Chemistry

Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a.

1. NO2(g): Reactant.

2. CO(g): Reactant.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate.

4. CO2(g): Product.

5. NO(g): Product.

b. See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

a. In this case, given the reactions, we can identify each species as:

1. NO2(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

2. CO(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate because it is a product in the step 1 and a reactant in step 2, for that reason it is not present in the overall reaction.

4. CO2(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

5. NO(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

b. In this case, given that the first step is slow and endothermic, it has a high activation energy and the products will have more energy than the reactants, for that reason the final energy is above the initial point. Moreover, since the second step is fast and exothermic, it has a low activation energy and the products will have less energy than the reactants, for that reason, the reaction coordinate diagram is shown on the attached file.

Regards.

During an investigation, a student burns magnesium to form magnesium oxide. The starting mass of magnesium is measured as 21.3 g
enot [183]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 21.3 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol

Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.

                 Mg           :               MgO

                 2               :               2

                0.88             :             0.88

Mass of MgO:           

Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass

Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol

Mass of MgO =  35.46 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100

Percentage yield = 85.2%
