explain in your own words how you would determine the mass of a product in a chemical reaction (theoretical yield) if you know t

he mass of reactant.

ANTONII [103]3 years ago
8 0

I would use the following steps:

  1. Write the <em>balanced chemical equation</em> for the reaction.
  2. Use the molar mass to <em>convert the mass of the reactant to moles</em>.
  3. Use the molar ratio of product:reactant from the balanced chemical equation to <em>convert moles of reactant to moles of product</em>.
  4. Use the molar mass of the product to <em>convert moles of product to mass of product</em>.

You can use the diagram below to remind you of the importance of the <em>molar ratio</em> in mass-mass conversions

You must get over the mole “hill” to make the conversion.

Write a sentence that descrices how to determine the number of moles of a compound in known mass of a
sattari [20]

Explanation:

<u>Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  </u>

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

For example ,

For  a compound X ,

The given mass i.e. w = 20 g

and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol

Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,

n = w / m

n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol

Hence , answer = 2 mol.

Consider the following reaction
aliina [53]

Answer:

d, 40 dm3.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, the mole ratio of chemicals in a reaction is equal to the ratio of volumes of chemicals reacted (for gas).

From the equation, the mole ratio of N2 : H2 : NH3 = 1 : 3 : 2, meaning 1 mole of N2 reacts completely with 3 moles of H2 to give 2 moles of NH3, the ratio of volume required is also equal to 1 : 3 : 2.

Considering both N2 and H2 have 30dm3 of volume, but 1 mole of N2 reacts completely with 3 moles of H2, so we can see H2 is limiting while N2 is in excess. Using the ratio, we can deduce that 10dm3 equals to 1 in ratio (because 3 moles ratio = 30dm3).

With that being said, all H2 has reacted, meaning there's no volume of H2 left.  2 moles of NH3 is produced, meaning the volume of NH3 produced = 10 x 2 = 20 dm3. (using the ratio again)

1 mole of N2 has reacted, meaning from the  30dm3, only 10 dm3 has reacted. This also indicate that 20 dm3 of N2 has not been reacted.

So at the end, the mixture contains 20dm3 of NH3, and 20 dm3 of unreacted N2. Hence, the answer is d, 40 dm3.

What is Avogadro's number, and why is it useful? (3 points)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³; it is a conversion factor between moles and number of particles

Explanation:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole of hydrogen  = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

238 g of uranium = 1 mole of uranium = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of uranium

By taking ions:

62 g of NO⁻₃ =  1 mole of  NO⁻₃  = 6.022 × 10²³ ions of  NO⁻₃

96 g of SO₄²⁻ = 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ =  6.022 × 10²³ ions of  SO₄²⁻

which components of an endothermic reaction have a higher heat content?-reactants-products-reaction vessel-water
lana66690 [7]
Please, observe that it is not right to say that a substance content heat.

Heat is not something that a body or substance content. Heat is the transmission of energy due to difference of temperatures.

An endothermic reactions is that where the reactants abosorb energy from the surroundings to occur. The products, then, will be higher in energy than the reactants while the surroundings get colder.
