Answer: HCl is the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield is 2.72 g of CO2. If the actual yield was 2.50 g then, the percent yield is 92.0% when rounding off is done only for the final answer.  

Further Explanation:

In order to determine the theoretical yield and the percent yield of CO2, the following steps must be done:

  1. Determine the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that will determine the amount of CO2 that will actually form.
  2. Determine the theoretical yield for CO2 when the limiting reactant is used.
  3. Get the percent yield by getting the ratio of the actual yield stated in the problem and the calculated theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

Determining the Limiting Reactant

The Limiting Reactant (LR) will produce fewer moles of the products. To check  which of the reactants HCl or CaCO3 is the LR, we do dimensional analysis:

For HCl:

moles\ CO_{2}\ = (4.50\ g\ HCl)\(\frac{1\ mol\ HCl}{36.46094\ g})( \frac{1\ mol\ CO_{2} }{2\ mol\ HCl}) \\moles\ CO_{2}\ =\ 0.0617098

For CaCO3:

moles\ of\ CO_{2}\ = (15.00\ g\ CaCO_{3})\ (\frac{1\ mol\ CaCO_{3} }{100.0869\ g\ CaCO_{3} })\ (\frac{1\ mol\ CO_{2} }{1\ mol\ CaCO_{3} })\\moles\ of\ CO_{2}\ = \ 0.1499

Since HCl produces fewer moles of CO2, then it is the limiting reactant. We will use the given amount to determine the theoretical yield for CO2.

Determining the Theoretical Yield

From Step 1, we know that 0.0617098 moles of CO2 will be produced. We will just convert this to grams.

grams\ CO_{2}\ =\ (0.0617098\ mol\ CO_{2})  (\frac{44.01\ g\ CO_{2}}{1\ mol\ CO_{2}})\\grams\ CO_{2}\ =\ 2.71585

Since the answer only requires 3 significant figures, the final answer is 2.72 grams CO2.

Determining the Percent Yield

Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield will give us the percent yield, which is an indicator of how efficient the experiment or the method used was.

From the problem, the actual yield was 2.50 g, hence, the percent yield is:

percent\ yield\ of\ CO_{2}\ = (\frac{2.50\ g}{2.71585\ g}) (100)\\percent\ yield\ of\ CO_{2}\ = 92.05221

Rounding off to three significant figures, the percent yield is 92.0%. This suggests that the method used is somewhat efficient in producing CO2.

The recommended maintenance dose of penicillin for children is 1.0 mg/kg/hr by injection. Of 10 mL of a 25 mg/mL solution of pen
SOVA2 [1]

This problem is providing us with the recommended maintenance dose of penicillin for children as 1.0 mg/kg/hr by injection. Thus, the delivery rate for a 40-pound child is required, if 10 mL of a 25 mg/mL solution of penicillin is added to a 100-mL bottle of saline. At the end, the result is 8.0 mL/hr:

<h3>Dimensional analysis:</h3>

In chemistry, dimensional analysis allows us to obtain a specific result given relevant information about it. Although a formula is not always provided, one can use the units as a reference for the calculations.

For example, this problem asks for the rate, in mL/hr, at which a child gets this dose, so the first step will be to get the mass of the child in kilograms:

40 lb*\frac{0.4536kg}{1lb}= 18.144kg

Next, we calculate the rate at which the penicillin is delivered to this child:

1.0\frac{mg}{kg*hr} *18.144kg=18.144\frac{mg}{hr}

After that, we calculate the total mass of penicillin that is delivered:

10mL*25\frac{mg}{mL} =250 mg

And get the new concentration once it is diluted to 100 mL:

\frac{250mg}{10mL+100mL}=2.27\frac{mg}{mL}

And finally, we combine the mg/hr with the mg/mL to get the result in mL/hr as required:

18.144\frac{mg}{hr} *\frac{1mL}{2.27mg}\\ \\=8.0\frac{mL}{hr}

If your in a city, go inside a building immediately. most buildings have lightening rod, so the lightening voltage won't hit on you.
if you're in an open area, don't go under a tree, or it'll hit you and the tree, even if it doesn't hit you, you still cannot take the impact by the exploding tree. leave the water or metal bicycle or stuff that conducts electricity.

What happens when sodium and chlorine react to make table salt <br><br> Please help
Julli [10]
When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

During the formation of a chemical bond between two hydrogen atoms, which of the following statements is always true?
Wewaii [24]

A) Energy is released during the formation of the bond.

Explanation:

During the formation of a chemical bonds between two hydrogen atoms, energy is always released during the formation of this bond type.

Bond formation process is usually exothermic and energy is released during the formation of the bond.

  • Bond breaking process is an endothermic process in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding.
  • Whenever a bond is broken, the bond energy value is positive but when a bond is formed, the bond energy value is given a negative sign.

For a bond formation process in which hydrogen atoms are bonded covalently, energy is usually released.
