<em>Reasons why a 100% yield is not obtained in actual chemical manufacturing processes may be;</em>

- The reactor has a certain capacity to produce a certain yield

- There is a limiting reactant that runs out and the reaction can not proceed any further

It may also be because the reaction is reversible or because of loses of desired product during isolation and purification.

There are five constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C6H14. When treated with chlorine at 300°C, isomer A gives a mi

Answer:

Pentane or 2,2-dimethylbutane

Explanation:

I've numbered the isomeric hexanes from 1 to 5 and labelled the sets of equivalent hydrogens.

The results are

Isomer 1— three sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 2— five sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 3— four sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 4— two sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 5— three sets of equivalent hydrogens

Each set will give one monochloro substitution product.

4 = A. Two monochloro isomers.

2 = B. Five monochloro isomers.

3 = C. Four monochloro isomers.

Isomers 1 and 5 each give three monochloro isomers.

Thus, we cannot assign Structure D definitively.

D is either pentane or 2,2-dimethylbutane.

Is matter and mass always the same

Anna11 [10]

Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.

The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihyd

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The answer is " $= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2$ ".

Explanation:

calculating the moles in $CH_4 =\frac{PV}{RT}$

$=\frac{(0.58 \ atm) \times (923 \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(232^{\circ} C +273)}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(505)K}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (41.4605 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol})}\\\\= 12.9 \ mol$

Eqution:

$CH_4 +H_2O \to 3H_2+ CO \ (g)$

Calculating the amount of $H_2$ produced:

$= 12.9 \ mol CH_4 \times \frac{3 \ mol \ H_2 }{1 \ mol \ CH_4}\times \frac{2.016 g H_2}{1 \ mol \ H_2}\\\\= 78 \ g \ H_2 \\\\= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2$

So, the amount of dihydrogen produced = $0.078 \frac{kg}{s}$

What is the molarity of 2.00 L of a solution that contains 14.6 g NaCl?

White raven [17]

Answer: The molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

moles of $NaCl$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{14.6g}{58.5g/mol}=0.250mol$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molarity=\frac{0.250mol}{2.00L}=0.125M$

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

How many Ne atoms are contained in 32.0 g of the element?

Svetlanka [38]

Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol

1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g

Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.

6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g

x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.

Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.
