A chemist prepares hydrogen fluoride by means of the following reaction:

Chemistry

Answer:

39.3%

Explanation:

CaF2 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + 2HF

We must first determine the limiting reactant, the limiting reactant is the reactant that yields the least number of moles of products. The question explicitly says that H2SO4 is in excess so CaF2 is the limiting reactant hence:

For CaF2;

Number of moles reacted= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaF2= 78.07 g/mol

Number of moles reacted= 11g/78.07 g/mol = 0.14 moles of Calcium flouride

Since 1 mole of calcium fluoride yields two moles of 2 moles hydrogen fluoride

0.14 moles of calcium fluoride will yield 0.14×2= 0.28 moles of hydrogen fluoride

Mass of hydrogen fluoride formed (theoretical yield) = number of moles× molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen fluoride= 20.01 g/mol

Mass of HF= 0.28 moles × 20.01 g/mol= 5.6 g ( theoretical yield of HF)

Actual yield of HF was given in the question as 2.2g

% yield of HF= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

%yield of HF= 2.2/5.6 ×100

% yield of HF= 39.3%

Calculate the mass in grams of carbon dioxide produced from 11.2 g of octane (C8H18) in the reaction above.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

34.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Octane  = 11.2g

  Reaction expression;

      2C₈H₁₈  + 25O₂  →  16CO₂  + 18H₂O

Mass of octane = 11.2g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  = ?

Solution:

From the balanced reaction equation;

         2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

From the given specie, let us find the number of moles;

    Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Molar mass of C₈H₁₈   = 8(12) + 18(1) = 114g/mole

Number of moles of octane  = \frac{11.2}{114}   = 0.098mole

   

    2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

    0.098 mole of octane will produce \frac{0.098 x 16}{2}   = 0.79mole of CO₂

Mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass

           Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

Mass of CO₂  = 0.79 x 44  = 34.6g

What branch of chemistry studies the flow of electrons?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Your answer is B, Electrochemistry!

Explanation:

This is the part of chemistry that studies the chemical process in which electrons flow. This flow is called electricity. Electricity is generated by the flow of electrons, from one element to another element. This reaction is called oxidation reduction.

What processes add methane (CH4) to the atmosphere<br>​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Cultivated rice paddies

Drilling of natural deposits

Fossil fuel use

Burning of biomass

Landfills

Explanation:

The bulk of the methane released into the atmosphere are as a result of various human activities.

  • Cultivated rice paddies are a known source of methane
  • The drilling of natural deposits and their exploration can release some methane into the atmosphere
  • Burning of fossil fuel and biomass is a source of methane
  • Landfills produces methane as organic materials begins to decay.
