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.

Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺²   +   2e⁻ -  oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction

Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!
