Answer:
CH₂ ; 67.1 %
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation
Assume 100 grams of the compound.
# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol
# mol H = 14.3 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol
The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C
So the empirical formula is CH₂
For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄ reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.
We need to calculate the moles of NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )
1.203 g NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol = 0.0318 mol
Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:
0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆
Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol = 0.440 g
% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
The answer is D. Effective collisions lead to chemical reactions!
Because a good stepping stone would be a solid and if that solid were to melt or turn to gas you’d have no stepping stone.
Yeah...it should be out of your system by then
