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%.

what's the density of an element if a sample has a mass of 43.2 g and a volume of 96.5 mL. (0.45 g/mL)
lisov135 [29]
To find the answer you need to use the formula that will help you to find the density. Density = mass/volume
d = 43.2g/96.5mL = 0.45g/mL

How is heat produced in a chemical change​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:Hola UwU

Most chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. It takes energy to break a chemical bond but energy is released when chemical bonds are formed. If more energy is released than consumed, then the chemical reaction evolves heat and is said to be exothermic.

Which statements correctly describe the decay rates of radioactive isotopes?
storchak [24]

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay  follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
