Alum is a compound used in a variety of applications including cosmetics, water purification, and as a food additive. It can be

synthesized from aluminum metal, sulfuric acid, water, and potassium hydroxide, as seen in the following equation:
2Al(g) + 2KOH(aq) + 4H2SO4(aq) + 10H2O =====> 2KAl(SO4) + 12(H2O) = 3H2

Using the data below, determine the theoretical and percent yield for this alum synthesis. Note that aluminum is the limiting reactant.

Bottle Mass - 9.8981g

Bottle with Aluminum Pieces - 10.8955g

Final Product with Bottle Mass - 19.0414g

yield = 52.23 %

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Al (s) + 2 KOH (aq) + 4 H₂SO₄ (aq) + 10 H₂O → 2 KAl(SO₄)₂·12 (H₂O) (s) + 3 H₂ (g)

mass of aluminium = mass of bottle with aluminium pieces - bottle mass

mass of aluminium = 10.8955 - 9.8981 = 0.9974 g

mass of alum = mass of bottle with final product - bottle mass

mass of alum = 19.0414 - 9.8981 = 9.1433 g

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of aluminium = 0.9974 / 27 = 0.03694 moles

number of moles of alum (practical) = 9.1433 / 474 = 0.01929 moles

To calculate the theoretical quantity of alum that should be obtained from 0.03694 moles of aluminium we devise the following reasoning:

if       2 moles of aluminium produce 2 moles of alum

then 0.03694 moles of aluminium produce X moles of alum

X = (0.03694 × 2) / 2 = 0.03694 moles of alum (theoretical)

yield = (practical quantity / theoretical quantity) × 100

yield = (0.01929 /  0.03694) × 100

yield = 52.23 %

) If you started with 2.3182 g of 3-nitrophthalic acid and had a 93% yield of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide, how many grams of 3-nitrop
MArishka [77]

Answer: 1.8124 g of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide were recovered.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction will be :

C_8H_5NO_6+N_2H_4\rightarrow C_8H_5N_3O_4+2H_2O

moles of 3-nitrophthalic acid  = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.3182g}{211.13g/mol}=0.0110mol

As 1 mole of 3-nitrophthalic acid gives = 1 mole of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide

0.0110 moles of 3-nitrophthalic acid gives = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0110=0.0110 mole of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide

mass of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0110mol\times 177.16g/mol=1.9488g

As the percentage yield is 93% , the mass of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide recovered = \frac{1.9488\times 93}{100}=1.8124g

Therefore 1.8124 g of 3-nitrophthalhydrazide were recovered.
