Answer:

HCl is the limiting reactant.

20.2 grams = theoretical yield Cl2

actual yield = 16.75 grams Cl2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MnO2 = 43.5 grams

Molar mass MnO2 = 86.94 g/mol

Mass of HCl = 41.5 grams

Molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4HCl(aq)+MnO2(s)⟶MnCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)+Cl2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles MnO2 = 43.5 grams / 86.94 g/mol

Moles MnO2 =  0.500 moles

Moles HCl = 41.5 grams / 36.46 g/mol

Moles HCl = 1.14 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles HCl we need 1 mol MnO2 to produce 1 mol MnCl2, 2 moles H2O and 1 mol Cl2

HCl is the limiting reactant. I will completely be consumed (1.14 moles).

MnO2 is in excess. There will react 1.14 /4 = 0.285 moles

There will remain 0.500 - 0.285 = 0.215 moles MnO2

Step 5: Calculate moles Cl2

For 4 moles HCl we need 1 mol MnO2 to produce 1 mol MnCl2, 2 moles H2O and 1 mol Cl2

For 1.14 moles HCl we'll have 1.14/4 = 0.285 moles Cl2

Step 6: Calculate mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = moles Cl2 * molar mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = 0.285 moles * 70.9 g/mol

Mass Cl2 = 20.2 grams = theoretical yield

Step 7: Calculate actual yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) *100%

0.829 = actual yield / 20.2 grams

actual yield = 0.829 * 20.2 grams

actual yield = 16.75 grams Cl2

What volume of 0.08892 M HNO3 is required to react completetly with 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.0303 Liters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the potassium hydrogen phosphate = 0.2352

Molarity of the HNO₃ Solution = 0.08892 M

Now,

From the reaction it can be observed that 1 mol of potassium hydrogen phosphate reacts with 2 mol of HNO₃

The number of moles of 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= Mass / Molar mass

also,

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= 2 × (39.09) + 1 + 30.97 + 4 × 16 = 174.15 g / mol

Number of moles = 0.2352 / 174.15 = 0.00135 moles

thus,

The number of moles of HNO₃ required for  0.00135 moles

= 2 ×  0.00135 mol of HNO₃

= 0.0027 mol of HNO₃

Now,

Molarity = Number of Moles / Volume

thus,

for 0.0027 mol of HNO₃, we have

0.08892 = 0.0027 / Volume

or

Volume =  0.0303 Liters

Which property can be used to tell gold and pyrite apart?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

D. Malleability

Explanation:

Gold is made up of the element Au and it is a metal.

Pyrite is iron sulfide and it is a non-metal.

  • They have very similar appearance to such an extent that pyrite is widely called the fool's gold.
  • To distinguish between the two, we simply explore their metallic properties.
  • Gold is malleable. Pyrite is not. It will crumble under pressure.

Which best describes how a fetus exchanges gases while in the womb?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

C. Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

Explanation:

The fetus is a developing baby in the womb or uterus. The fetus is incapable of performing certain life processes itself and hence, depends on the mother to do them. One of these processes is GAS EXCHANGE. Gas exchange occurs in the fetus via a structure called PLACENTA.

Placenta is a structure that forms in the uterus during pregnancy. It helps the developing fetus supply oxygen and nutrients from the mother and also remove wastes from the fetus back to the mother. The oxygen is taken into the fetus via the PLACENTA while the carbon dioxide (waste product of respiration) is removed via the PLACENTA. Hence, Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.
