Answer:

A. 70.7%

Explanation:

In the first step lets compute the molar mass of CH₃OH and CO

Molar Mass of CH₃OH =  1(12.01 g/mol) + 4(1.008 g/mol) +1(16.00 g/mol)

                                     = 32.042 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂      = 1(12.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol)  

                                     = 44.01 g/mol

                                   

Mass of only one reactant i.e. CH₃OH is given so  it must be the limiting reactant. Next, the theoretical yield is calculated directly as follows:

Given mass of CH₃OH is 10.4 g. So we have:

                                     10.4g CH₃OH

Convert grams of CH₃OH to moles of CH₃OH utilizing molar mass of CH₃OH as:

                          1 mol CH₃OH / 32.042 g CH₃OH

Convert CH₃OH to moles of CO₂ using mole ratio as:

                             2 mol CO₂ / 2 mol CH₃OH

Convert moles of  CO₂ to grams of  CO₂ utilizing molar mass of  CO₂ as:

                           44.01 g/mol CO₂ / 1 mol CO₂

Now calculating theoretical yield using above steps:

[ 10.4 g CH₃OH ]  [1 mol CH₃OH / 32.042 g CH₃OH ]  [2 mol CO₂ / 2 mol CH₃OH]  [44.01 g/mol CO₂ / 1 mol CO₂]

Multiplication is performed here. We are left with 10.4 and 44.01 g CO₂ from numerator terms in the above equation and 32.042 from denominator terms after cancellation process of above terms. So this equation becomes:

= ( 10.4 ) ( 44.01 ) g CO₂ / 32.042

= 457.704/32/042

=  14.28 g CO₂

Theoretical yield =  14.28 g CO₂  

Finally compute the percent yield for a process in which 10.4g of CH₃OH reacts and 10.1 g of CO₂ is formed:

percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100

As we have calculated theoretical yield which is 14.28 g CO₂ and actual yield is 10.1 g CO₂ So,

percent yield = (10.1 g CO₂ / 14.28 g CO₂) x 100%

                       = 0.707 x 100%

                       = 70.7 %

Hence option A 70.7% yield is the correct answer.

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

Allisa [31]

Explanation:

(1).  It is known that in a reaction equation, reactants are placed or written on left hand side and products are written on the right hand side.

For example, N_{2} + 3H_{2} \rightarrow 2NH_{3}

Hence, in a reaction equation you start with the reactants and end up with the products.

(2).  The number of atoms in a reaction will remain the same because according to the law of conservation of mass, mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of products.

Therefore, number of atoms on the reactant side will be equal to the number of atoms on product side.
