Answer is: <span>yield of a reaction is 56,4%.
</span>Chemical reaction: PCl₃ + 3H₂O → 3HCl + H₃PO₃.
m(PCl₃) = 200 g.
m(HCl) = 91,0 g.
n(PCl₃) = m(PCl₃) ÷ M(PCl₃).
n(PCl₃) = 200 g ÷ 137,33 g/mol.
n(PCl₃) = 1,46 mol.
n(HCl) = m(HCl) ÷ M(HCl).
n(HCl) = 91 g ÷ 36,45 g/mol.
n(HCl) = 2,47 mol.
From reaction: n(PCl₃) : n(HCl) = 1 : 3.
n(HCl) = 1,46 mol · 3 = 4,38 mol.
Yield of reaction: 2,47 mol ÷ 4,38 mol · 100% = 56,4%.

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the reaction is 56.92 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of phosphorus trichloride = 200 g

Molar mass of phosphorus trichloride = 137.33 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of phosphorus trichloride}=\frac{200g}{137.33g/mol}=1.46mol

The chemical reaction of phosphorus trichloride with water follows the equation:

PCl_3+3H_2O\rightarrow H_3PO_3+3HCl

As, water is present in excess. It is considered as excess reagent.

Phosphorus trichloride is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of phosphorus trichloride produces 3 moles of hydrochloric acid.

So, 1.46 moles of phosphorus trichloride will produce = \frac{3}{1}\times 1.46=4.38mol of hydrochloric acid.

  • Now, calculating the mass of hydrochloric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of hydrochloric acid = 36.5 g/mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid = 4.38 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

4.38mol=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrochloric acid}}{36.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of hydrochloric acid}=159.87g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of hydrochloric acid, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of hydrochloric acid = 91.0 g

Theoretical yield of hydrochloric acid = 159.87 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of hydrochloric acid}=\frac{91.0g}{159.87g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of hydrochloric acid}=56.92\%

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 56.92 %.

How many seconds (s) are needed to deposit 7.25 g of copper metal from an aqueous solution of CuCl2, using a current of 3.1 Amps
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

7,052.6secs

Explanation:

n of Cu = +2

R.A.M of Cu = 64g

m = 7.25g

I = 3.1A

F = 96500

nF = R.A.M

It = m

2*96500 = 64

3.1*t = 7.25

1,399,250 = 198.4t

t = 7,052.6secs
