Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances which donate electrons to complete their octet. They are malleable and ductile in nature. They are able to conduct heat and electricity. Metals have shiny surface and sonorous in nature.

Metals are placed at the left and middle of periodic table.

Whereas non-metals are the substances which accept electrons to complete their octet. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They are brittle and non-sonorous in nature.

Non-metals are placed at the right of periodic table.

Hence, we can conclude that right or middle of the table because it is a metal best explains the probable position of the substance in the periodic table.

What is the percent yield of a reaction in which 200. g of phosphorus trichloride reacts with excess water to form 91.0 g of hcl
Snowcat [4.5K]
Answer is: <span>yield of a reaction is 56,4%.
</span>Chemical reaction: PCl₃ + 3H₂O → 3HCl + H₃PO₃.
m(PCl₃) = 200 g.
m(HCl) = 91,0 g.
n(PCl₃) = m(PCl₃) ÷ M(PCl₃).
n(PCl₃) = 200 g ÷ 137,33 g/mol.
n(PCl₃) = 1,46 mol.
n(HCl) = m(HCl) ÷ M(HCl).
n(HCl) = 91 g ÷ 36,45 g/mol.
n(HCl) = 2,47 mol.
From reaction: n(PCl₃) : n(HCl) = 1 : 3.
n(HCl) = 1,46 mol · 3 = 4,38 mol.
Yield of reaction: 2,47 mol ÷ 4,38 mol · 100% = 56,4%.
