Calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with tetraphosphorus decoxide (P4O10) to form calcium phosphate (Ca3(P4O10)2) according to this equat

ion: 6 CaO+P4O10→2Ca3(PO4)2 In a particular reaction, 14.2 g P4O10 reacts with excess CaO and produces 24.8 g Ca3(PO4)2 . Approximately what is the percent yield of the reaction

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 80%

Explanation:

6CaO + P4O10→2Ca3(PO4)2

Relation is 1 mol P4O10 to make 2 moles Ca3(PO4)2 (100% yield)

Molar mass P4O10 = 283,8 g/m

Molar mass Ca3(PO4)2 = 309,8 g/m

Mass /Molar mass = moles

I have 14,2 g P4O10 so I have 14,2g /283,8g/m = 0,05 moles

It was converted 24,8 g Ca3(PO4)2 so it was converted:

24,8 g /309,8 g/m = 0,08 moles

In the 100 % yield of the reaction:

1 mol P4O10 _____ 2 moles Ca3(PO4)2

I use 0,05 moles P4O10 ____ so I made (0,05 moles . 2 moles)/1 mol = 0,1 moles

0,1 moles converted of Ca3(PO4)2 ____ 100 %

0,08 moles moles I converted of Ca3(PO4)2 ____

(0,08 moles . 100%) / 0,1 moles = 80%

Identify the oxidized substance, the reduced substance, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the redox reaction. Cu(s)
spin [16.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

How do catalysts affect energy of reactions
Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.

An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.

What is an atomic reaction​
castortr0y [4]

Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.  
  • This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
  • Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
  • In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.
