Answer:

(A) first order reaction

Explanation:

A first order reaction is a type of reaction in which the rate of the reaction depends only on the concentration on one of the reactants. Since A is the only reactant we have, it is right to deduce that this reaction is a first order reaction.

Note: while the order of this reaction is 1, its molecularity is 2. The molecularity of a reaction is the number of moles of reactants that is actually reacting.

(B) is wrong

This is because a zero order reaction is one in which the rate of reaction is not influenced by the concentrations of the reactants and hence remains constant irrespective. Since we were not furnished with this idea in the question, it is only right that we reject this answer.

C is outrightly wrong as we have only one reactant.

(D) is wrong

We have only one reactant.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Bad White [126]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g$

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g$
