A person's blood alcohol (C2H5OH) level can be determined by titrating a sample of blood plasma with a potassium dichromate solu

tion. The balanced equation is 16H (aq) 2Cr2O72−(aq) C2H5OH(aq) → 4Cr3 (aq) 2CO2(g) 11H2O(l) If 35.46 mL of 0.05961 M Cr2O72− is required to titrate 26.60 g of plasma, what is the mass percent of alcohol in the blood?

Answer:

0.18 %

Explanation:

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For Cr_2O_7^{2-} :

Molarity = 0.05961 M

Volume = 35.46 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 35.46×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of Cr_2O_7^{2-} :

Moles=0.05961 \times {35.46\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of Cr_2O_7^{2-}  = 0.002114 moles

According to the given reaction:

16H^+_{(aq)}+2Cr_2O_7^{2-}_{(aq)}+C_2H_5OH_{(aq)}\rightarrow 4Cr^{3+}_{(aq)}+2CO_2_{(g)}+11H_2O_{(l)}

2 moles of Cr_2O_7^{2-} react with 1 mole of alcohol

Thus,

0.002114 moles  of Cr_2O_7^{2-} react with 1/2*0.002114 mole of alcohol

Moles of alcohol = 0.001057 moles

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.001057 * 46.07 g = 0.048696 g

Mass of plasma = 26.60 g

Mass Percent is the percentage by the mass of compound present in the mixture.

Mass\ \%=\frac{Mass_{ethanol}}{Total\ mass\ of\ plasma}\times 100

Mass\ \%=\frac{0.048696}{26.60}\times 100=0.18\ \%

Ethene is converted to ethane by the reaction flows into a catalytic reactor at 25.0 atm and 250.°C with a flow rate of 1050. L/
Sphinxa [80]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 76.34 %

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 25.0 atm

Temperature of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 250^oC=273+250=523K

Volume of C_2H_4 = 1050 L per min

Volume of H_2 = 1550 L per min

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_4 and H_2 by using ideal gas equation.

For C_2H_4 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1050L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=611.34moles

For H_2 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1550L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=902.46moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react with 1 mole of H_2

So, 611.34 mole of C_2H_4 react with 611.34 mole of H_2

From this we conclude that, H_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and C_2H_4 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_6.

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 1 mole of C_2H_6

As, 611.34 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 611.34 mole of C_2H_6

Now we have to calculate the mass of C_2H_6.

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=\text{Moles of }C_2H_6\times \text{Molar mass of }C_2H_6

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=(611.34mole)\times (30g/mole)=18340.2g

The theoretical yield of C_2H_6 = 18340.2 g

The actual yield of C_2H_6 = 14.0 kg = 14000 g      (1 kg = 1000 g)

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of C_2H_6

\%\text{ yield of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{Actual yield of }C_2H_6}{\text{Theoretical yield of }C_2H_6}\times 100=\frac{14000g}{18340.2g}\times 100=76.34\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 76.34 %
