Answer:

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2SO4 = 5.9 grams

Mass of NaOH = 6.6 grams

Molar mass H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles H2SO4 = 5.9 grams / 98.08 g/mol

Moles H2SO4 = 0.060 moles

Moles NaOH = 6.6 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.165 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.060 moles). NaOH is in excess . There will react 2*0.060 = 0.120 moles

There will remain 0.165 - 0.120 = 0.045 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

For 0.0600 moles H2SO4 we'll have 2*0.0600 = 0.120 moles H2O

Step 6: Calculate mass H2O

Mass H2O = 0.120 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass H2O = 2.16 grams

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:  

Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\

Equation:  

3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\

Calculating the amount of MnCO_3

= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\=  13.1 \ kg

For point b:

Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\  of\  Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\

=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg

Equation:  

3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\

Calculating the amount of MnO_2:  

= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\=  6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\
