Answer:

  • <em>You could expect 3.48 grams of C₂H₄N₂</em>

Explanation:

You must start by stating the chemical equation for the reaction of ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane to produce aminoaceto nitrile.

1. Word equation:

Ammonia + Carbon dioxide + Methane → Aminoacetonitrile + Water

2. Balanced chemical equation:

       8NH_3+5CO_2+3CH_4\rightarrow 4C_2H_4N_2 +10H_2O

3. Convert the mass of each reactant into number of moles:

<u>Formula:</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams/molar mass

<u>2.11g NH₃</u>

  • Number of moles = 2.11g / 17.03g/mol = 0.124 mol NH₃

<u>14.9g CO₂</u>

  • Number of moles = 14.9g/44.01g/mol = 0.339 mol CO₂

<u>1.75g CH₄</u>

  • Number of moles = 1.75g/16.04g/mol = 0.109 mol CH₄

4. Theoretical mol ratio

From the balanced chemical equation, using the coefficientes:

         8molNH_3:5molCO_2:3molCH_4:4molC_2H_4N_2:10molH_2O

5. Limiting reagent

The available amounts of the reactants are:

  • 0.124 mol NH₃
  • 0.339 mol CO₂
  • 0.109 mol CH₄

Fom the theoretical mole ration, to react with 0.124 mol of NH₃ you would need:

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (5molCO₂/8molNH₃) = 0.0775 mol CO₂

Since there are 0.339 moles available, this is in excess.

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (3molCH₄/8molNH₃) =  0.0465mol CO₂

Since there are 0.109 moles available, this is in excess too.

Hence, the limiting reagent is NH₃.

6. Yield

Use the theoretical ratio:

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (4molC₂H₄N₂ / 8molNH₃) = 0.0620 mol C₂H₄N₂

Convert to grams:

  • Mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • 0..0620 mol × 56.068g/mol = 3.48 g of C₂H₄N₂ ← answer

When you calculate apercent recovery you may find sometimes that it islarger than 100%. Assuming this is NOT due to errors assoc
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Presence of impurities in the product.

Explanation:

Laboratory experience has shown that the percent yield obtained from a reaction may be greater than 100% if the product obtained from the reaction contains impurities that causes its mass to be greater than it actually would be if the product was pure.

A typical impurity that may be present in a product is the solvent used. This can be removed by evaporation of the solvent or by washing the product thoroughly.

Reaction of solid products with gases may also increase the percentage yield above 100%.

The solubility of sodium hydrogen carbonate in water 20 degrees is 9.6 g/100 g h2o.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

We can see from the details below that, the value of the solution's molality is 1.14 mol/Kg.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The term solubility has to do with the quantity of solute that is able to dissolve in a given quantity of solvent. We have the solubility of the sodium hydrogen carbonate in water at 20 degrees as 9.6 g/100 g h2o.

Number of moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 9.6 g/84 g/mol = 0.114 moles

Number of moles water = 100 g /18 g/mol = 5.55 moles

Mole fraction of sodium hydrogen carbonate is obtainable by the use of the relation;

0.114 moles/0.114 moles + 5.55 moles

= 0.02

Molality of the solution = 0.114 moles/0.1 Kg = 1.14 mol/Kg
