Answer: At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid
fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.
Explanation:
Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole
Explanation :
According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The formation reaction of
will be,

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,
(1)

(2)

(3)

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :
(1)

(2)

(3)

The expression for enthalpy of formation of
will be,



Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

Percent yield is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.
Actual yield = 55 g ( 1 mol / 159.69 g ) = 0.34 mol Fe2O3
To find for the theoretical yield, we first determine the limiting reactant.
100 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g) = 3.13 mol O2
200 g FeS2 (1 mol / 119.98g) = 1.67 mol FeS2
Therefore, the limiting reactant is O2.
Theoretical yield = 3.13 mol O2 ( 2 mol Fe2O3 / 11 mol O2 ) = 0.57 mol Fe2O3
Percent yield = (0.34 mol / 0.57 mol) x 100 = 59.74%
