Reactants on the left and products on the right
It’s c had this problem last week
the actual yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ formed after carrying out the experiment
theoretical yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ that is expected to be formed from the calculations
we need to first find the theoretical yield
2Na₂O₂ + 2CO₂ ---> 2Na₂CO₃ + O₂
molar ratio of Na₂O₂ to Na₂CO₃ is 2:2
number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is equal to the number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed
number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is - 7.80 g / 78 g/mol = 0.10 mol
therefore number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed is - 0.10 mol
mass of Na₂CO₃ expected to be formed is - 0.10 mol x 106 g/mol = 10.6 g
therefore theoretical yield is 10.6 g
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
81.0 % = actual yield / 10.6 g x 100 %
actual yield = 10.6 x 0.81
actual yield = 8.59 g
therefore actual yield is 8.59 g
It is an ideal gas therefore we can use the ideal gas equation to solve the problem. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT. First, we solve the amount of the gas in moles using the said equation and the first conditions.
(2.0 atm) (5.0 x 10^3 cm^3) = n (82.0575 atm.cm^3/mol.K)(215 K)
n=0.5668 mol
Using the second conditions given, we obtain the new pressure.
P (4.0 x 10^3) = 0.5668 x <span>82.0575 x 265
P= 3.08 atm</span>
