Question

Problem PageQuestion Gaseous ethane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . If of water is produced from the reaction of of ethane and of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

= ( 1.08 / 2.2 ) 100% = 49%

Explanation:

Balanced Equation: 2CH₃CH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

Calculate moles of CH₃CH₃ and O₂

1.2 ₃₃ ( 1 ₃₃/ 30.0694 ₃₃ ) = 0.040 ₃₃

8.6 ₂ ( 1 2/ 31.998 ₂ ) = 0.27 ₃₃

Find limiting reagent  0.040 ₃₃ ( 5 ₂/ 2 ₃₃ ) = 0.10 ₂

CH₃CH₃ is the limiting Reagent

CH₃CH₃ (L.R.) O₂ CO₂ H₂O

Initial (mol) 0.040 0.27 0 0

Change (mol) -2x=-0 -5x= -0.10  +2x=+0.040 +6x=+0.12

Final (mol) 0 0.117 0.040 0.12

0.040 − 2 = 0 = 0.020

Determine percent yield

0.12 ₂ ( 18.0148 ₂ /1 ₂ ) = 2.2 ₂  

= ( 1.08 / 2.2 ) 100% = 49%
