A student performs the reduction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (151.12 g/mol) with sodium borohydride (37.83 g/mol) in the presence of

ethanol. The student mixes 4.13 g of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with 0.700 g of sodium borohydride and obtains 1.85 g of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (153.14 g/mol). What is the percent yield of this reaction

Answer:

65.4%

Explanation:

The redox reaction is a 1:1:1 reaction because the reagents suffer a double displacement reaction, and the substance that is substituted have the same charge (H+ and Br-), thus, we first need to know which of the reagents is the limiting.

Let's test the 4-nitrobenzaldehyde as the limiting. The mass needed for sodium borohydride (m) is the mass given of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde multiplied by the stoichiometric mass of sodium borohydride divided by the stoichiometric mass of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. The stoichiometric mass is the number of moles in the stoichiometric representation (1:1:1) multiplied by the molar mass, so:

m = (4.13 * 37.83*1)/(151.12*1)

m = 1.034 g

So, the mass needed of the other reagent is larger than the mass that was given, so, it will be the limiting, and the stoichiometric calculus must be done with it.

The mass of the product that was expected is then:

m = (0.700*153.14*1)/(37.83*1)

m = 2.83 g

The percent yield is the mass that was formed divided by the expected mass, and then multiplied by 100%:

%yield = (1.85/2.83)*100%

%yield = 65.4%

How can toxicant absorption be reduced after exposure to the skin? How can absorption be reduced for orally consumed chemicals?
zmey [24]

Answer:

The toxicant absorbtion can be reduced after exposure to the skin the surrounding clothing shoes or gloves should be removed or torn off than the part of the body which was exposured to the toxicant should be immediatly washed using clean running water for a while, with cold shower being the most recommended splashing method. In case of absorption for orally consumed chemicals should check on any remaining toxicant residue and be removed from the mouth. Vomiting should be induced to patients that are still conscious by providing them with liquids that can provoke vomiting. This will help in removing the toxicant in the intestinal and reduce their effect. Gastric lavage should then be done to induce diarrhea.

How many atoms are in 5 mole of water?<br> Steps
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of water = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

5 moles of water = Z atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 mole = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 5 moles)

Z•mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole

Divide both sides by 1 mole

Z•mole/1 mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole/ 1 mole

Z = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms

[Place the value of Z in standard form]

Z = 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Thus, there are 3.01 x 10^24 atoms in 5 mole of water
