Percentage yield of sodium peroxide if 5 g of sodium oxide produces 5.5 g of sodium peroxide

Chemistry

<h3>Answer:</h3>

87.40 %

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Percent yield of a product

We are given;

Mass of Sodium oxide 5 g

Experimental or Actual yield of sodium peroxide IS 5.5 g

We are required to calculate the percent yield of sodium peroxide;

The equation for the reaction that forms sodium peroxide is

2Na₂O + O₂ → 2Na₂O₂

<h3>Step 1; moles of sodium oxide</h3>

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of sodium oxide is 61.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles = 5 g ÷ 61.98 g/mol

          = 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 2: Theoretical moles of sodium peroxide produced </h3>

From the equation, 2 moles of sodium oxide produces 1 mole of sodium peroxide.

Thus, moles of sodium peroxide used is 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 3: Theoretical mass of sodium peroxide used</h3>

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of sodium peroxide = 77.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass = 0.0807 moles × 77.98 g/mol

                            = 6.293 g

Theoretical mass of Na₂O₂ is 6.293 g

<h3>Step 4: Percent yield of Na₂O₂</h3>
  • We know that percent yield is given by the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

Percent yield=(\frac{Actual yield}{theoretical yield})100

Percent yield(Na_{2}O_{2})=(\frac{5.5g}{6.293g})100

                       = 87.40 %

Therefore, the percentage yield of sodium peroxide is 87.4%

6. The Earth’s electric field is directed vertically downward; at the ground level its strength is E = 130 N/C, and at an altitu
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

5.31x10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

The cube is located 100 m altitude from the ground, so the superior face is at 100m and has E = 70 N/C, and the inferior face is at the ground with E = 130 N/C.

The electric field is perpendicular to the bottom and the top of the cube, so the total flux is the flux at the superior face plus the flux at the inferior face:

Фtotal = Ф100m + Фground

Where Ф = E*A*cos(α). α is the angle between the area vector and the field (180° at the topo and 0° at the bottom):

Фtotal = E100*A*cos(180°) + Eground*A*cos(0°)

Фtotal = 70A*(-1) + 130*A*1

Фtotal = 60A

By Gauss' Law, the flux is:

Фtotal = q/ε, where q is the charge, and ε is the permittivity constant in vacuum = 8.854x10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

A = 100mx100m = 10000 m²

q = 60*10000*8.854x10⁻¹²

q = 5.31x10⁻⁶ C

1) When 2.38g of magnesium is added to 25.0cm of 2.27 M hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is released.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. HCl.

b. 0.057 g.

c. 1.69 g.

d. 77 %.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:

Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

Whereas there is 1:2 mole ratio between them.

a) Here, we can identify the limiting reactant as that yielded the fewest moles of hydrogen gas product via the 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratios:

n_{H_2}^{by\  HCl}=0.025L*2.27\frac{molHCl}{1L}*\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl}  =0.0284molH_2\\\\n_{H_2}^{by\  Mg}=2.38gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg}*\frac{1molH_2}{1molMg}=0.0979molH_2

Thus, since hydrochloric yields fewer moles of hydrogen than magnesium, we realize it is the limiting reactant.

b) Here, we use the molar mass of gaseous hydrogen (2.02 g/mol) to compute the mass:

m_{H_2}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{2.02gH_2}{1molH_2}=0.057gH_2

c) Here, we compute the mass of magnesium associated with the yielded 0.0248 moles of hydrogen:

m_{Mg}^{reacted}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{1molMg}{1molH_2}*\frac{24.3gMg}{1molMg}  =0.690gMg

Thus, the mass of excess magnesium turns out:

m_{Mg}^{excess}=2.38g-0.690g=1.69gMg

d) Finally, we compute the percent yield, considering 0.044 g is the actual yield and 0.057 g the theoretical yield:

Y=\frac{0.044g}{0.057g} *100\%\\\\Y=77\%
