Answer:

16ml

Explanation:

2H2O → 2H2 + O2

2mol 2mol 1mol

volume of oxygen produced =8ml

1mole of a gas contains 22.4dm³

8ml will be equal to 8ml/22.4dm³ number of moles of oxygen gas

Using the stoichoimetric co-efficients;2moles of H2 and 1mol of Oxygen were produced

so number of moles of hydrogen will be [(2*8ml)/22.4dm³moles

but 1mol contains 22.4dm³

[(2*8ml)/22.4dm³moles will contain x

cross multiply;

x= (2*8ml)mol/22.4dm³ *22.4dm³/1mol

x=16ml

simply put ; using the stochoimetric coefficients if 2moles of H2 correspond to 1mol of O2, thus 16ml of H2 will correspod to 8ml of O2.

An excess of sodium carbonate, Na, CO3, in solution is added to a solution containing 17.87 g CaCl2. After performing the

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Approximately $81.84\%$ .

Explanation:

Balanced equation for this reaction:

${\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + {\rm CaCl_{2}} \, (aq) \to 2\; {\rm NaCl}\, (aq) + {\rm CaCO_{3}}\, (s)$ .

Look up the relative atomic mass of elements in the limiting reactant, $\rm CaCl_{2}$ , as well as those in the product of interest, $\rm CaCO_{3}$ :

$\rm Ca$ : $40.078$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .
$\rm C$ : $12.011$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .

Calculate the formula mass for both the limiting reactant and the product of interest:

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm CaCl_{2}}) \\ &= (40.078 + 2 \times 35.45)\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &= 110.978\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm CaCO_{3}}) \\ &= (40.078 + 12.011 + 3 \times 15.999)\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &= 100.086\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the quantity of the limiting reactant ( $\rm CaCl_{2}$ ) available to this reaction:

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm CaCl_{2}) &= \frac{m({\rm {CaCl_{2}})}}{M({\rm CaCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{17.87\; \rm g}{110.978\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &\approx 0.161023\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Refer to the balanced equation for this reaction. The coefficients of the limiting reactant ( $\rm CaCl_{2}$ ) and the product ( ${\rm CaCO_{3}}$ ) are both $1$ . Thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{n({\rm CaCO_{3}})}{n({\rm CaCl_{2}})} = 1$ .

In other words, for every $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm CaCl_{2}$ formula units that are consumed, $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm CaCO_{3}$ formula units would (in theory) be produced. Thus, calculate the theoretical yield of $\rm CaCO_{3}\!$ in this experiment:

$\begin{aligned} & n(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \\ =\; & n({\rm CaCl_{2}}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm CaCO_{3}})}{n({\rm CaCl_{2}})} \\ \approx \; & 0.161023\; {\rm mol} \times 1 \\ =\; & 0.161023\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the theoretical yield of this experiment in terms of the mass of $\rm CaCO_{3}$ expected to be produced:

$\begin{aligned} & m(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \\ = \; & n(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \cdot M(({\rm CaCO_{3}}) \\ \approx \; & 0.161023\; {\rm mol} \times 100.086\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ \approx \; & 16.1161\; \rm g \end{aligned}$ .

Given that the actual yield in this question (in terms of the mass of $\rm CaCO_{3}$ ) is $13.19\; \rm g$ , calculate the percentage yield of this experiment:

$\begin{aligned} & \text{percentage yield} \\ =\; & \frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \times 100\% \\ \approx \; & \frac{13.19\; {\rm g}}{16.1161\; {\rm g}} \times 100\% \\ \approx \; & 81.84\%\end{aligned}$ .
