When 5.00 g of Al2S3 and 2.50 g of H2O are reacted according to the following reaction: Al2S3(s) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H

2S(g) 2.10 g were obtained. What is the percent yield of the reaction?

Answer:

Y=58.15\%

Explanation:

Hello,

For the given chemical reaction:

Al_2S_3(s) + 6 H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2 Al(OH)_3(s) + 3 H_2S(g)

We first must identify the limiting reactant by computing the reacting moles of Al2S3:

n_{Al_2S_3}=5.00gAl_2S_3*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{150.158 gAl_2S_3} =0.0333molAl_2S_3

Next, we compute the moles of Al2S3 that are consumed by 2.50 of H2O via the 1:6 mole ratio between them:

n_{Al_2S_3}^{consumed}=2.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{6molH_2O}=0.0231mol  Al_2S_3

Thus, we notice that there are more available Al2S3 than consumed, for that reason it is in excess and water is the limiting, therefore, we can compute the theoretical yield of Al(OH)3 via the 2:1 molar ratio between it and Al2S3 with the limiting amount:

m_{Al(OH)_3}=0.0231molAl_2S_3*\frac{2molAl(OH)_3}{1molAl_2S_3}*\frac{78gAl(OH)_3}{1molAl(OH)_3} =3.61gAl(OH)_3

Finally, we compute the percent yield with the obtained 2.10 g:

Y=\frac{2.10g}{3.61g} *100\%\\\\Y=58.15\%

Best regards.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO
Vilka [71]

Answer: a) Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2:  Decomposition

b) NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2: double displacement

c) CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3: Synthesis (Combination)

d) ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn: redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn

satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Step 1;  NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)

Step 2 ; CO2(g)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.

Step 1;  

  • A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
  • Equation;

NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)

Step 2;

  • Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:

H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
