Answer:
- 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O
Explanation:
The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.
The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.
The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:
To calculate the yield follow these steps:
<u>1. Mole ratio</u>
<u />
<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>
- Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>
a) <u>For CO₂</u>
i) number of moles
ii) mass in grams
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol
- mass = number of moles × molar mass
- mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg
b) <u>For H₂O</u>
i) number of moles
ii) mass in grams
The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol
- mass = number of moles × molar mass
- mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg
