In order to increase the rate of a reaction, heat may not always be the best option. Describe why someone might choose to add a

catalyst instead of heat.

Catalysts provide alternate pathways which speed up the rate of the reaction and don't undergo any permanent chemical change.

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product obtained if the limiting reactant is completely converted to produc

Elis [28]

Answer: 9.9 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

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

a) moles of $H_2$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.150g}{2g/mol}=4.08moles$

b) moles of $C_2H_4$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{9.330g}{28g/mol}=0.33moles$

$H_2(g)+C_2H_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g)$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $C_2H_4$ combine with 1 mole of $H_2$

Thus 0.33 mole of $C_2H_4$ will combine with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33$ mole of $H_2$

Thus $C_2H_4$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 1 mole of $C_2H_4$ give = 1 mole of $C_2H_6$

Thus 0.33 moles of $C_2H_4$ give = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33moles$ of $C_2H_6$

Mass of $C_2H_6=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.33moles\times 30g/mol=9.9g$

Thus theoretical yield (g) of $C_2H_6$ produced by the reaction is 9.9 grams

Calculate the molality of a solution that contains 51.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, in 500 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The density

PtichkaEL [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 500 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.60g/mL\times 500mL)=800g$

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent (in g)}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

Given mass of naphthalene = 51.2 g

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.17 g/mol

Mass of solvent = 800 g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Molality of naphthalene}=\frac{51.2\times 1000}{128.17\times 800}\\\\\text{Molality of naphthalene}=0.499m$

Hence, the molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m
