Methanol (CH3OH) can be produced by the following reaction: CO(g) 1 2H2(g) 88n CH3OH(g) Hydrogen at STP flows into a reactor at

a rate of 16.0 L/min. Carbon monoxide at STP flows into the reactor at a rate of 25.0 L/min. If 5.30 g of methanol is produced per minute, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Explanation:

It is know that, 1 mole of a gas at STP occupies a volume of 22. 4 L. Hence, calculate the number of moles of CO as follows.

     No. of moles of CO being fed per minute = \frac{25.0 L}{22.4 L} per minute

                  = 1.116 moles per minute

No. of moles of H_{2} being fed per minute = \frac{16.0 L}{22.4 L} per minute

                 = 0.714 moles per minute

As, the balanced reaction equation is as follows.

          CO + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{3}OH

Here, H_{2} is the limiting reagent.  Since, 2 moles H_{2} is equivalent to 1 mol methanol produced .

Or,          0.71 moles of H_{2} contains (\frac{1}{2}) \times 0.71 moles

                            = 0.357 moles of methanol.

Therefore, theoretical yield of methanol = 0.357 moles per minute.

Observed yield of methanol = 5.30 gram per minute

                                         = \frac{5.30 gram}{32.04 g/mol}

                                          = 0.165 moles per minute

Nowe, we will calculate the percentage yield as follows.

       % yield = \frac{\text{observed yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \times 100

                      = \frac{0.165 moles/min}{0.357 moles/min} \times 100

                      = 46.32%

Thus, we can conclude that percent yield of the reaction is 46.32%.

Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles h2 consumed per liter per second
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Average rate of reaction expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Explanation:

The complete, correct Question, is presented in the attached image to this answer.

The average rate of reaction in terms of the reactant is defined as the total amount of reactant consumed over a period of time divided by total period of time.

Mathematically,

Average rate of reaction = (change in concentration of H₂ over a period of time) ÷ (total period of time)

Average rate of reaction = (-ΔC)/(Δt)

The minus sign is there because the concentration of reactants reduce with time.

change in concentration of H₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.02 - 0.03) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s

We could solve for the average rate of reaction expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second

change in concentration of Cl₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.04 - 0.05) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Hope this Helps!!!

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp
vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = T_1= 21.36^oC

Final temperature of the calorimeter = T_2= 26.37^oC

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

Q=C\times \Delta T

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol
