amount of product formed or amount of reactants used / time
<u>Given:</u>
Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) = 96.1 g
<u>To determine:</u>
Theoretical yield of calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2
<u>Explanation:</u>
Balanced Chemical reaction-
3Ca(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 → 6NaNO3 + Ca3(PO4)2
Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
3 moles of Ca(NO3)2 produces 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2
Now,
Given mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 96.1 g
Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g/mol
# moles of ca(NO3)2 = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles
Therefore, # moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0589 * 1/3 = 0.0196 moles
Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 310 g/mol
Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0196 * 310 = 6.076 g
Ans: Theoretical yield of Ca3(PO4)2 = 6.08 g
Energy, Temperature, and Changes of State
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid.
Not every plant grows from a seed. Some plants, like ferns and mosses, grow from spores. Other plants use asexual vegetative reproduction and grow new plants from rhizomes or tubers. We can also use techniques like grafting or take cuttings to make new plants.
