. Calculate the amount of product Ca(OH)₂ that can be obtained with the given reactants (theoretical yield), which are 5.00g of CaO and excess of water. So the amount of CaO will determined how much Ca(OH)₂ we can obtained.

For this we'll use the molar ratio between CaO and Ca(OH)₂ which we see it is 1:1. For every mol of CaO we'll obtain a mol of Ca(OH)₂. So lets convert the 5.00 g of CaO to moles:

 Molar Mass of CaO: 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077 g/mol

 moles of CaO = 5.00 g / 56.077 g/mol = 0.08916 moles

As we said before from the molar ratio moles of Ca(OH)₂ = moles of CaO

So the moles of Ca(OH)₂ that can be obtained are 56.077 g/mol

We need to convert this value to grams:

 Molar Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40.078 + (15.999 + 1.008)*2 = 74.092 g/mol

Theoretical yield of Ca(OH)₂ = 0.08916 moles x 74.092 g/mol = 6.606 g

3. Calculate the percent yield:

\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} .100

Percent yield = (6.11 g / 6.606g) x 100 = 92.5 %

Answer: 89%

Explanation:

CaO+H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

\text{Number of moles of calcium oxide}=\frac{5.0g}{56g/mol}=0.09moles

\text{Number of moles of calcium hydroxide acually produced}=\frac{6.11g}{74g/mol}=0.08moles

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of CaO gives 1 mole of Ca(OH)_2

Thus 0.09 moles of CaO will give=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.09=0.09moles of Ca(OH)_2

Thus percentage yield = \frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100}=\frac{0.08}{0.09}\times 100=89\%

Therefore, the percentage yield in the experiment is 89%.

You need to make 10 mL of 2 mg/ml solution of protein and you have 25 mg/mL solution. How much protein solution and water do you
meriva

Answer:

0.8 mL of protein solution, 9.2 mL of water

Explanation:

The dilution equation can be used to relate the concentration C₁ and volume V₁ of the stock/undiluted solution to the concentration C₂ and volume V₂ of the diluted solution:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

We would like to calculate the value for V₁, the volume of the inital solution that we need to dilute to make the required solution.

V₁ = (C₂V₂) / C₁ = (2mg/mL x 10mL) / (25 mg/mL) = 0.8 mL

Thus, a volume of 0.8 mL of protein solution should be diluted with enough water to bring the total volume to 10 mL. The amount of water needed is:

(10 mL - 0.8 mL) = 9.2 mL

How many grams are in 1 mole of Pb3(PO4)4?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

In 1 mol of Pb₃(PO₄)₄ occupies 1001.48 grams

Explanation:

This compound is the lead (IV) phosphate.

Grams that occupy 1 mole, means the molar mass of the compound

Pb = 207.2  .3 = 621.6 g/m

P = 30.97 .4 = 123.88 g/m

O = (16 .  4) . 4 = 256 g/m

621.6 g/m + 123.88 g/m + 256 g/m = 1001.48 g/m

What is a atom and what do atom do in the world ​
gayaneshka [121]

In all atoms, the number of protons and the number of electrons is always the same. The number of neutrons is very roughly the same as the number of protons, but sometimes it's rather more. The number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number and it tells you what type of atom you have.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

to separate the compounds by gravity

Explanation:

Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.
