Well if you go to Quiz-let it gives the answer the mass of a mole of compound is determined by adding the atomic masses of the atoms making up the molecules
The specific gravity of water is 1.0 True
Answer:
D) 65.7%
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
2H2(g)+O2(g)⟶2H2O(l)
<em>2 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of water assuming an excess of oxygen.</em>
<em />
To find percent yield of the reaction we need to find theoretical yield (The yield assuming all hydrogen reacts producing water). With theoretical yield and actual yield (32.8g H₂O) we can determine percent yield as 100 times the ratio between actual yield and theoretical yield.
<em>Theoretical yield:</em>
Moles of 5.58g H₂:
5.58g H₂ ₓ (1 mol / 2.016g) = 2.768 moles H₂
As 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, if all hydrogen reacts will produce 2.768 moles H₂O. In grams:
2.768 moles H₂O ₓ (18.015g / mol) =
49.86g H₂O is theoretical yield
<em>Percent yield:</em>
Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield ₓ 100
32.8g H₂O / 49.86g ₓ 100 =
65.7% is percent yield of the reaction
<h3>D) 65.7%
