In a reaction vessel, 17.6 g of solid chromium(III) oxide, Cr2O3, was allowed to react with excess carbon tetrachloride in the f

ollowing reaction.
Cr2O3(s) + 3 CCl4(l) → 2 CrCl3(s) + 3 COCl2(aq)
Determine the percent yield of the reaction, given that the actual yield of chromium chloride, CrCl3, was 26.6 g. (The molar mass of Cr2O3 is 152.00 g/mol and the molar mass of CrCl3 is 158.35 g/mol.)

Answer:

72.53% is the yield of CrCl3

Explanation:

Given

Reaction:

Cr2O3(s) + 3 CCl4(l) → 2 CrCl3(s) + 3 COCl2(aq)

CCl4 is in excess and 17.6g  Cr2O3 present

The reaction yields 26.6g of CrCl3

To Find:

% yields of the reaction

Also given

Molar mass of CrCl3 = 158.35g/mol

Molar mass of Cr2O3 = 152.00 g/mol

By the stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of Cr2O3 gives  2 moles of CrCl3

0r

1 x1 52 g of Cr2O3 gives 2x 158.35 g of CrCl3

= 1 52 g of Cr2O3 gives 316.70 g of CrCl3

    17.6 g of Cr2O3 gives  (17.6÷152) × 316.70 g CrCl3

= 36.67 g CrCl3

but actual yield is only 26.6g

so % yield is (26.6 ÷÷ 36.67) × 100

= 72.53% is the yield of CrCl3

Researchers used a combustion method to analyze a compound used as an antiknock additive in gasoline. A 9.394 mg sample of the c
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound = 9.394 mg

Mass  of CO2 yielded = 31.154 mg

Mass of H2O yielded = 7.977 mg

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

moles of CO2 = (0.031154 g / 44.01 g/mol) = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles C

moles of C = moles of CO2 * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2)

moles of C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

moles of H2O = (0.007977 g / 18.02 g/mol) = 4.43 * 10^-4 mol H2O

Step 5: Calculate moles of H

moles of H = moles of H2O * (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O)

moles of H =  4.43* 10^-4 *2 = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol H

Step 6: Calculate mass of C

mass C = moles C * molar mass C

mass C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol*12.01 g/mol

mass C = 0.0085 grams

Step 7: Calculate mass of H

mass H = moles H * molar mass H

mass H = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol*1.01 g/mol

mass H = 0.000894 grams

Step 8: Calculate total mass of compound =

0.0085 grams + 0.000894 grams = 0.009394 grams = 9.394 mg

Step 9: Calculate the percent composition:  

% C = (8.50 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 90.5%  

% H = (0.894 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 9.5%

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H

Neutral atoms of argon, atomic number 18, have the same number of electrons as each of the following items except: Cl- S -2 K+ C
irinina [24]

Answer:

Ne.

Explanation:

Neutral argon, atomic number 18, has 18 electrons.

Cl⁻:

Neutral atom of Cl, atomic number 17, has 17 electrons.

When it gains electron and be Cl⁻, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

S²⁻:

Neutral atom of S, atomic number 16, has 16 electrons.

When it gains 2 electrons and be S²⁻, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

K⁺:

Neutral atom of K, atomic number 19, has 19 electrons.

When it losses electron and be K⁺, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

<em>Ca²⁺:</em>

Neutral atom of Ca, atomic number 20, has 20 electrons.

When it losses 2 electrons and be Ca²⁺, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

Ne:

It is a noble gas that has 10 electrons.

<em>So, the right choice is: Ne.</em>
