Answer:

The % yield of the reaction = 27.5 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Li = 12.7 grams

Mass of N2 = 34.7 grams

Actual yield of Li3N = 5.85 grams

Molar mass of  Lithium = 6.94 g/mol

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of LI3N = 34.83 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation:

6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s)

Step 3: Calculate moles of Lithium

Moles Li = mass Li / Molar mass Li

Moles Li = 12.7 grams / 6.94 g/mol

Moles Li = 1.83 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = 34.7 g/ 28 g/mol

Moles N2 = 1.24 moles

Step 5: Limiting reactant

For 6 moles Li consumed, we need 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of Li3N

Lithium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (1.83 moles).

N2 is in excess. There will be consumed 1.83 / 6 = 0.305 moles

There will remain 1.24 - 0.305 = 0.935 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of Li3N

For 6 moles Li consumed, we need 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of Li3N

For 1.83 moles Li, we'll have 1.83/3 = 0.61 moles of Li3N

Step 7: Calculate mass of Li3N

Mass Li3N =moles LI3N * Molar Mass LI3N

Mass Li3N = 0.610 moles * 34.83 g/mol

Mass Li3N = 21.2463 grams = Theoretical yield

Step 8: Calculate % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (5.85 / 21.2463)*100% = 27.5%

The % yield of the reaction = 27.5 %

Answer:

None of these are correct, because there is no way to balance this equation, but I hope these steps help you figure out your answer.

Explanation:

Count out the single amounts of elements you have on both sides of the equation. To be balanced, you need to have the exact same for each element.

Before balanced Left side.

Cl-2

O-8

H-2

Before balanced right side.

H-1

Cl-1

O-3

That means we need to increase Hydrogen, Chlorine and Oxygen on the right for sure and see how that affects the equation. You can keep adding the Coefficients until the # of elements begin to match on each side.  

(I tried to balance this equation, it doesn't work, there is too much on the reactants side for what the product is.)

What is the density of a 6 g of pure copper with a volume of 12 mL?
Sati [7]

Answer:

The density of copper is 0.5 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 6 g

Volume of copper = 12 mL

Density of copper = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

d = 6 g/ 12 mL

d = 0.5 g/mL

Thus, the density of copper is 0.5 g/mL

hjlf

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Explanation :

The given two chemical reactions are:

(1) 2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

(2) 3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

First we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3, and reaction 2 by 2, we get:

(1)

(2) 6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Now we are adding both the reactions, we get the overall chemical reaction.

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6MnO_2(s)+6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

The  MnO_2 is common on both side, by cancelling it, we get:

The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)
