A student carries out the precipitation reaction shown below, starting with 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate. The final mass of th

e precipitate is 2.9 g. Answer the questions below to determine the percent yield. 3Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq) 1. a. Which product is the precipitate? b. How many moles of the precipitate would one expect to be produced from 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate? c. How many grams of solid do you expect to be produced? d. What is the percent yield?

Answer:

a. Ca₃(PO₄)₂.

b. 0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced

c. 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

d. Percent yield = 93.5%

Explanation:

a. Based on the reaction:

3Ca(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Na₃PO₄(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NaNO₃(aq)

<em>3 moles of calcium nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium phosphate producieng 1 mole of calcium phosphate.</em>

<em />

As you can see, Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is a solid product -(s)-, that means when the reaction occurs the precipitate produced is the solid,

<h3>Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

b. As 3 moles of calcium nitrate produce 1 mole of calcium phosphate and there are 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate

0.030 moles Ca(NO₃)₂ × (1 mol Ca₃(PO₄)₂ / 3 moles Ca(NO₃)₂) =

<h3>0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced</h3><h3 />

c. As molar mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is 310.18g/mol, the mass of 0.010 moles (The expected mass) is;

0.010 moles Ca₃(PO₄)₂ × (310.18g / mol) =

<h3>3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

d. The percent yield is defined as 100 times the ratio between the obtained yield (That is 2.9g of precipitate, Ca₃(PO₄)₂) and the expected yield, 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂:

\frac{2.9g}{3.1g} *100

<h3>Percent yield = 93.5%</h3>

A sample of helium (He) effuses 2.0 times faster than another gas. What is the molar mass of the other gas?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is 16 gram per mole.

Explanation:

Let A be the gas helium, and B be the unknown gas. It is clearly mentioned in the question that the effusion rate of helium gas is two times more than that of gas B. The molar mass of helium is 4.0 gram per mole. To solve the problem, Grahm's law is used, that is,  

Rate of effusion A/rate of effusion B = √ (Molar mass B/Molar mass of A

2.0 = √Molar mass of B/4.0 gram per mole.  

Now squaring both the sides we get,  

4.0 = Molar mass of B / 4.0

The molar mass of B = 16 gram per mole.

Balancing Equations help (please explain)
klemol [59]

Answer:

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

What happens to temperature and kinetic energy of particles during a change of state
Wittaler [7]
When a substance is changing state, its temperature remains constant. This is because energy is used to increase/decrease kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance, increasing/decreasing the inter-molecular distance and overcoming the energy bonds present between the molecules. Therefore, no energy is used to raise the temperature of the substance and therefore it remains constant
