Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth's lithosphere. Plates at our planet’s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth’s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.

If you obtained 2.50 moles of CuSO4 from the reaction of CuO and H2SO4, but the theoretical yield was 3.19 moles, what was the p
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

  • 78.4%

Explanation:

Just as context, write the chemical equation and the mole ratios

1) <u>Balanced chemical equation</u>:

  • CuO (s) +  H₂SO₄ (aq) → CuSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

2) <u>Therotetical (stoichiometric) mole ratios</u>:

  • 1 mol CuO : 1 mol  H₂SO₄  : 1 mol CuSO₄  : 1 mol H₂O

You can calculate the percent yield from the amount of CuSO₄ obtained and the theoretical yield

3) <u>Percent yield</u>

  • Definition:

         Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)×100

  • Theoretical yiedl (given): 3.19 moles CuSO₄

  • Actual yield (given): 2.50 moles CuSO₄

  • Calcualtion:

Substitute the values in the formula:

  • Percent yield = (2.50 moles CuSO₄ / 3.19 moles CuSO₄)×100 = 78.4%

Trava [24]

Answer:

55g NH₄Cl / 100g Water

Explanation:

Solubility of a substance define the amount of solute per solvent in a saturated solution. The solution can dissolve additional solute if heated.

In the problem, as the first crystal appears at 61°C the solubility in this temperature is the concentration of the solution, that is:

2,75g NH₄Cl / 5,0g water ₓ 100 = <em>55g NH₄Cl / 100g Water</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

V(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL.
d(C₄H₆O₃) = 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = V(C₄H₆O₃) · d(C₄H₆O₃).
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL · 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = m(C₄H₆O₃) ÷ M(C₄H₆O₃).
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g ÷ 102 g/mol.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 0.0529 mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 2.08 g ÷ 138.1 g/mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 0.015 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(C₄H₆O₃) : n(C₉H₈O₄) = 1 : 1.
n(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol · 180.16 g/mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 2.71 g; theoretical yield.
percent yield od aspirine = 2.57 g ÷ 2.71 g · 100% = 94.83%.
