One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HC

O3)·2H2O(s) â 3Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + 5H2O(g) When 1.00 metric ton (1.00 à 103 kg) of trona is decomposed, 0.650 metric ton of Na2CO3 is recovered. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
a. 92.4%
b. 72.1%
c. 65.0%
d. 48.1%
e. 35.0%

Answer:

a. 92.4%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

To obtain the percent yield you need to obtain moles of trona and calculate thoeretical moles of Na₂CO₃, and the ratio of obtained moles / theoretical moles of Na₂CO₃ give percent yield, thus:

Moles of trona:

1.00 metric ton × (1x10³kg / 1 metric ton) × ( 1000moles /226.03 kg) = <em>4424 moles</em>

The theoretical moles of Na₂CO₃ that produce 4424 moles of trona are (Based on the reaction, 2 moles of trona produce 3 moles of Na₂CO₃):

4424 moles trona × (3 moles Na₂CO₃ / 2 moles trona) = <em>6636 moles of Na₂CO₃.</em>

The obtained moles of Na₂CO₃:

0.650 metric ton × (1x10³kg / 1 metric ton) × (1000 moles / 105.99kg) = <em>6133 moles</em>

The ratio of obtained moles / theoretical moles gives:

6133 moles / 6636 moles = 0.924 = <em>92.4%</em>

I hope it helps!

Chemical reaction (dissociation) 1: C₂O₄H₂(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 2: C₂O₄H⁻(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
c(C₂O₄H⁻) = c(H⁺) = x.
c(C₂O₄H₂) = 0.0269 M.
pKa₁ = 1.23.
Ka₁ = 10∧(-1.23) = 0.059.
Ka₁ = c(C₂O₄H⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₂O₄H₂).
0.059 = x² / (0.0269 M - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = c(H⁺) = 0.02 M.
pH = -log(0.02 M) = 1.7.

garik1379 [7]

Bitter taste, high pH, and caustic Bitter are the characteristics of base.

<h3>What are the characteristics of base?</h3>

Bases have bitter taste, soapy feel, turn red litmus paper blue. Bases are substances that contain metal oxides or hydroxides. Its pH is higher than 7 up to 14.

So we can conclude that bitter taste, high pH, and caustic Bitter are the characteristics of base.
