Ethyl alcohol is prepared industrially by the reaction of ethylene, C2H4, with water. What is the percent yield of the reaction

if 4.6 g of ethylene gives 4.7 g of ethyl alcohol?

Answer:

% yield = 62.21 %

Explanation:

  • C2H4(g) + H2O(l) → C2H6O(l)

∴ mass C2H4(g) = 4.6 g

∴ mass C2H6O(l) = 4.7 g

  • % yield = ((real yield)/(theoretical yield))×100

theretical yield:

∴ molar mass C2H4(g) = 28.05 g/mol

⇒ mol C2H4(g) = (4.6 g)*(mol/28.05 g) = 0.164 mol

⇒ mol C2H6O(l) = (0.164 mol C2H4)*(mol C2H6O(l)/molC2H4(g))

⇒ mol C2H6O(l) = 0.164 mol

∴ molar mass C2H6O(l) = 46.07 g/mol

⇒ mass C2H6O(l) = (0.164 mol)*(46.07 g/mol) = 7.55 g

⇒ theoretical yield = 7.55 g

⇒ % yield = (4.7 g)/(7.55 g))*100

⇒ % yield = 62.21 %

Fill in the sentences below to explore the process by which a storm becomes a hurricane. some terms may be used more than once.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The sentences which are made by the given sentences are as :

Wind speeds are below 38 miles per hour, this feature represents the tropical depression.

Explanation:

Here in the question it has been mentioned to form the sentences with the given one:

  • Wind speeds are below 38 miles per hour, this feature represents the tropical depression.
  • A tropical disturbance leads to an array of clouds which are disorganized    also there are thunderstorms with no rotation or little rotation with it.
  • When the winds are blowing at a speed of 38 and 74 miles per hour then it is called as a tropical disturbance.
  • 74 miles per hour should be the blowing speed of storm in order to consider it to be a Hurricane.
  • When the storm reaches a tropical storm stage it gets its name.
  • All of the storms which get occurred from time to time, among them half or even all get converted into a Hurricane.

These are the sentences which are made by exploring the whole process and by which a storm becomes a Hurricane.

As the tempreture of a liquid increases the solubility of a liquid of that liquid
anzhelika [568]
As the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute in the liquid also increases.  This is due to the fact that the increase in energy allows the liquid to more effectively break up the solute.  The additoin of energy also shifts the equilibrium of the reation to the right since it takes energy to dissolve most things and you are adding more of it (this is explained with Le Chatlier principles).

I hope this helps and also I assumed that your question involved the solubility of an ionic substance in a solvent like water.  If that was not your question feel free to say so in the comments so that I can answer your actually question.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be  quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.

What is the theoretical yield of NaBr
dolphi86 [110]

The theoretical yield of NaBr given that 2.36 moles of FeBr₃ reacts is 7.08 moles

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fе₂S₃ + 6NaBr

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles FeBr₃ reacted to produce 6 moles of NaBr

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield of NaBr</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles FeBr₃ reacted to produce 6 moles of NaBr

Therefore,

2.36 moles FeBr₃ will react to produce = (2.36 × 6) / 2 = 7.08 moles of NaBr

Therefore,

Thus, the theoretical yield of NaBr is 7.08 moles
