Answer:
The answer to your question is: 70.8%
Explanation:
Data
Al₂O₃ = 60 g
C = 30 g
CO = gas
Al = 22.5 g
MW Al₂O₃ = 102 g
MW C = 12 g
MW Al = 54 g
Reaction
Al₂O₃ + 3C ⇒ 3 CO + 2 Al
Limiting reactant
102 g of Al₂O₃ -------------- 54 g Al
60 g -------------- x
x = 31.8 g
36 g of C ------------------ 54 g of Al
30 g of C ------------------ x
x = 45 g of Al
Limiting reactant = Al₂O₃
Percent yield =
Percent yield = 70.75 %
There are 10 hydrogen atoms that bind and there are 2 pairs of free electrons in the non-binding O atom
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing carbonyl groups (-CO-) where one bond binds to an alkyl group while another binds to a hydrogen atom.
The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula :
Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al
Butanal or butyraldehyde is an aldehyde which has 4 C atoms
Inside the structure there are 3 atoms involved in bonding:
- 1. Atom C with 4 valence electrons, requires 4 electrons to reach the octet
- 2. Atom O with 6 valence electrons, requires 2 electrons to reach the octet
- 3. Atom H with 1 valence electron, requires 1 electron to reach a duplet
In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:
- 1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
- 2. Give each bond a pair of electrons
- 3. The remaining electrons are given to the atomic terminal so that an octet is reached
- 4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
- 5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds
In the Butanal structure (C₄H₈O) there is 1 double bond of the functional group (-CHO) between the C atom and the O atom
