Technically the are both right and wrong. Solid substances are most likely to sublime is they have... high vapor pressure and weak intermolecular forces.
The Balanced Chemical Equation is as follow;
4 KO₂ + 2 CO₂ → 2 K₂CO₃ + 3 O₂
First find out the Limiting Reagent,
According to equation,
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ reacted with = 44.8 L (2 moles) of CO₂
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will react with = X L of CO₂
Solving for X,
X = (44.8 L × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 4.40 L of CO₂
Hence, to consume 27.9 g of KO₂ only 4.40 L CO₂ is required, while, we are provided with 29 L of CO₂, it means CO₂ is in excess and KO₂ is is limited amount, Therefore, KO₂ will control the yield of K₂CO₃. So,
According to eq.
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ formed = 138.2 g of K₂CO₃
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will form = X g of K₂CO₃
Solving for X,
X = (138.2 g × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 13.57 g of K₂CO₃
So, 13.57 g of K₂CO₃ formed is the theoretical yield.
%age Yield = 13.57 / 21.8 × 100
%age Yield = 62.24 %
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
