Answer:

Percent yield = 84.5 %

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methanol = 229 g

Actual yield of water = 219 g

Percent yield of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2CH₃OH + 3O₂  →  2CO₂  + 4H₂O

Number of moles of methanol:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 229 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 7.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with methanol.

                        CH₃OH         :            H₂O

                            2               :               4

                           7.2             :           4/2×7.2 = 14.4 mol

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molae mass

Mass = 14.4 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 259.2 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 219 g / 259.2 g × 100

Percent yield = 84.5 %

Two of the substances in part 1 are ionic. which factors will result in a stronger ionic bond overall?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Greater absolute charge 
- This is because ionic bond results from stronger electrostatic forces of attraction.
- The higher the value of charges q₁ and q₂ the stronger will be the ionic bond.

Which equation best represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of potassium phosphate
laiz [17]

Answer:

2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

In a net ionic equation you list <em>only the ions that are participating in the reaction. </em>

When potassium phosphate, K₃PO₄, reacts with iron (II) nitrate, Fe(NO₃)₂ producing iron (II) phosphate, Fe₃(PO₄)₂ that is an insoluble salt. The reaction is:

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Fe(NO₃)₂ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

The ionic equation is:

6K⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ + 6NO₃⁻→ Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

Subtracting the K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions that are not participating in the reaction, the net ionic equation is:

<h3>2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)</h3>
