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 %

If a buffer solution is 0.130 M in a weak acid (K_a = 1.7 x 10^-5) and 0.590 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?
Serggg [28]
Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43

It takes 486.0 kJ/mol to convert sodium atoms to Na+ ions. Sodium atoms absorb and emit light of wavelengths 589.6 and 590.0 nm.
solmaris [256]
We first calculate the energy contained in one photon of this light using Planck's equation:

E = hc/λ

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 590 x 10⁻⁹
E = 3.37 x 10⁻²² kJ/photon

Now, one mole of atoms will excite one mole of photons. This means that 6.02 x 10²³ photons will be excited

(3.37 x 10⁻²² kJ/photon) x (6.02 x 10²³ photons / mol)

The energy released will be 202.87 kJ/mol

Calculate the molarity of the solution.
IRISSAK [1]
<span>The formula given for it is 
moles = given wt/mol.Wt

 Mol.wt of  nacl
nacl=23+35.5
=58.5 gm
 Moles = 29/58.5
= 0.495
~ 0.15 moles </span>
