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 %

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

540.54 mmHg

Explanation:

We know that the partial pressure of a substance is defined as; Mole fraction * total pressure.

If the total amount of gases in the atmosphere is 100%, the mole fraction of nitrogen gas is now

78/100 = 0.78

Thus, partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 0.78 * 693 = 540.54 mmHg

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

21.86582KJ

Explanation:

The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.

Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.
