1. The balanced equation tells us that 2 moles of H2S produce 2 moles of H2O.  

8.3 moles H2S x (2 moles H2O / 2 moles H2S) = 8.3 moles H2O = theoretical amount produced  

8.3 moles H2O x (18.0 g H2O / 1 mole H2O) = 149 g H2O produced theoretically  

% yield = (actual amount produced / theoretical amount) x 100 = (137.1 g / 149 g) x 100 = 91.8 % yield  

2. Calculate moles of each reactant.  

150.0 g N2 x (1 mole N2 / 28.0 g N2) = 5.36 moles N2  

32.1 g H2 x (1 mole H2 / 2.02 g H2) = 15.9 moles H2  

The balanced equation tells us that we need 3 moles of H2 to react with every 1 mole of N2.  

So if we have 5.36 moles N2, we need 3x that = 16.1 moles H2. Do we have that much available? No, just under at 15.9 moles. So H2 is the limiting reactant. At the end of the reaction there will be a little N2 left over.

The answer is: the percent yield of the reaction is 91.77%.

Balanced chemic reaction: 2H₂S(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + 2SO₂(g).

n(H₂S) = 8.3 mol; amount of hydrogen sulfide.

m₁(H₂O) = 137.1 g; mass of water.

From chemical reaction: n(H₂S) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = 8.3 mol; amount of water.

m(H₂O) = 8.3 mol · 18 g/mol.

m(H₂O) = 149.4 g.

the percent yield = 137.1 g ÷ 149,4 g · 100%.

the percent yield = 91.77%.

bekas [8.4K]
Based on the information provided, it appears that you will need to calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water from the peanut that was burned. We are given the following information:

specific heat capacity, c = 1.0 cal/g°C
mass of water = 76 g
Ti = 22°C
Tf = 46°C
change in temperature, ΔT = 24°C

We can use the formula q = mcΔT to measure the amount of energy absorbed by the water to increase in tempature:

q = (76 g)(1.0 cal/g°C)(24°C)

q = 1824 cal

Therefore, the water absorbed 1824 calories from the peanut that was burned.

Predict how the addition of a catalyst would affect the rate of the reaction below, and explain your prediction H2 (g) + I2 (g)
Fynjy0 [20]
A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.

Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.
