Answer:

Theoretical yield for CO₂ is 5.10g

Explanation:

Reaction: 2C₆H₆(l) + 15O₂(g) → 12CO₂(g)  + 6H₂O(g)

We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:

4.64 g /32 g/mol = 0.145 moles of O₂

Let's find out the 100% yield reaction of CO₂ (theoretical yield)

Ratio is 15:12. So let's make this rule of three:

15 moles of O₂ can produce 12 moles of CO₂

Therefore 0.145 moles of oxygen will produce (0.145 . 12) /15 = 0.116 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 0.116 mol . 44 g / 1mol = 5.10 g

Answer:

The theoretical yield of carbon dioxdide = 5.11 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of oxygen gas = 4.64 grams

Molar mass of O2 = 32.0 g/mol

The reaction yields 3.95 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles oxygen = mass oxygen / molar mass oxygen

Moles oxygen = 4.64 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.145 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of carbon dioxide (CO2)

For 2 moles C6H6 we need 15 moles O2 to produce 12 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.145 moles O2 we'll have 12/15 * 0.145 = 0.116 moles CO2

Step 5: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.116 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 5.11 grams

The theoretical yield of carbon dioxdide = 5.11 grams

how would you write equation to show how buffers H2CO3 and NaHCO3 behave when (a) HCl is added and (b) NaOH is added.
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>H2CO3 <---> H+ + HCO3-
NaHCO3 <---> Na+ + HCO3-

When acid is added in the buffer, the excess H+ of that acid reacts with HCO3- to form H2CO3, and due to this NaHCO3 dissociates into HCO3- to attain the equilibrium. and hence there is no net effect of H+ due to pH remain almost constant. when a base is added to the buffer, the OH- ion of base react eith H+ ion present in buffer, then to attain equilibrium of H+ ion, the H2CO3 dissociates to produce H+ ion, but now there is the excess of HCO3- due to which Na+ ion react with them to attain equilibrium of HCO3-. hence there is again no net change in H+ ion due to which pH remain constant.....</span>
